Section 1

About this guide

This guide explains how to use the SmartphoneKey Admin Portal from registration onward. It covers the actions available in the portal interface without describing internal system processes.

The sections and buttons visible in your account depend on your role and permissions. You may see only part of the functionality described below.

Section 2

Register your account and claim your first lock

Use the registration link provided by your administrator or installer.

Step-by-step

  1. Open the registration page.
  2. Enter your email address.
  3. Create a password.
  4. Enter the lock serial number.
  5. Enter the Matter code or pairing code supplied with the lock.
  6. Enter the address if the field is displayed.
  7. Click Register or Create Account.
  8. After successful registration, sign in if the portal does not open automatically.

Your account is now linked to your first Entity and lock.

If registration fails

Check the following:

  • The serial number is correct.
  • The Matter code or pairing code is correct.
  • The lock has not already been claimed.
  • Your password meets the minimum requirements.

If the issue remains, contact your administrator.

Section 3

Sign in to the Admin Portal

  3. Click Sign In.
  4. After login, open the SPK Portal.

If your session expires while the portal is open, the portal will ask you to sign in again.

Section 4

Select the current Entity

An Entity is the organization, building, site, or managed area whose devices and users you are working with.

If you have access to more than one Entity:

  1. Locate the Entity selector in the portal header (top-right, shows the current Entity name and lock count).
  2. Open the drop-down list.
  3. Select the required Entity.
  4. Wait for the page data to refresh.

If you have access to only one Entity, its name is shown in the header but there is no drop-down to switch.

Always confirm the selected Entity before creating users, assigning keys, adding devices, or reviewing logs.

Section 5

Main navigation

The left-side menu contains a fixed set of top-level sections. Depending on your permissions, you may see all or only some of them:

SectionPurpose

KeysManage digital keys, physical keys, and Wallet Keys.
DevicesManage locks, hubs, and Matter devices.
CamerasAdd and manage cameras and camera roles.

  • Keys → Keys, Physical Keys, Wallet Keys
  • Devices → Locks, Hubs, Matter
  • Cameras → Cameras, Camera Roles
  • Logs → Activity, Audit
  • Settings → Profile, Subscription, Notifications, Access Requests, Billing

Some accounts may not display all sections or tabs.

  • Confirm that you are working in the correct Entity (the Entity name and code are shown on the dashboard).

Troubleshooting

A menu section is missing

The section may not be included in your role. Contact your administrator if you believe you need access.

Data from the wrong Entity is displayed

Use the Entity selector and choose the correct Entity. Wait for the page to refresh.

A button is disabled

Read the message displayed by the portal. The action may require:

  • A different role
  • An active user
  • An active lock
  • Available Wallet Keys
  • A valid device status
  • A selected Entity
  • A completed prerequisite step (for example, a lock must have keys before access buttons appear)

A remote lock action fails

Check the lock status and last activity time. Retry after the countdown ends if the portal temporarily blocks repeated commands.

A physical card does not program correctly

Confirm that:

  • The correct lock and user are selected.
  • The correct programmer device is selected.
  • The correct card type was chosen (MIFARE Classic or DESFire EV3).
  • The card was tapped on the programmer.
  • You clicked Done after the device indication.

An invoice does not open

Sign in again and retry. If the problem remains, contact your administrator.

Important notes

  • Available sections depend on your role and permissions.
  • Always confirm the selected Entity before making changes.
  • Review confirmation messages carefully before deleting resources.
  • Local Admins can receive Wallet Keys but cannot buy them.
  • Removing a Matter device from the portal may not reset the physical device.
  • Use temporary guest keys for visitor access instead of permanent user keys.
