TTLock Connection Guide with Mangobeds
2 min read
TTLock is a smart lock platform that supports a wide range of Bluetooth and Wi-Fi enabled locks. TTLock smart locks are widely available on Amazon and other retailers, making them a cost-effective smart key solution for properties of any size.
Once connected, Mangobeds can:
- Fetch your lock inventory automatically
- Generate time-limited digital keys for guest stays
- Push keys directly to locks via gateway (no manual entry)
- Revoke keys on checkout or cancellation
- Keep keys in sync with booking date changes
A TTLock gateway is required for the lock to be remotely managed (creating, modifying, and revoking codes from Mangobeds). Locks without a gateway can be linked but the integration won’t be able to push codes to them automatically.
Setting It Up
Step 1: Open the Smart Locks App
In your Mangobeds dashboard, go to Apps and select Smart Locks.
Step 2: Connect
Click Get Started and select TTLock as your provider. Enter your TTLock account credentials:
- Username — your TTLock account email
- Password — your TTLock account password
Click Connect. Mangobeds will authenticate with TTLock and fetch your lock inventory.
Step 3: Link Units to Locks
You’ll see a list of all your units. For each unit, select a lock from the dropdown (pulled from your TTLock account) and click Link.
When linking, any existing passcodes for that lock are automatically imported into Mangobeds.
Step 4: Let Mangobeds Do the Rest
That’s it. From here on, Mangobeds creates a code about 48 hours before each guest’s check-in and revokes it on cancellation.
You can still create a passcode manually from the Passcodes panel at any time — e.g. for a maintenance visit or an off-booking access.
Managing Keys
Editing a key: Click Edit to change check-in or checkout dates. The key validity is updated on the TTLock system automatically.
Revoking a key: Click Revoke to delete the key. The code is removed from the lock immediately. The guest can no longer use it.
Lock details: Click Details to see the battery level and gateway connection status in real time.
Requirements
- A TTLock-compatible smart lock (Bluetooth + Wi-Fi gateway, or Wi-Fi-native)
- A TTLock gateway for the lock you want to manage from Mangobeds
- The TTLock app, with your locks already added to your account
- TTLock V3 locks with passcode algorithm version 4 or higher (older models can’t be remotely managed)
Every lock, in one place
Access codes work the same way whatever lock you use: Mangobeds creates them a couple of days before check-in, makes them valid from before check-in until after check-out, and sends them to the guest with the {{ACCESS_CODES}} variable in any communication.
