Smart locks and access control

When the item's door code mode is New code for every booking, Bookora creates a six-digit code for each confirmed booking and sends it to the locks of the location. The code is valid during the booking plus the margin set in settings (15 minutes by default). Moving the booking updates the code and cancelling removes it from the lock.

Compatible locks

• Seam: one integration for over 100 lock brands, for example Yale and August, Nuki, igloohome, TTLock, Salto KS, Schlage, Kwikset and Lockly. See Seam's website for the current list. You need a Seam account and the lock's device_id.
• Nuki (direct): Nuki Smart Lock and Nuki Keypad with Nuki Web enabled. The keypad stores a limited number of codes, so it works best with per-booking codes.
• TTLock (direct): code locks and keypads that work with the TTLock app and have a TTLock gateway. Without a gateway, codes cannot be sent remotely.
• igloohome (direct): the lock produces its own algoPIN code for the booking, which works without a network connection. Bookora sends the lock's code to the customer.
• Shelly relay (e.g. Shelly Plus 1 or Shelly 1 Gen3) for an electric strike or door buzzer: the customer opens the door with their phone during the booking, and staff can open it remotely.
• Keypads and readers that can make an HTTP request (e.g. IP door stations, Wiegand readers through a controller): the device asks Bookora whether the code opens the door. A Shelly relay can be linked to the keypad so that Bookora opens the door itself.
• Other access control systems (e.g. Salto, iLOQ, Accessy, Parakey): the webhook integration sends code created, updated, deleted and door open events to a system connected by the supplier or an integrator.

Setup

1. 1Set the item's door code mode to New code for every booking and link the item to a location.
2. 2Open Access control and add a door: name, lock type, location and the lock credentials.
3. 3Press Test connection. If the lock can be opened remotely, also try Open door now.
4. 4If you already have upcoming bookings, press Resend codes to send their codes to the lock.

Monitoring

The access control page shows the codes sent to locks and their status, the lock's last successful connection and any error, and the entry log. If a lock does not respond, Bookora retries automatically, and the customer still gets the code in the confirmation.
