Boolean
Indicates that the error is not a device error.
managed_access_code_id
String (UUID)

Array
List of fields that were changed externally, with their previous and new values.
unmanaged_access_code_id

Warnings

Each warning is an object with the following shape:
Example warning
{
  "warning_code": "provider_issue",
  "message": "Indicates a provider-specific issue that may affect the access code. Check the warning message for details.",
  "created_at": "2025-01-01T00:00:00.000Z"
}
warning_code
Enum (String)
Unique identifier of the type of warning. Enables quick recognition and categorization of the issue.One of the warning codes listed below.
message
String
Detailed description of the warning. Provides insights into the issue and potentially how to rectify it.
created_at
String (ISO 8601)
Date and time at which Seam created the warning.
change_type
Enum (String)
Indicates the type of external modification. modified means the code’s PIN or schedule was changed. removed means the code was deleted from the device.
modified_fields
Array
List of fields that were changed externally, with their previous and new values.

access_code_inactive

Indicates that the access code is disabled or inactive on the device. The code exists but will not grant access until re-enabled.

being_deleted

Access code is being deleted.

code_modified_external_to_seam

Code was modified or removed externally after Seam successfully set it on the device.

delay_in_removing_from_device

Delay in removing code from device.

delay_in_setting_on_device

igloo_algopin_must_be_used_within_24_hours

Algopins must be used within 24 hours.

management_transferred

Management was transferred to another workspace.

provider_issue

Indicates a provider-specific issue that may affect the access code. Check the warning message for details.

schlage_access_code_ambiguous_timezone_dst_risk

The Schlage device’s timezone is ambiguous and this code’s schedule crosses a daylight-saving transition in at least one plausible timezone. A 1-hour safety buffer has been applied to the side of the schedule affected by the transition (ends_at for spring-forward, starts_at for fall-back) so the code stays active through the shift — the code may be usable up to 1 hour beyond your requested window. Set the device’s timezone via /devices/report_provider_metadata to clear the buffer and guarantee exact DST handling.

schlage_detected_duplicate

Duplicate access code detected.

third_party_integration_detected

Third-party integration detected that may cause access codes to fail.

using_backup_access_code

A backup access code has been pulled and is being used in place of this access code.
