More on Mobile Keys
How HotelBuddy Mobile Keys Work
HotelBuddy has developed its own specialized IoT door lock modules designed for quick installation on any electronic door lock. These modules create a secure communication between the lock and our system via an IoT Access Point, controlled by an IoT controller. If you already have online locks with functionality that allows them to be opened through an API, we can open them without adding our IoT chips to the locks.
In both cases guests can smoothly unlock their rooms using HotelBuddy's browser-based app on their mobile phones—no downloads needed.

Your Locks, Our Technology: Integrating HotelBuddy Mobile Keys
HotelBuddy solution allows for the concurrent use of digital Mobile Keys and traditional plastic keycards, giving your guests the freedom to choose their preferred way to access their rooms. Guests can also unlock corridor doors, fitness and spa entrances, or parking gates.
Installation involves the placement of small IoT chips into your existing door locks (no need to change the locks!). This takes just about 10 minutes per door and can be handled by our certified local IT partners or by your hotel's in-house technicians.
