200,000+ 1Control users

We were born in Italy, but opening up to the foreign market was one of the first steps we took.

1Control works on any existing opening system (such as gates, garages and doors) and is compatible throughout Europe.

This has led us to a rapid spread, as well as in Italy, mainly in France and Germany.

Maximum security and Made in Italy technology

We create IoT devices that make every existing opening system smart. Even in the absence of an Internet connection, we guarantee an innovative user experience and top-level security performance.

Our products are entirely designed and manufactured in Italy. Furthermore, SOLO and DORY are patented, as their technology is unique in the world.
