H-Flow Gateway
Experimental project · evolving
An application that lives in your property and connects the H-Flow cloud to on-site hardware: direct printing of receipts, charges and place cards, and access control with VDA and Dahua automation.
A lab feature, available as a pilot project.

What the Gateway is
The Gateway is a small piece of software installed on a machine in your property. It securely bridges H-Flow (cloud) and on-site devices: it receives commands via a queue and polling, runs prints and door openings, and sends events back to the system.
Local application
Runs on a mini-PC on site, next to printers and controllers.
Cloud ↔ hardware bridge
Command queue and polling: no inbound ports open.
Real-time events
Punches, accesses and alarms collected and stored in the system.
Direct printing
On local printers, no browser drivers
- Receipts, charges and place cards printed directly on site
- ESC/POS thermal printers, raster too
- Async dispatch via the gateway command queue
- Printing routed to the right printer by zone and purpose
Automation & access control
VDA and Dahua integration
- Dahua controllers for doors and keypads, VDA channels for common areas
- Door opening with automatic fan-out to mapped channels
- Credentials with permission groups defined in the gateway GUI
- Real-time events: punches, accesses, alarms
- Access by NFC Card or keypad code
Where it fits
The same gateway handles different accesses, inside and outside the property.
Beach clubs
Beach gates and accesses controlled by card or code.
Car parks
Barriers and vehicle entrances opened by card or code.
Parks & areas
Park and outdoor-area entrances under control.
Common accesses
Rooms, SPA, pool, gym: doors and common areas.
NFC Card
Contactless cards assigned to guests or staff, revocable anytime.
Code
Keypad codes loaded onto controllers, ideal when no physical card is needed.
