Comydo is a digital access system for doors, gates and barriers that uses QR codes and licence plates as keys. With this integration, anny automates the matching access for bookings and community members. With Comydo you can do the following in anny:
  • Create time-limited QR code access for bookings
  • Link resources and communities with one or more Comydo device IDs
  • Extend the access before and after the booking with a buffer time
  • Open parking barriers by licence plate and, optionally, check in on the first scan and check out on the second scan
The integration is a particularly good fit for rooms, shared areas and car parks where access should work without a manual key handover.
Available from the Professional plan onwards.

Typical use cases

​
How the Comydo connection works

The setup consists of two parts. First you enter your auth key in anny, which you find in the Comydo admin app. anny then shows a webhook URL that you store in the Comydo admin area. After that, you define rules that link resources or communities with Comydo devices. For a matching booking, anny creates time-limited access and stores it itself: the booking ticket as a QR code or, for car parks, an encrypted check value of the licence plate. Customers receive the QR code in the anny app or booking confirmation. When someone scans at the Comydo device, Comydo queries anny via the webhook URL. anny checks the stored access permissions and replies whether the access is valid. So anny does not send any booking data or licence plates to Comydo, it confirms each scan individually. If the connection is deactivated or deleted, anny no longer confirms any access through Comydo.

​
Connect Comydo

​
Requirements

Before you connect Comydo, make sure that:
  • your Comydo account is set up and the required doors or barriers are created with their device IDs in the Comydo portal,
  • your resources or communities are set up in anny,
  • the Check-In function of the resource is activated for QR code access, because the booking ticket is scanned for entry,
  • for car park bookings you use a custom form field for the licence plate that is requested as a mandatory field,
  • you have your auth key from the Comydo admin app at hand.

​
Set up the connection

1

Enter the auth key

Open the Integrations from the menu bar and go to Comydo. Enter your auth key from the Comydo admin app and save it. anny then shows the webhook URL. Copy it and store it in the Comydo admin area so Comydo can confirm every scan with anny.
2

Configure

Create the rules you need:
  1. Click Add.
  2. Select a resource or community.
  3. Enter one or more device IDs of your Comydo devices.
  4. For booking rules, define Access before the booking and Access after the booking.
  5. For a car park rule, activate Licence plate recognition and select the Custom field for licence plate.
  6. If needed, activate Check in on the first scan and Check out on the second scan.
  7. Create a test booking and check the full access process.

As soon as the connection is active and a rule applies, anny automatically creates the matching access for new bookings or community members.
You can assign several Comydo devices in one rule. However, only one booking rule is possible per resource. You edit or delete existing rules via the three dots to the right of the rule.

​
Settings & options

​
Car park bookings and barriers

To open a barrier by licence plate, the booking, the licence plate field and the Comydo rule have to work together cleanly.
1

Capture the licence plate

Add a custom form field for the licence plate to the booking form of the car park resource and mark it as a mandatory field. If the field is not set as mandatory or is missing in a service of the resource, the rule cannot be saved.
2

Assign the field

Open the matching Comydo rule, activate Licence plate recognition and select the licence plate field under Custom field for licence plate. Only the assigned field is evaluated.
3

Choose the scan logic

If needed, activate Check in on the first scan and Check out on the second scan. Use these options if you want to record the actual usage time instead of only the planned booking time.
4

Test the process

Create a test booking with a licence plate. Check the entry and, if check-out is activated, the exit as well.
As soon as a licence plate matching the booking is scanned, anny confirms the access and the barrier can open. With the scan logic activated, anny checks the booking in on the first scan and out again on the second scan.

​
Check access in bookings

In the booking detail view, you see the related access permissions. Open an access permission to see the status, access period, device and creation date. Depending on the rule, it says Scan the booking ticket at the door or Your licence plate will be scanned.

​
Limitations

The Comydo integration does not support:
  • Automatic access without a matching rule between a resource or community and Comydo devices.
  • QR code access if the Check-In function of the resource is not activated.
  • Licence plate based entry if no mandatory licence plate field is requested in the booking form and assigned in the rule.
  • Reliable recording of the actual parking time if Check out on the second scan is deactivated. In that case, the planned booking time remains decisive.
  • Remote opening: Comydo devices cannot be opened from anny at the push of a button, access always runs via a scan.
  • Access to doors or barriers that were not set up in Comydo beforehand.

​
Disconnect

If you want to keep existing access credentials but stop new ones from being created, deactivate the integration. If everything should be reset and deleted, delete the integration.
You can do both under Integrations: deactivate via the toggle in the top right, delete via the three dots → Delete.

​
FAQ

For booking access, customers receive a QR code in the anny app or booking confirmation. They scan it at the Comydo device.
Yes. One rule can link a resource with several device IDs. However, only one booking rule is possible per resource.
Yes. Create a community rule and assign one or more Comydo access points to it.
Yes. Use a custom licence plate field, mark it as a mandatory field and assign it via Licence plate recognition in the Comydo rule.
Check in on the first scan checks the booking in automatically on the first licence plate scan. Check out on the second scan checks it out again on the next scan. A second scan within 5 minutes of the check-in is ignored. This way you can record the actual usage time instead of only the planned one.

​
Troubleshooting

Check whether the Check-In function of the resource is activated, whether the booking belongs to the right resource, whether the rule contains the correct device ID and whether the current time is within the access period.
Check whether the licence plate is stored in the licence plate field and whether exactly this field is selected via Licence plate recognition in the Comydo rule. Also check the device IDs assigned to the car park resource.
Check whether Check out on the second scan is activated in the Comydo rule and whether the licence plate was recognised on exit. A second scan within 5 minutes of the check-in does not trigger a check-out yet.
