Lock Code Manager allows you to manage the slots for a single lock or a group of slots. The only requirement is that a particular slot for a particular lock can only be managed by one configuration.

Let's say you have the following locks: lock.lock_1 lock.lock_2

You could have one config entry for lock.lock_1 and lock.lock_2 slots 1-4 and a second config entry for lock.lock_1 and lock.lock_2 slots 5-8, but if you tried to create the second config entry for slots 4-8, it would fail because slot 4 is already being managed for at least one of the locks in the first config entry.

If you are trying to figure out how to automate lock codes for a rental property, see Managing guests and rentals — it covers the two patterns (rotating a standing user versus adding and removing one per guest), which to pick, and how to drive either from a calendar. The two-config-entry split described above is one of the options it discusses: one entry for the permanent PINs you and your staff use, another for the temporary ones you hand to guests.

While setting this up will definitely require some work, the integration is designed to maximize flexibility and give you as much control as possible.
