Overview

This guide walks you through connecting your Omnitec hotel locks to Seam. The integration works through the Omnitec Rent&Pass Gateway, so your locks must already be online and visible in the Rent&Pass app before proceeding.

Step 1: Locate Your Integrator Credentials

The credentials used for the Seam integration are not the same as the login email and password used to access the Rent&Pass app. To find your integrator credentials:
  1. Open the Omnitec Rent&Pass app.
  2. Navigate to the Integrator Credentials section.
  3. Note the Username and Password displayed there.
If the “Integrator Credentials” section is not visible in your Rent&Pass app, contact Omnitec support to have it enabled on your account.

Step 2: Connect to Seam via Connect Webview

  1. Open the Connect Webview provided by your application.
  2. Select Omnitec as the provider.
  3. Enter the Integrator Credentials from the Rent&Pass app (not your regular app login).
  4. Once authorized, your Omnitec locks appear as devices in Seam. Locks without a gateway connection can appear as offline devices.

Step 3: Verify the Connection

After connecting, check each lock’s connectivity and capabilities. Remote lock/unlock commands require a reachable Rent&Pass gateway. Online access codes also require a keypad. A lock that has never been reachable through a gateway has no remote lock or online-code capabilities and shows a hub_required_for_additional_capabilities warning. A previously reachable lock can retain its capabilities while offline, so check its online status before sending a command.

Troubleshooting

Authorization fails in Connect Webview

Make sure you are using the Integrator Credentials from the Rent&Pass app, not your regular app login email and password. These are different credentials. If the “Integrator Credentials” section is not visible in the app, contact Omnitec support.

Locks not appearing after authorization

Confirm that the locks belong to the Rent&Pass account you authorized. A gateway connection controls whether Seam can send commands; it does not determine whether a lock appears in Seam.

Lock shows as offline

Check that the lock is within range of the gateway and that the gateway’s Wi-Fi connection is active. Re-pair the lock with the gateway if necessary.

Gateway connection issues

Verify that the gateway’s Wi-Fi network has internet access. The gateway needs to reach Omnitec’s cloud servers to relay commands from Seam.
