Assa Abloy Vostio - multiroom access

Question

HeyaI am wondering if anyone knows how to map connecting rooms in the Assa Abloy Vostio key cutter, such that the keys you punch out opens both rooms in a connecting room set-up.Example - Room 5 + 6 can be made to a connecting room “5+6”. Room “5+6” is the parent room for room 5 as well as room 6. When a client is staying in room 5 or room 6,  it is possible to punch individual keys for them. However when the reservation is assigned room “5+6” the key cutter cannot figure out how to make a key, which will access both room 5 & room 6.Thanks for your feedback.Nikolas

Hello!We have switched to Vostio only last week, so my experience is limited. I believe it could be possible, if a “virutal” room is setup on the vostio side, which enables access to both rooms. Then you could map the PMS to the vostio virtual room number. But I don’t really know how to set it up in vostio - available documentation is limited and the system is not entirely self explaining ;-). I just know that we do have a virtual room that we use to give access to a common door (sauna) for external guests, but in theory this could work for your use case, too. You have to ask your Assa Abloy implementation partner to get a definitive answer.Alternatively, you could use the vostio system (web app) directly to encode a card that locks both doors manually (just select both rooms for encoding the card in the vostio interface) - I believe you can encode up to 8 rooms on one key card. However your staff needs to have access to the vostio system in that case.Keep us posted in case you get it working! I would be interested, too...Good luck & kind regards,JP.

Thanks JP.The virtual room is created…. but Vostio cannot figure out how to allocate 2 locks to this room, and thereby give access.Documentation is sparse.I am in dialog with Assa & they are looking into it.Nikolas
