GuestKey by Hotek

Hotek - Virtual door keys is a innovative keyless and touchless solution allowing guests to access their rooms (and common spaces) with just a click using the unique Clock PMS+ MyBooking Portal through their own device. However, guests may still combine the virtual keys with a traditional key card just in case the device battery dies or it is out of reach.

Requirements

• Hotek GuestKey installed and configured;
• Hotek GuestKey Location ID -  You can obtain your Hotek GuestKey Location ID by sending an e-mail to maarten@hotek.nl and your Hotek support in CC and request your ref_id required for the communication of Clock PMS+ interface.
• Door keys add-on activated for your Clock PMS+ account

Configurations

• Once in Clock PMS+ navigate to Settings->AppConnector->locate GuestKey and activate it-> click button 'Settings' ->select Hotek GuestKey.

• Fill in your Hotek GuestKey Location ID and save -  You can obtain your Hotek GuestKey Location ID by sending an e-mail to maarten@hotek.nl and your Hotek support in CC and request your ref_id required for the communication of Clock PMS+ interface.

• After the initial sync is done the ROOM DOORS MAP and COMMON DOORS MAP should be done. For every room number or common door configured in ClockPMS+ you can add one or more Hotek GuestKey's doors/lock by simply clicking the card icon at the right.

  

How it works

• As soon as the booking is checked in (status = Checked-in) the Virtual Door Keys will appear automatically in Clock PMS+ MyBooking Portal where you can find all Hotek GuestKey's doors/lock associated with the booking's room and selected common doors
• After the check-out of the booking the Virtual Door Keys option is no longer available;

Specifics

• The process is completely automated and the staff doesn't have to do anything to activate/deactivate the key for the guest;
• When the period of a booking is changed, the Virtual key will follow;
• The names of the Hotek GuestKey's doors/lock are exposed in Clock PMS+ MyBooking Portal with exactly the same name;
• Before you can configure COMMON DOORS MAP you need to configure the Common door codes at Settings->All Settings->Room Key Settings->Common door codes.

• The virtual keys are functioning completely independently of the existing QR and Key Card options available for Hotek locks. Hence they can be combined so every guest may have a traditional key card coded separately, just in case their device battery dies or it is out of reach.
