Hospitality Automation use case

The problem

PMS and IoT rarely talk without brittle scripts. Nodlyn templates cover check-in/out, no-show, and guest welcome without custom middleware.

Who it’s for: Boutique hotels, property managers, and integrators connecting PMS webhooks to room devices.

How Nodlyn approaches Hospitality Automation

Hospitality flows reuse IoT protocols for rooms while HTTP webhooks speak to PMS or booking tools. Built-in hospitality-oriented templates cover check-in comfort, welcome messaging, no-shows, and leak/energy alerts.

Properties stay local-first: devices and credentials remain on-site; Cloud is for monitoring agents during busy check-in windows, not for uploading the guest database.

Example workflows

• Check-in webhook → set thermostat / unlock → welcome email with Wi-Fi
• No-show window → notify ops + optional lock reset
• Water leak / energy anomaly sensor → alert front desk

Quick start

1. Connect PMS or booking webhooks via HTTP Trigger.
2. Use Hospitality templates (#50–56 style flows) for check-in, welcome, leak, stay report.
3. Bind Matter/Z-Wave/MQTT room devices through Discovery when available.
4. Monitor agent heartbeats in Cloud during peak check-in hours.

Can hospitality flows talk to a PMS?

Yes via HTTP webhooks/triggers into check-in, welcome, no-show, and leak templates, while room devices use Matter/Z-Wave/MQTT on-site.
