Overview
ISO/IEC 14543-5-104:2024 defines a server-based remote access (RA) application framework for IGRS smart locks within the Home Electronic System (HES) architecture. The standard specifies the device interaction model, flow processes, interfaces and message/data formats needed to enable intelligent grouping, resource sharing and service collaboration among smart lock devices (Class 2 and Class 3). It applies to smart locks that connect directly to a network or via an intermediary (e.g., Bluetooth gateway) to an RA server for security authentication and interoperable remote control in homes, offices and other remote environments.
Key Topics
- RA server-based framework: Defines roles and components such as Remote Access Server (RAS), Remote Access Client (RAC), Bluetooth Gateway (BGW), Bluetooth Smart Lock Device (BSLD) and Third Party Service Platform (TPSP).
- Device lifecycle interfaces: Standardized procedures and messages for device discovery, registration, removal and control (lock/unlock).
- Authentication & security: Server-mediated authentication mechanisms and message formats designed to minimize unauthorized access while supporting seamless interoperability among users, devices and RA servers.
- Message and data formats: Generic message format and standard data payloads used among RAC, RAS, BGW and BSLD including response status codes and push notifications.
- Flow processes: Defined interaction flows for BSLD registration, control, BGW mediation and RAC–RAS communication to ensure consistent behavior across implementations.
- Conformance & testing: Conformance clauses and references to test/verification parts (e.g., planned test profiles) to support validation of compliant products.
Applications
- Manufacturers of smart locks and door access hardware implementing RA server integration or Bluetooth gateway support.
- Cloud and platform providers building RA servers, identity/authentication services or third‑party service platforms that manage groups of locks and share access resources.
- System integrators and smart home solution vendors deploying IGRS-compliant, multi-user access control for homes, multi-tenant buildings or office environments.
- Security architects and QA/test labs using the standard to ensure interoperability, secure remote access, and consistent device behavior across vendors.
