Below is a breakdown of the various restrictions and parameters we can configure the Pi access-control devices to look at. See Recommended Hardware for details on the devices themselves.

Every restriction below also requires a message to display when check-in fails, so that is not repeated in each entry. The Required info line lists only what is specific to that restriction.

Member admittance can be restricted by waiver (either by ID or by keyword) so that only members with the specified waiver can gain entry. This restriction can include one or multiple waivers. It is useful when restrictions are needed at the member level, such as 24-hour admittance or a restricted pool area.

Required info: Waiver ID

Member admittance can be restricted by addon. This restriction can include one or multiple addons. It is useful if admittance needs to be limited at the Unit level, such as a service the addon represents.

Required info: Addon ID

Member admittance can be restricted by membership type, allowing access to the specified area only if the member has the correct type. This is useful in limiting access to more specific areas, such as a seniors’ area, or limiting an area to staff only (if a staff membership type exists).

Required info: Membership Type ID

Member admittance can be restricted by gender. This is helpful for locker rooms or gender-specific workout areas.

Required info: Allowed gender

Member admittance can be restricted to members older than a specified age. This is useful for limiting children’s access to areas of the facility.

Required info: Minimum age

Member admittance can be restricted to members under a specified age. This can be used to limit access to age-specific sports areas.

Required info: Maximum age

Member admittance can be restricted by business hours combined with membership type. This is helpful for a door that is available only to members of a particular membership type but is not always staffed.

Required info: Business hours for all seven days of the week, and the Membership Type ID

Member admittance can be restricted by business hours to those members who have signed a particular waiver. This is helpful when the facility offers 24-hour access and is unstaffed, requiring members who use the facility outside of business hours to sign a waiver.

Required info: Business hours for all seven days of the week, and the Waiver ID(s)

Member admittance can be restricted to only the times during, or only the times outside, regular business hours. This is helpful for a 24-hour facility that has a door that is not staffed, or a door that should only be accessible outside regular business hours.

Required info: Business hours for all seven days of the week, and whether the filter restricts access during or outside those hours

Admittance filters can be bypassed using a staff waiver filter. This allows staff who have been issued a particular waiver to bypass any other filter that might be in place — for example, staff needing to enter an area they would otherwise be barred from, such as a locker room or childcare center for cleaning.

Required info: Bypass Waiver ID

Filters can be set when the device is first built, and they can also be changed remotely after the fact — you are not locked into the configuration your device shipped with.

To request a new restriction or a change to an existing one, contact our team via The Bubble with the required info listed above for the restriction you want, along with the failure message you would like members to see.
