Fluss

Your gate now opens from your car's screen. Fluss+ is live on Apple CarPlay and Android Auto: your gates one tap away on the dashboard, no reaching for your phone. Short setup video here: youtu.be/XHFYjDFThDY?si=O4go… #AppleCarPlay

Three words into Claude: “Open home gate”. The gate opened. Fluss runs an MCP server, so AI agents can list, check and trigger access control devices directly. Setup takes a minute. Fluss: open IoT platform for access control, live in 9 countries.

A few years ago, Tom and Ockie used to talk about this on a golf course. Gate systems, devices, an idea that didn't exist yet. They still play. Except now the conversation is different: nine countries, a team that ships hardware every week, a company that actually runs.

Not every visitor needs an app. Some just need to get in once. Our latest blog post covers Fluss' One Time Entry & Exit feature: a four digit PIN that works exactly twice, one entry, one exit, with nothing to install. Built for the visitor who's only coming once.

Michael doesn't sell Fluss from behind a desk. This week he was outside one of our reseller's shops, phone in hand, walking a customer through exactly how Fluss+ works before they'd even stepped inside. No slide deck, no demo video; just a real controller, a real gate! #fluss

Tsegofatso doesn't just check whether a device works. He decides whether it's good enough to ship. Every Fluss device - the access controllers going out to nine countries, the bespoke sensors we build for clients who needed something that didn't exist yet - passes through him before it reaches a customer. That's what "we build it end to end" actually means in practice. Not just hardware design, firmware, and cloud, but someone whose job is to catch the problem before a client does. Fluss is an open IoT platform for access control, visitor management, and bespoke connected device development. Built in Johannesburg and Stellenbosch. Deployed across nine countries. If your industry has a monitoring or control problem, let's build something. fluss.io #IoT #Manufacturing #QualityControl #CustomHardware #TeamFluss #FlussIO

"Fluss has blown my mind with their latest innovation! A completely wireless intercom system, no power, no components, and incredibly easy to install and use." That's D. Botes, one of our clients already running the Fluss Intercom, whether it's for a single home or an entire complex. No wiring. No electrician. No power at the entrance at all. Just a QR board that connects a visitor to whoever they're there to see, installed in under 15 minutes. Fluss is an open IoT platform for access control and visitor management, deployed across nine countries. Fluss Intercom needs zero power at the entrance and scales from a single home to a full complex. Real feedback, no fine print. fluss.io/intercom #AccessControl #VisitorManagement #SmartHome #FlussIO

Your remote fob proves you're holding a valid object. That's it. That's all it proves. We published a full comparison this week of what actually changes when access control moves from a fob or RFID tag to something cloud-managed: who has access right now, when it can be revoked, and what happens when someone loses one. Short version: a fob has no idea who's holding it, when it was used, or whether it should still work. Fluss+ knows all three, from anywhere, on your phone. Fluss is an open IoT platform for access control and visitor management, deployed across nine countries. Fluss+ replaces fobs and tags with a controller that connects to your existing gate motor.

Parking sensors. Smart irrigation. Leak detection. Cold chain monitoring. Environmental sensing. Different industries, same underlying problem: something needs to be measured or controlled, and nothing off-the-shelf does it the way the business actually needs it done. That's the bespoke side of Fluss. Same hardware design, firmware, cloud backend, and SaaS stack that runs our access control platform, applied to whatever problem you bring us. Fluss is an open IoT platform for access control, visitor management, and bespoke connected device development. Built in South Africa. Deployed across nine countries.

You can now build Fluss access control straight into your own app. No webview, no redirect out to ours. The Fluss SDK is live for iOS (Swift) and Android (Kotlin), native packages that let developers embed device listing, status checks, and triggering directly inside their own mobile app. This is for the property management platforms, security apps, and OEM partners who want Fluss access control to feel like their product, not a bolt-on to ours. Fluss is an open IoT platform for access control and visitor management. The SDK runs on the same infrastructure already serving 50,000+ daily users across nine countries, just packaged for native mobile development.

Ask an AI agent to open a gate. It can now do that directly, not by guessing from a webpage. We shipped two things this month: an llms.txt file at fluss.io/llms.txt, and a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, @fluss/mcp-server that lets AI coding assistants and autonomous agents list, check, and "trigger" Fluss devices straight from code. Why this matters: AI agents like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini increasingly answer questions and take actions by reading structured content and calling tools directly, not by scraping a marketing page. A platform that isn't readable and operable by an agent is invisible to an entire category of traffic that's only growing. Fluss is an open IoT platform for access control and visitor management, deployed across nine countries. Our REST API already lets any software open a gate. Now an AI agent can do the same thing: list devices, check status, trigger access, through five documented MCP tools. Built for developers, property platforms, and increasingly, the AI agents they run on. fluss.io/llms.txt #IoT #AI #MCP #AccessControl #DeveloperTools #FlussIO

Most IoT companies sell you a product. We build you a solution. In the last 12 months, our team has deployed: → A IoT monitoring system for a mining operation → UPS monitoring infrastructure for critical power environments → Access control systems across nine countries on four continents → White-label IoT hardware for OEM partners who needed their brand on the device, not ours Every one of these started the same way, someone had a problem that off-the-shelf could not solve. We designed the hardware, wrote the firmware, built the cloud backend, and shipped. We are a small team. We move fast. We take ownership of the whole problem, from concept to scale. Fluss is an open IoT platform for access control, visitor management, and bespoke connected device development. Built in Johannesburg and Stellenbosch. Deployed across nine countries. If your industry has a monitoring or control problem, and the off-the-shelf options are not cutting it, let's build something. fluss.io #IoT #CustomIoT #IndustrialIoT #OEM #HardwareDevelopment #MiningTech #FlussIO

A property management platform managing 350+ residential estates needed to give residents, visitors, and contractors access to physical gates, programmatically, at scale, with no manual intervention. They did not want to build the hardware. They did not want to manage device firmware. They did not want to own the access control infrastructure. They wanted an API. So we built one. Today, their platform connects to Fluss via a single REST integration. When a resident is onboarded, access is provisioned automatically. When a contractor is scheduled, time-limited access is created programmatically. When a visitor arrives, the gate responds. Every event is logged. No manual steps. No separate access control app for the estate manager. They also white-label the hardware, so the device on the wall carries their brand, backed by Fluss infrastructure. Fluss is an open IoT platform for access control and visitor management. The API is designed for property platforms, logistics systems, and any software that needs reliable control over physical access points. If you are building a platform that needs to open doors, let's talk. fluss.io/api #IoTPlatform #API #Proptech #AccessControl #WhiteLabel #FlussIO

Fort Worth, Texas. LiftMaster motor. Fluss+ device. Same installation process. Same app. Same cloud platform. Different continent. This is one of the things people ask us most often: does Fluss+ work with my existing gate motor? The answer is yes, because Fluss+ connects to the dry contact terminals that every gate motor already has. It does not matter whether the motor is a LiftMaster in Texas, a Centurion in Johannesburg, a FAAC in Europe, or a CAME in the Middle East. What you get once it is wired in: → Full WiFi-connected cloud management from anywhere in the world → Unlimited users with scheduled and time-limited access → Complete audit log of every open event → 5-minute install. No electrician needed Fluss+ is part of the Fluss open IoT platform for access control and visitor management. Currently active across nine countries on four continents. Your motor. Our brain.

"I need a device that monitors pool temperature and pH." That is a real query someone typed into fluss.io this week. And it is a good one, because it is exactly the kind of problem we built Fluss to solve. Most people know us for access control. What they do not always know is that the same platform, the same hardware design capability, firmware development, cloud infrastructure, and SaaS, can be applied to almost any IoT problem. We have deployed it for: → UPS monitoring systems → Conveyor belt monitoring in mining operations → Energy metering → Asset tracking → Environmental sensors If your business has a monitoring or control problem that off-the-shelf cannot solve, we design the hardware, write the firmware, build the cloud backend, and ship the product. End to end. In-house. Fluss is an open IoT platform for access control, visitor management, and bespoke connected device development. Built in South Africa. Deployed across nine countries.

One API call. Any gate, door, or barrier. Anywhere in the world. That is the Fluss API in one line. A single REST call triggers any Fluss-connected device, with real-time confirmation, webhooks for event streams, and full programmatic access management. Right now: → 5,561 devices activated across nine countries on four continents → 50,000+ users rely on Fluss-built technology daily → API triggers growing at 23.7% month on month Property platforms, logistics systems, building automation, and autonomous delivery networks are all building on the Fluss API. Because when your software needs to open a physical door, reliably, at scale, with an audit trail, the infrastructure underneath it matters. Fluss is an open IoT platform for access control and visitor management. The API is the layer that connects any software system to the physical world. Free tier available.

Your visitor is at the gate. No app. No phone call. No guard. They click a link you sent them via WhatsApp, SMS, or email. It tells them to scan the QR board at the entrance, which confirms they are physically at that specific gate, not just someone who got hold of the link. They enter a 4-digit code. Gate opens. That is OTEE. One Time Entry Exit. Here is what makes it different from anything else on the market: → No app download required for the visitor → Physical presence verified via QR scan before the code works → The same code is then valid for exit only, one entry, one exit, then it is dead → Both events are automatically logged with a date and time stamp → No guard required at the exit point Self-managed exit with a full audit trail. For guesthouses, business parks, residential complexes, and any property that needs to know exactly who came in and when they left, without putting a person at the gate. Fluss is an open IoT platform for access control and visitor management, deployed across nine countries. OTEE runs on Fluss Intercom. fluss.io #AccessControl #VisitorManagement #IoT #SmartAccess #FlussIO
