dormakaba BlueSky Access
dormakaba BlueSky Access is a cloud-based mobile access key delivery system available for hotels and multifamily housing, student housing, market-rate apartments and senior living properties. It merges security and convenience for the mobile minded traveler or dweller in order to enhance the access experience.
The delivery of a key to a mobile device (phone, tablet) is enabled via LEGIC Connect, a service that operates in a highly-secure and scalable data center.
Once notification has been received and the BlueSky Access app has been installed, the mobile access key is sent to the app on that mobile device, allowing entry to those doors or areas access to which authorization has been given.
The BlueSky Access app is available for use only in properties equipped with dormakaba contactless electronic locks that have been equipped with a dormakaba Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) radio antenna.
Hotels
With the BlueSky Access app on a mobile device, guests can bypass the front desk check-in process and go directly to their room as well as gaining access to any authorized common area in the hotel requiring a room key.
Residence
With the BlueSky Access app on a mobile device, residents can securely lock and unlock unit doors and other amenity areas within a property to which authorization to enter has been given.

Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) technology enables the issuance and management of secure mobile access keys for hotels, multihousing, student and senior living properties. dormakaba’s latest RFID door locks and other access controls are BlueSky Access enabled. They can be installed on a variety of door types and locations giving properties a flexible, secure choice of entry options.
BLE-enabled door locks and access controls allow an authorized user to place a compatible mobile device (smartphone, tablet) with the BlueSky Access app near a corresponding sensor on the door lock. The sensor reads the BlueSky Access key, the lock system communicates with the property management network, and determines whether the unique, encrypted code conveyed by the phone is on an approved "pass" list. If so, access is allowed, and the entry is recorded for audit purposes.

The app works very well. Those saying that it shows no valid key, probably haven't had one sent to them from the property management. The new version even has capability for visitor management and looks better than the original.
Pretty cool app. I didn't have to punch in a code to use it. I couldn't figure it out at first but it turns out you have to hold your phone against the lock after hitting the key icon, and it takes like 1.5 seconds. If you think you'll ever forget your keys inside, I suggest just having the app for backup.
Convenience is a great idea, but execution is poor. This app takes forever to open the door ! I'd just prefer a regular key. This app needs some fixing to be faster, otherwise it's just annoying.
The app requires you to have 3 characters minimum when entering your last name. My surname is literally only 2 letters, and I'm sure there's lots of others in the same boat. This is ridiculous! I was able to bypass it by adding a space after, but then it says I don't have any valid keys. Are you kidding me?
We were told this app would be Guest Friendly so we could give pet sitters, family and others access to our place. It's NOT and now they want to charge $75 for an extra keyfob that cost less than $10. BOOOOOOOO :(
One of the worst performing apps that I have ever used if not the worst. It takes forever to open a door/gate. If possible I would've rated it 0☆.
It doesn't work on my galaxy s9. Keeps saying no valid key available. I dont understand the point of this
I followed the steps and received "No valaid key available" response even after I refreshed.
Easy to use, fast and effective
Is not working on android. Is not asking for bluetooth permission
Awesome app. More motels should use it
This app does not work whatsoever. Whether it's the fault of the app developers or dormakaba's own training provided to management companies makes no difference to the end users. Useless.
Does this app even work? It NEVER opens my lock, ever.
The worst experience in the world
No information of how to use the app or how it works, nor witch lockers are compatible and how to store your own locker. Terrible app.
This app is absolute trash. Having to punch in a four digit code then confirm before you can unlock your door is absolutely ridiculous. This app does nothing well. There are no settings to change. At least the previous iteration would read a fingerprint. This newest version of the app is terrible.
