AALOCK is a smart door lock system based on ESP32, Nema17 stepper motor, and TMC2209 driver, designed for secure and flexible access control. It supports both MQTT and REST API integration for automation systems such as Home Assistant. The system uses dual safety mechanisms (limit switches and StallGuard motor load detection) to ensure reliable locking and prevent mechanical failure. It includes a web interface for setup, OTA updates, physical control button, automatic locking logic, and LED status indication for system state and connectivity.

We combine web-development and network technologies with microcontroller programming to development automated systems consisting of many devices based on microcontrollers.
We can print parts on FDM and SLA printers using various plastics.
This is probably what we do best
Especially good at modeling mechanisms
We design and maintain a small library of open hardware modules: power supplies, LED drivers, LoRa communication boards and input devices that we reuse across projects. Most are published as open source with schematics, PCB layouts and firmware on GitHub.
