PointCentral combines access control and connected-property management. It is a growth option: OwnerRez reports a 15-property minimum for new onboarding, exempts existing customers and warns the policy may have changed. A new 1–10-property operator needs current eligibility confirmed before considering hardware or setup costs.
About PointCentral
PointCentral offers software-managed guest and staff access alongside connected-device monitoring. Its dashboard covers unit, perimeter and shared-area access, with digital credentials and event history. These are vendor-described capabilities, not independently measured security or operating results. New-customer fit for 1–10 properties remains unresolved because of the documented onboarding minimum.
Hardware and communication hub
PointCentral publishes a model-specific hardware catalog, including Yale Pro 2 commercial variants. Yale Pro 2 commercial models differ from Assure Lock 2. This catalog does not establish Wi-Fi Encode compatibility.
The vendor brochure describes a cellular communication hub without requiring a Wi-Fi router. This is a historical architecture brochure. Current hub, carrier, local cellular coverage, power and backup conditions remain unconfirmed.
Installation and ongoing servicing
Authorized service providers offer consultation, installation, cellular-connectivity verification and ongoing device servicing. Provider availability, local coverage and installation charges remain property-specific.
Access and connected-property controls
PointCentral offers guest/staff access control and connected-property management with DIY or professional installation. Advertised STR-manager fit does not establish new-customer eligibility for 1–10 properties.
PointCentral's dashboard manages unit, perimeter and shared-area access with digital credentials and event history. Credentials and access devices require model-specific compatibility. These vendor capabilities do not establish reduced security incidents.
PointCentral offers cloud dashboard automation, device control and property monitoring. The described vendor capabilities do not establish independently measured performance or guaranteed uptime.
Connections and setup
Advertised PMS and operations integrations
The STR integration list includes Guesty, Hostaway, Breezeway, EZCare, Escapia and other providers. This establishes advertised provider connections, rather than tier eligibility or every code-sync operation.
OwnerRez eligibility and code behavior
OwnerRez notes 15 properties required for new PointCentral onboarding, with existing customers exempt and a warning the policy may have changed. Integration maps by site, generates six-digit codes and supports date changes and cancellations. OwnerRez attributes a 15-property minimum to new onboarding, exempts existing customers and warns the policy may have changed. Current eligibility requires PointCentral confirmation. Custom/phone-number codes are unsupported; old codes can persist during a channel-manager transition.
OwnerRez's matrix lists PointCentral as supporting changes to validity times and canceling codes but not selecting a specific code. The matrix’s N/A minimum-lock entry does not establish the absence of a property onboarding minimum. The detailed integration guide governs setup and code behavior.

Common questions
Can a new host with five properties assume eligibility?
No. OwnerRez reports 15 properties for new onboarding, with existing customers exempt and a warning the policy may have changed. Current PointCentral confirmation is necessary; the matrix’s N/A minimum-lock entry does not remove the property onboarding requirement.
Does the hardware catalog establish Schlage Encode compatibility?
No. It is model-specific and includes Yale Pro 2 commercial variants, which differ from Assure Lock 2. The reviewed catalog does not establish Wi-Fi Encode compatibility.
