Get started with Dormakaba Oracode Locks
Learn how to connect and control your Dormakaba Oracode 480 and 660 locks with the Seam API.
Dormakaba Locks
Seam provides a universal API to connect and control many brands of locks. This guide provides a rapid introduction to connecting and controlling your Dormakaba Oracode 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.
Note that Dormakaba offers multiple lines of products: Lyazon, Sapphire, Oracode, and more. This guide is specifically for Dormakaba Oracode.
Seam provides client libraries for many languages such as Javascript, Python, Ruby, and PHP, as well as a Postman collection and OpenAPI spec.

This guide uses a Sandbox Workspace. Only virtual devices can be connected. If you need to connect a real Oracode device, use a non-sandbox workspace and API key.
To control your Dormakaba Oracode locks via the Seam API, you must first authorize your Seam workspace against your Dormakaba Oracode account. To do so, Seam provides Connect Webviews: pre-built UX flows that walk you through authorizing your application to control Oracode locks.
To start, contact Dormakaba Oracode support to request a Live Services API token. This token will then be provided to Seam to connect your account.
Note that of this writing, obtaining a Dormakaba Oracode Live Services API token is a manual process. We are working with Dormakaba to automate this and simplify onboarding of devices.
Python
Javascript
Ruby
PHP
from seamapi import Seam
seam = Seam()
webview = seam.connect_webviews.create(accepted_providers=["dormakaba_oracode"])
assert webview.login_successful is False
# Send the webview URL to your user
print(webview.url)
import Seam from 'seamapi'
const seam = new Seam()
const { connect_webview: connectWebview } = await seam.connectWebviews.create({
accepted_providers: ['dormakaba_oracode'],
})
console.log(connectWebview.login_successful) // false
// Send the webview URL to your user
console.log(connectWebview.url)
require 'seamapi'
seam = Seam::Client.new(api_key: 'MY_API_KEY')
webview = seam.connect_webviews.create(accepted_providers: %w[dormakaba_oracode])
puts webview.login_successful # false
# Send the webview URL to your user
puts webview.url
use Seam\SeamClient;
$seam = new SeamClient("YOUR_API_KEY");
$webview = $seam->connect_webviews->create(
accepted_providers: ["dormakaba_oracode"]
);
Navigate to the URL returned by the Webview object. Since you are using a sandbox workspace, complete the login flow by entering the Dormakaba Oracode sandbox test accounts credentials below:
- username: jane
- password: 1234
- api-token: 123456
Seam Connect Webview flow to connect Dormakaba Oracode account with Seam
Confirm the Connect Webview was successful by querying its status:
Python
Javascript
Ruby
PHP
updated_webview = seam.connect_webviews.get(webview.connect_webview_id)
assert updated_webview.login_successful # true
const updatedWebview = await seam.connectWebviews.get(
connectWebview.connect_webview_id,
)
console.log(updatedWebview.login_successful) // true
updated_webview = seam.connect_webviews.get(webview.connect_webview_id)
puts updated_webview.login_successful # true
$webview = $seam->connect_webviews->get('729847ff-98e0-418d-aeba-1e3cb38157c6');
assert($webview->status == 'pending');
After a Dormakaba Oracode account is linked with Seam, you can retrieve its devices.
Python
Javascript
Ruby
PHP
all_locks = seam.locks.list()
some_lock = all_locks[0]
assert some_lock.properties["battery_level"] is True
print(some_lock)
const allLocks = await seam.locks.list()
const someLock = allLocks[0]
console.log(someLock.properties.battery_level)
console.log(someLock)
some_lock = seam.locks.list.first
puts some_lock.properties['battery_level']
puts some_lock
use Seam\SeamClient;
$seam = new SeamClient('YOUR_API_KEY');
$locks = $seam->locks->list();
echo json_encode($locks);
*/
The Seam API lets you create access codes on Dormakaba Oracode devices such as the 480i and 660i locks. These codes can then be entered to unlock the door. You can find out more info about how Seam access codes in our core concept section on access codes.
Dormakaba Oracode does not let you specify a code for an access code. Instead it auto-generates a 6-digit code, which the Seam API returns. If you try to pass the code argument to the access code create function, the Seam API will return an error.

Now that you've completed this guide, you can try to connect a real Dormakaba Oracode 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.
