Hotel PMS and smart-lock integration

A successful integration begins with the operating workflow: reservations, identity, credentials, access events, expiry and support ownership.

Short answer: Identify the PMS, reservation events, user records, credential format, door groups, expiry rules and access-event callbacks. Then match that workflow to the lock platform's API, SDK, webhook or partner connector.

Define the handoff

  • Which PMS creates or changes the guest identity?
  • Where are mobile keys, PINs or cards generated?
  • How are check-in, check-out, extension and cancellation handled?
  • Which system owns audit events, offline fallback and first-line support?

Test the failure path

Include network loss, duplicate reservations, expired credentials, room moves, battery warnings and manual override. A logo-level compatibility claim does not answer these operational questions.
