Overview
Use HomeBridge hold state alongside reservations and catalog references so temporary commitments can expire automatically and return to the workflow.
Problem
Temporary property commitments need explicit state and expiry handling while a customer reservation is still being processed.
Solution
HomeBridge models holds as part of the reservation journey and runs a five-minute hold-expiry sweep that publishes hold-expired context when required.
How it works
Create or review the relevant reservation, apply the temporary hold state, monitor the hold window, and let HomeBridge expiry automation release stale commitments according to the stored workflow state.
