This guide provides a rapid introduction to connecting and controlling your [Tedee](https://www.seam.co/manufacturers/tedee) locks using the Seam API. To learn more about other device brands supported by the Seam API, such as Yale, Schlage, and August, head over to our [integration page](https://www.seam.co/supported-devices-and-systems). For more details about the Seam Tedee integration, see the [Tedee locks device integration guide](./). ## 1 — Install Seam SDK Seam provides client libraries for many languages, such as JavaScript, Python, Ruby, PHP, and others, as well as a Postman collection and [OpenAPI](https://connect.getseam.com/openapi.json) spec. * JavaScript / TypeScript ([npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/seam), [GitHub](https://github.com/seamapi/javascript)) * Python ([pip](https://pypi.org/project/seam/), [GitHub](https://github.com/seamapi/python)) * Ruby Gem ([rubygem](https://rubygems.org/gems/seam), [GitHub](https://github.com/seamapi/ruby)) * PHP ([packagist](https://packagist.org/packages/seamapi/seam), [GitHub](https://github.com/seamapi/php)) * C# ([nuget](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Seam), [GitHub](https://github.com/seamapi/csharp)) ```bash theme={null} npm i seam ``` ```bash theme={null} pip install seam # For some development environments, use pip3 in this command instead of pip. ``` ```bash theme={null} bundle add seam ``` ```bash theme={null} composer require seamapi/seam ``` Install using [nuget](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Seam). Once installed, [sign up for Seam](https://console.seam.co/) to get your [API key](/core-concepts/authentication/api-keys) and export it as an environment variable. ``` $ export SEAM_API_KEY=seam_test2ZTo_0mEYQW2TvNDCxG5Atpj85Ffw ``` This guide uses a [sandbox workspace](/core-concepts/workspaces#sandbox-workspaces). You can only connect virtual devices in a sandbox workspace. If you need to connect a real Tedee device, use a non-sandbox workspace and API key. ## 2 — Link Your Tedee Account with Seam To control your Tedee locks using the Seam API, you must first authorize your Seam workspace against your Tedee account. To do so, Seam provides[ Connect Webviews](/core-concepts/connect-webviews): pre-built UX flows that walk you through authorizing your application to control your Tedee sites. ### Request a Connect Webview ```javascript JavaScript theme={null} // Use Seam SDK to create a Connect Webview with tedee as the provider const createdConnectWebview = await seam.connectWebviews.create({ accepted_providers: ["tedee"] }); // Print the created webview URL console.log(createdConnectWebview.url); ``` ```python Python theme={null} # Create a Connect Webview with tedee as the provider created_webview = seam.connect_webviews.create(accepted_providers=["tedee"]) # Assert that login is not yet successful assert created_webview.login_successful is False # Print the URL of the webview print(created_webview.url) ``` ```ruby Ruby theme={null} # Create a Connect Webview with the tedee as the provider created_webview = seam.connect_webviews.create(accepted_providers: ["tedee"]) # The webview will not be logged in, which can be confirmed raise 'Login should not be succesful' unless !created_webview.login_successful # Retrieve and print out the url of the webview puts created_webview.url ``` ```php PHP theme={null} connect_webviews->create([ 'accepted_providers' => ['tedee'] ]); // check if the login was successful assert($connect_webview->login_successful === false); // print the connect webview URL print($connect_webview->url); ?> ``` ### Authorize Your Workspace Navigate to the URL returned by the Webview object. Since you are using a sandbox workspace, complete the login flow by entering the Tedee [sandbox test accounts ](./sandbox-tedee-locks)credentials below: * **email:** [jane@example.com](mailto:jane@example.com) * **password:** 1234 Confirm the Connect Webview was successful by querying its status: ```javascript JavaScript theme={null} const updatedWebview = await seam.connectWebviews.get( connectWebview.connect_webview_id ) console.log(updatedWebview.login_successful) // true ``` ```python Python theme={null} updated_webview = seam.connect_webviews.get(connect_webview_id: webview.connect_webview_id) assert updated_webview.login_successful # true ``` ```ruby Ruby theme={null} updated_webview = seam.connect_webviews.get(connect_webview_id: webview.connect_webview_id) puts updated_webview.login_successful # true ``` ```php PHP theme={null} $webview = $seam->connect_webviews->get($webview->id); echo json_encode($webview); ``` ## 3 — Retrieve Tedee Devices After a Tedee account is linked with Seam, you can retrieve devices for this Tedee account. The Seam API exposes most of the device's properties such as battery level. ```javascript JavaScript theme={null} const allLocks = await seam.locks.list() const someLock = allLocks[0] console.log(someLock.properties.online) // true console.log(someLock.properties.locked) // true console.log(someLock) /_ { device_id: 'ffc4d67f-e3a6-4ef8-ac84-f3770750422a', device_type: 'tedee_lock', capabilities_supported: [ 'access_code', 'battery', 'lock' ], properties: { locked: true, online: true, manufacturer: 'tedee', battery_level: 1, tedee_metadata: { bridge_id: 1, device_id: 1, bridge_name: "Jane's Bridge", device_name: 'Front Door', device_model: 'Lock PRO', serial_number: '111111-11111' }, supported_code_lengths: [ 5, 6, 7, 8 ], online_access_codes_enabled: true, offline_access_codes_enabled: true, supports_offline_access_codes: true, name: 'Front Door', model: { display_name: 'Lock PRO', manufacturer_display_name: 'Tedee', accessory_keypad_supported: false, offline_access_codes_supported: false, online_access_codes_supported: true }, battery: { level: 1, status: 'full' }, image_url: 'https://connect.getseam.com/assets/images/devices/unknown-lock.png', image_alt_text: 'Placeholder Lock Image', code_constraints: [ [Object], [Object] ], supports_backup_access_code_pool: true }, location: null, connected_account_id: 'f1e093d9-7a11-4d04-8c7e-619a037bd11a', workspace_id: '398d80b7-3f96-47c2-b85a-6f8ba21d07be', created_at: '2024-02-08T19:47:43.810Z', errors: [], warnings: [], is_managed: true, custom_metadata: {} } _/ ``` ```python Python theme={null} all_locks = seam.locks.list() some_lock = all_locks[0] assert some_lock.properties["online"] is True assert some_lock.properties["battery_level"] is True print(some_lock) # Device(device_id='ffc4d67f-e3a6-4ef8-ac84-f3770750422a', device_type='tedee_lock', location=None, properties={'locked': True, 'online': True, 'manufacturer': 'tedee', 'battery_level': 1, 'tedee_metadata': {'bridge_id': 1, 'device_id': 1, 'bridge_name': "Jane's Bridge", 'device_name': 'Front Door', 'device_model': 'Lock PRO', 'serial_number': '111111-11111'}, 'supported_code_lengths': [5, 6, 7, 8], 'online_access_codes_enabled': True, 'offline_access_codes_enabled': True, 'supports_offline_access_codes': True, 'name': 'Front Door', 'model': {'display_name': 'Lock PRO', 'manufacturer_display_name': 'Tedee', 'accessory_keypad_supported': False, 'offline_access_codes_supported': False, 'online_access_codes_supported': True}, 'battery': {'level': 1, 'status': 'full'}, 'image_url': 'https://connect.getseam.com/assets/images/devices/unknown-lock.png', 'image_alt_text': 'Placeholder Lock Image', 'code_constraints': [{'constraint_type': 'no_ascending_or_descending_sequence'}, {'constraint_type': 'at_least_three_unique_digits'}], 'supports_backup_access_code_pool': True}, capabilities_supported=['access_code', 'battery', 'lock'], errors=[], warnings=[], connected_account_id='f1e093d9-7a11-4d04-8c7e-619a037bd11a', workspace_id='398d80b7-3f96-47c2-b85a-6f8ba21d07be', created_at='2024-02-08T19:47:43.810Z', is_managed=True) ``` ```ruby Ruby theme={null} some_lock = seam.locks.list.first puts some_lock.properties.online # true puts some_lock.properties.locked # true puts some_lock # true, "online"=>true, "manufacturer"=>"tedee", "battery_level"=>1, "tedee_metadata"=>{"bridge_id"=>1, "device_id"=>1, "bridge_name"=>"Jane's Bridge", "device_name"=>"Front Door", "device_model"=>"Lock PRO", "serial_number"=>"111111-11111"}, "supported_code_lengths"=>[5, 6, 7, 8], "online_access_codes_enabled"=>true, "offline_access_codes_enabled"=>true, "supports_offline_access_codes"=>true, "name"=>"Front Door", "model"=>{"display_name"=>"Lock PRO", "manufacturer_display_name"=>"Tedee", "accessory_keypad_supported"=>false, "offline_access_codes_supported"=>false, "online_access_codes_supported"=>true}, "battery"=>{"level"=>1, "status"=>"full"}, "image_url"=>"https://connect.getseam.com/assets/images/devices/unknown-lock.png", "image_alt_text"=>"Placeholder Lock Image", "code_constraints"=>[{"constraint_type"=>"no_ascending_or_descending_sequence"}, {"constraint_type"=>"at_least_three_unique_digits"}], "supports_backup_access_code_pool"=>true} # connected_account_id="f1e093d9-7a11-4d04-8c7e-619a037bd11a" # workspace_id="398d80b7-3f96-47c2-b85a-6f8ba21d07be" # created_at=2024-02-08 19:47:43.81 UTC # errors=[] # warnings=[] # is_managed=true> ``` ```php PHP theme={null} use Seam\SeamClient;

``` ### 5 — Setting Access Code on Tedee Lock Some Tedee locks also have a keypad paired to them to program access codes. These codes can then be entered to unlock a Tedee lock. The Seam API makes it easy to program both `ongoing` codes and `timebound` codes on a Tedee lock. You can find out more about Tedee lock access code in our [core concept section on access codes.](/low-level-apis/smart-locks/access-codes) For Tedee-specific access code restrictions, see [Access (PIN) Code Requirements](/device-and-system-integration-guides/tedee-locks#brand-specific-access-pin-code-requirements). ```javascript JavaScript theme={null} // create an ongoing code await seam.accessCodes.create({ device_id: someLock.device_id, code: "123456", name: "Personal Access Code", }) // create a timebound code await seam.accessCodes.create({ device_id: someLock.device_id, code: "888888", name: "My Temp Access Code", starts_at: "2028-11-12T19:23:42+0000", ends_at: "2028-11-13T19:23:42+0000", }) // use a device_id as the "device_id" parameter await seam.accessCodes.list({ device_id: someLock.device_id, }) ``` ```python Python theme={null} # create an ongoing code seam.access_codes.create( device=some_lock, code="492332", name="Personal Access Code") # create a timebound code seam.access_codes.create( device=some_lock, code="498882", name="My Temp Access Code", starts_at="2028-08-12T19:23:42+0000", ends_at="2028-08-13T19:23:42+0000") # you can use a device or a device_id as the "device" parameter seam.access_codes.list(device=some_lock) ``` ```ruby Ruby theme={null} # create an ongoing code seam.access_codes.create( device_id: some_lock.device_id, code: '123456', name: 'Personal Access Code' ) # create a timebound code seam.access_codes.create( device_id: some_lock.device_id, code: '888888', name: 'My Temp Access Code', starts_at: '2028-08-12T19:23:42+0000', ends_at: '2028-08-13T19:23:42+0000' ) seam.access_codes.list(device_id: some_lock.device_id) ``` ```php PHP theme={null} use Seam\SeamClient; $seam = new SeamClient("YOUR_API_KEY"); $some_lock = $seam->locks->list()[0]; $seam->access_codes->create( device_id: $some_lock->device_id, code: '123456', name: 'Personal Access Code' ); $seam->access_codes->create( device_id: $some_lock->device_id, name: 'My Temp Access Code', code: '888888', starts_at: '2028-08-12T19:23:42+0000', ends_at: '2028-08-13T19:23:42+0000' ); ``` ## Next Steps Now that you've completed this guide, you can try to connect a real Tedee device. To do so, make sure to switch to a non-sandbox workspace and API key as real devices cannot be connected to sandbox workspaces.
