4 Connection

The Connection of the Door Lock System with OPERA Cloud PMS for handling guest room key requests from the PMS does not directly work with the Oracle Hospitality Integration Platform (OHIP). It is instead done through a direct connection to the Door Lock system using the OPERA Cloud Outbound System Service.

This image shows a diagram of the room keys outbound workflow.

For the proper connection configuration, the door lock system partner must provide the following to the customer:

  • API Base URL path to connect with the external Door Lock system, for example: 'https://doorlockhost.com/v1'.
  • Authentication type for a secure connection (will be sent with every API request).
  • Optional access areas that can be set in OPERA Cloud per Key.
  • The ID of the Key Encoder devices. OPERA Cloud sends this Id with a request to create a room key.
