Dormakaba Ambiance Access Control System

Guide for using the Dormakaba Ambiance Access Control System with Seam

---

Overview

Connect Dormakaba Ambiance to Seam to automate guest access with mobile keys, plastic cards, and Apple Wallet. Seam gives you one API to plug Ambiance into your PMS or hospitality platform.

Seam handles the full guest key lifecycle. It issues mobile, card, or wallet keys automatically and expires them at checkout to keep access secure.

When a reservation changes, Seam updates Ambiance in real time. Reservation updates flow straight to Ambiance, ensuring guests always get the key that matches their stay.

Before you begin

Follow the Dormkaba Ambiance Setup Guide to configure your Ambiance system settings and connect it to Seam.
