Hello everyone,
How can I connect BioTime with Odoo?
- Is there a way to use BioTime's API to push/pull check-in events into Odoo?
- Or should I build a middleware that listens to BioTime and updates Odoo?
How can I trigger the gym door to open?
- Can Odoo send a signal (via GPIO, relay module, etc.) to open the door when the face ID is verified?
- Should the BioTime device handle the door unlock and only notify Odoo?
Has anyone done this kind of integration with ZKTeco or other biometric attendance systems and Odoo?
Any help, tips, or code examples would be highly appreciated. Thank you 🙏
'Is there a way to use BioTime's API to push/pull check-in events into Odoo?':
You've got an API documentation or shall we just guess what this thing is capable of doing?
'Can Odoo send a signal (via GPIO, relay module, etc.) to open the door when the face ID is verified?'
In general, nothing is limiting you, though the question is just to vast.
'Should the BioTime device handle the door unlock and only notify Odoo?'
Can it?
I'd like to suggest you to do your homework first in researching 'BioTime's API' to figure what it is able to do and revert back to the forum once you have a specific implementation question. What is even your use case here in terms of, what is the role of Odoo in this procedure? Does 'open gym door' refer to limiting physical access to active subscribes? Staff? Is Odoo supposed to deny access for members with pending payments? Is it supposed to be used as an attendance tracking device for employees? Is the Odoo kiosk mode for attendance meant to be used or is it handled by that device?
