Controller
For controlling automations and electrified locks (like community gates, shutters, parking systems, or elevators).
Allows traditional opening methods to remain in parallel.
Akiles Controller lets you open
any door or automation system

Compatible with Traditional Access
Akiles Controller allows you to keep traditional access methods running alongside it.
In the case of a community entrance, it can still be accessed with a physical key; for the parking area, with a remote control... and the same applies to biometric sensors, proximity cards, or numeric keypads.
Configurations
Standard
Suitable for cases where the access point is far from an Internet connection but within a 40m radius of another device connected to the Cloud (indoors).
Requires an additional device to connect to the Akiles Cloud.
Ethernet
Connects directly to the Akiles Cloud via an Ethernet port (e.g., router or Ethernet plug).
Ideal for cases where the access point is near an Internet connection.
Can provide Cloud connectivity to up to 25 additional devices.
Mobile
It connects to the Akiles Cloud via 2G/4G technology, incorporating a micro SIM card integrated into the device.
Perfect for locations without Internet or where the Internet access point is far from the entry.
Can provide Cloud connectivity to up to 25 additional devices.
Wifi
Connects to the Akiles Cloud via the space’s WiFi (2.4 GHz) network.
Suitable when there’s no Ethernet port near the access point and good WiFi signal strength is available.
Can provide Cloud connectivity to up to 25 additional devices.
+16
Requires an additional device to connect to the Akiles Cloud.
Includes 16 additional relays beyond the Standard Controller, capable of controlling 19 openable elements.
Ideal for centralized installations managing multiple spaces (e.g., lockers or storage units).
Connectivity
Online Opening
Some Akiles Controller models can connect directly to the Akiles Cloud, while others require an additional device.
Cloud connectivity enables remote openings and real-time permission syncing.
Offline Opening
If there’s no Internet, opening is only possible via the app if the Akiles Controller is within BT range.
If an Akiles Pinpad is installed, access is also possible via PIN code, NFC card, and/or mobile NFC.
Akiles Controller, always at peak performance
Akiles devices feature automatic firmware updates (Over The Air Updates -OTAs-), adding new features and improvements without interrupting operation.
Access permissions always up to date
When a user with the Akiles app tries to access an offline device (no Cloud connection due to lack of power or Internet), the phone automatically syncs permissions via BT.
This process is seamless and unnoticeable to the user.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Akiles compatible with any door type?
Yes. We can install on any access point: community entrances, main doors of any material (wood, metal, glass…), automatic doors, parking gates, sliding doors, elevators, turnstiles, panic doors…
Does the system need constant Internet to work?
Internet is needed for remote features (like unlocking doors remotely or updating device permissions).
But without Internet at the property or user data, offline access still works via app (BT/NFC), PIN codes, or cards.
Plus, if an app user accesses an offline device, their phone auto-updates permissions via BT.
What if I lose my phone or it's stolen?
Security stays intact. You can instantly log in from another device and sign out the lost/stolen phone.
How secure is Akiles against unauthorized access?
We prioritize security and privacy at multiple levels:
We use end-to-end double encryption and Asymmetric Key Cryptography, guarding against advanced attacks (e.g., replay, time shift).
Data is hosted under EU law, meeting GDPR, ISO standards, and PCI DSS.
Physically, our devices are robust, with encrypted credentials secured in hardware—unreachable even with circuit access.
Devices get constant firmware updates (OTAs) for peak performance without downtime.
Finally, our systems log all access in real time—who, where, when, and how.
How long does installation take, and what's required?
Installation time varies by setup. A simple one (e.g., entrance + main door) takes about an hour, including setup.
Interested? One of our Cloud Access Consultants will ask for photos of your access points, recommend the right Akiles device, and give you a custom quote on the spot.
How's support handled if issues arise?
We offer 24/7 customer support, 365 days a year. Our Customer Success team is reachable anytime via email (info@akiles.app), phone, or WhatsApp (+34 93 393 12 20).
Can I still access if power, Internet, or my battery dies?
Yes. Akiles ensures access even without power, Internet, phone, or data.
If there's no power/Internet or data, use the app (via BT/NFC), PIN code, or card.
No phone? PIN codes or cards still work.
In short, access is always guaranteed.
How do I access if the Akiles device battery dies?
You'll need to replace the device's batteries first.
No issue—Akiles devices allow battery swaps even when fully drained.
For Cylinder and Pinpad, swap from outside using tools provided by our installers.
For Roomlock, power it externally via micro USB to access and replace batteries inside.
When a device hits 15% battery, an alert pops up in the Admin Panel—keep an eye on the “Alerts” section.
What about emergency exits? Do I need Akiles to leave?
No. Akiles only requires unlocking from outside, so in emergencies, you can exit without a phone, PIN, or card.
The exception is the double-sided Akiles Cylinder, which needs unlocking both ways—but it's only installed where another emergency exit exists.
