dormakaba Community

dormakaba’s Community access management software is a time and resource-saving multiplatform solution for multi-housing operations. Accessed remotely from a computer or mobile device connected to your property’s network, Community let’s you and your property managers configure profiles for residents, staff, and vendors, as well as their access credentials without having to physically visit a lock. For example, program scheduled permissions for staff so they can only access areas during their working shift, or create custom vendor credentials to only allow access to certain residences a specific number of times, for deliveries and other services.

View, print and download audit reports to see which property keys and access points are being used and when. Lock and user information history reports can then be used to identify a breach in the event of a theft or other crime. Build and manage your property through Community by defining buildings, floors and elevators and their access points such as common areas, meeting rooms, laundry rooms, etc. and categorize them for quick identification. Integrates with existing energy management systems, resident portal apps, hotel reservation software and more for complete property control.

BlueSky Access

BlueSky Access is available for operators with limited resources to develop an app or those who simply want to evaluate our mobile access solution. BlueSky Access app is available to download on both iOS and Android smart devices and can be deployed across any property to create a simplified guest experience, while also streamlining hotel operations.

Capable of being deployed across multiple properties
Ilco/Saflok BLE enabled RFID locks seamlessly integrated
Flexible, scalable and sustainable with comprehensive service and support programs
Technical Data
The BlueSky app includes dormakaba’s SDK (Software Development Kit), developed and secured by LEGIC Connect, renowned globally for highly-secure communication and identification.

Functionality
Ilco and Saflok Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) enabled RFID locks allow access to authorized users simply by placing their mobile device with the BlueSky app near the RFID reader. The BLE module reads the BlueSky access key, communicates with the property management network, and determines whether the unique, encrypted code conveyed by the mobile device is on an approved “pass” list. Once confirmed, access is allowed, and the event is recorded for audit purposes.

Components
dormakaba’s Ilco and Saflok Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) enabled electronic locks are the foundation for the transition to BlueSky mobile access.

Applications
Once the BlueSky app has been downloaded, guests are able to receive their room key on their smart device allowing access to authorized areas throughout the hotel property: guestrooms, perimeter access points and common areas. Upon arrival, they can bypass the front desk and go straight to their room.
