The current version of Community Boss's integration with RemoteLock hardware / software has some workaround solutions for more complex access needs.
This article is going to focus on the need to temporarily close / restrict access to a space that is controlled by RemoteLock hardware that is integrated with Community Boss / Amenity Boss.
Some configuration will always have to happen on the native dashboard for RemoteLock. This is where you add and manage the physical devices (locks, keypads), and set some initial configuration to get the integration up and running.
The basic integration and functions are 'set and forget', but sometimes you'll need to adjust settings here as you go.
When you added the RemoteLock integration to your Community Boss account, you were emailed access instructions to login to the RemoteLock dashboard.
Temporary Amenity Restriction
The Boss Tags that residents use to unlock RemoteLock hardware use NFC technology. The quickest and easiest way to block use of those tags, only allowing admin PINs to unlock a device, is to disable NFC scanning for the lock itself.
Start on the RemoteLock dashboard, then go to the Devices tab
Click on the name of the device you want to temporarily restrict
Select Settings from the left-hand menu
Set NFC Modes of operation to Off
Click Save
This will prevent resident tags from being able to unlock the lock, but retains the use of admin / site manager PINs.
If your RemoteLock device has a key, that can always be a fallback override for manager access.
When your closure is complete, you can turn the setting back to Always Scanning for Cards. This will ensure the resident tags may be used again. Remember to click Save after changing settings.
