Introduction
KONE's digital displays replace traditional notices in buildings and complement digital building displays with modern information displays – directly in the elevator. Through integration with the Allthings platform, pinboard posts can be automatically displayed on KONE screens.
This ensures effective communication with residents – right where they are every day.
How it works
Thanks to the direct connection to the Allthings Cockpit, pinboard posts from the communication center can be specifically published on KONE displays. Further display content can be preconfigured centrally via the KONE platform.
Functions at a glance:
- Display of current announcements, weather, time, status messages, and more
- Display on networked elevator displays from KONE
- Automatic synchronization with the Allthings pinboard
- Flexible control by building or location
Information for residents
Using digital displays in the elevator

Setup and activation
For displaying pinboard posts in KONE elevators, the following requirements must be met:
- The digital screen function must be activated and set up
- The KONE displays must be installed on-site and connected to the network
- Connection to Allthings is made via a pre-configured interface
- Content can be managed and updated remotely
Publishing pinboard posts on KONE screens
When creating a new post in the communication center (Allthings Cockpit), you can specify whether it should also be displayed on the KONE displays in the elevators.
Here's how to proceed:
- Open the Allthings Cockpit.
- Go to the communication center.
- Create a new pinboard post.
- Activate the option "Display on screen".
- Select the display period.
- Assign a title for the post.
→ After saving, the post will be automatically transmitted and displayed on the linked KONE displays.
Note: Only the content is transferred – the design and layout of the display are defined by KONE. More information can be found here.
Please note:
- Character limit: Depending on the design of the news page connected to Allthings, character limits apply to the title and text of a post (by default 50 characters for the title and 150 characters for the text). If the limit is exceeded, the post is not shown on the screen and the person who created it receives an email notification.
- Number of posts shown at once: Only a limited number of posts is shown on each screen at the same time. A new post replaces one that is already displayed.
- Scheduled posts: There must be a short interval between two scheduled posts for the same screens. Otherwise, the later post is not shown and the person who created it receives an email asking them to adjust the time.
