= How it works =
Bookings get sent to the locks at the set time prior to check-in. A booking info code named LOCKSTATE_PIN is created which will show the pin number valid for the booking.
 
You can change the pin manually in the LOCKSTATE_PIN booking info code and the new pin will be sent to the lock at the next update.
 
To force no pin to be sent for a booking, change the value of the LOCKSTATE_PIN booking info item to none, (i.e. the word "none")
 
Updates are sent multiple times per day and send bookings for the selected days in advance. To instantly push updates through click "Send Data to Lockstate".
 
If the dates of the booking have been changed or the booking has been moved to a different room those details will be sent to the locks.
 
If bookings are cancelled we delete the guest out of LOCKSTATE. This will remove the access.
 
==Custom Start and End access times ==
 
The access start and end times can be customized per booking using booking info codes.
 
A booking info code '''ACCESS_STARTTIME''' with a time of day (23:59 format) as the text will override the default start time.
 
A booking info code '''ACCESS_ENDTIME''' with a time of day (23:59 format) as the text will override the default end time.
 
Start and end dates can be set relative to the check in and check out date by defining times greater than 24 or negative.
 
For example ACCESS_ENDTIME = 34:00 would create an end time of 10:00 one day after checkout (34 = 24 + 10 hours)
 
ACCESS_STARTTIME = -10:00 would create a start time 10 hours before midnight of the check in day, i.e. 14:00 on the day before check in.
 
If booking info codes are not used to set the time, the property default is used when creating the access, in this case if the time of day is changed in remotelock, it will not be overridden unless a date change is required.
If ==Communication with guests ==The Email address of the guest is sent to Remotelock. You can set up Remotelock to automatically send Emails to the guest. Alternatively you have a common lock for multiple units can create an Auto Action in {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) GUEST MANAGEMENT > AUTO ACTIONS.
