= Limitations =
For Resortlock an Igloohome the PIN is created by the lock so you can not use a custom PIN.
= Set Up =
 
*Click on "Connect to Lockstate".
*Authorize Beds24 to access your account
 
One Beds24 account can connect to one Remotelock account, if you have multiple Remotelock accounts use a Beds24 sub account for each.
When successfully connected you will see the Remotelock account you are connected to.
If you have a common lock for multiple units you can enter the same lock serial number for each unit.
<span style="color:#fe746c;“ >{{#fas:exclamation-triangle}} </span> Lockstate Remotelock uses several servers. If you are not redirected back to Beds24 send us a support ticket via the SUPPORT button in the top left of your Beds24 control panel.
<span style="color: #f3e504; font-size: 150%;" >{{#fas:lightbulb}} </span> One Beds24 account connects with one Remotelock accountsaccount. If you have multiple Remotelock accounts, create sub accounts for each ensure the sub account 'owns' the property, not just has access to the respective properties in Beds24.
= How it works =
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.
==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 can create an Auto Action in {{#fas:cog}} (SETTINGS) GUEST MANAGEMENT > AUTO ACTIONS. A template is available which you can further customize. Use the context help (?Icons) in the Auto Action and on the help page (click on HELP in the top right menu) for further instructions.
The template variable for the pin is [BOOKINGINFOCODETEXT:LOCKSTATE_PIN].
1) Add a Webhook Notification Contact in Remotelock
the URL of the webhook must contain your the Beds24 ownerId account Id number that owns the property at the end like ?ownerid=12345
https://api.beds24.com/lockstate.com/notify.php?ownerid=<Your Beds24 owner ID>
= Common Problems =
Lockstate Remotelock have two types of access: users and guests. Bookings from Beds24 create guests.  '''Pin-Code does not match the 'PIN Strategy' ''' The pin code has been previously used in another booking for this room. The pin-code needs to be unique.  '''Pin codes are not being generated''' "Cannot create resource, 90 days per access guest is the limit for your billing plan","type":"billing_plan_resource_limit_reached Check your contract type in Remotelocks to ensure your bookings meet the contract details.
