Igloohome Pad Lock

The Igloohome Smart Padlock is a Bluetooth lock that you can open with your phone. It lets you grant various access levels and is a breeze to configure but it lacks notifications and third party support.

The Igloohome Smart Padlock is an all-weather Bluetooth [lock](https://www.pcmag.com/picks/the-best-smart-locks) that lets you provide scheduled access to friends, family, and workers quickly and easily just by texting them a PIN code. You can also open the lock using the mobile app and monitor activity logs that tell you when it has been opened and by whom, what kind of PIN codes have been generated and when, and when the lock was last synced with the app. The lock is well built and can be fitted with a longer shackle for specific gate and door applications, but it’s missing a few common smart features including push and email alerts, voice control, and support for IFTTT applets that allow it to interact with other smart devices.

Design and Features

The Smart Padlock is made of stainless steel, zinc alloy, and synthetic rubber. It has a matte black finish and comes with a standard 1.2-inch hardened steel shackle, also black. For an extra $15 you can purchase a 3.2-inch shackle that is useful for locking things like bicycles and shed doors.

The lock body is oval, weighs a little less than a pound (15.8 ounces), measures 2.7 by 2.1 by 1.2 inches (HWD), and has an [IP66 weatherproof rating](https://www.pcmag.com/how-to/dust-resistant-waterproof-making-sense-of-gadget-ratings). Inside is a Bluetooth 4.1 radio that lets you control the lock with your phone, but you have to be within Bluetooth range (about 30 feet) to do so. Also inside is a CR2 lithium battery that will last up to one year before it has to be replaced. To access the battery compartment, use the included Torx security tool to remove the back cover. This is also where you’ll find the lynch pin that needs to be removed to swap out the shackle.
