Abstract: Various embodiments are directed to systems and methods for configuring a hospitality environment. A control module located in the hospitality environment may receive an instructional signal from a control device based on user input corresponding to a desired connected device status. The control module may transmit a corresponding instructional signal to one or more connected devices. The control module may receive instructional signals from one of a personal control device or a local control device located in the hospitality environment, as well as an enterprise control entity, each of which may be used interchangeably and independently to control at least one connected device according to a user's preferences. The control module utilizes an event-driven architecture to facilitate the execution of both an internet of things control functionality and a content delivery functionality. Various embodiments are directed to systems and methods for configuring a plurality of hospitality environments.

Abstract: Some embodiments comprises methods of providing a guest with security credentials to gain access to a guest room, the methods comprise: identifying a user; identifying a guest room of multiple guests rooms at a property and with which the user is intended to occupy; acquiring a first security credential intended to be validated by a door lock system of a door to the identified guest room; and causing the first security credentials to be communicated, over a distributed network, to a portable consumer electronic user device associated with the user to be stored on the user device such that the user device is configured to wirelessly communicate the first security credential to the door lock system to gain access to the guest room.
