FAQ
You only need to use the Kisi app to unlock if you don’t have access readers in place. With a Kisi Reader or Terminal installed, you can use tap to unlock, MotionSense, and badges in Apple Wallet as mobile access methods and different ways to unlock doors with physical credentials:
To ensure your security, cards that are not NFC standards compliant are not supported by Kisi Readers. Kisi supports many legacy key cards, so you can keep your old credentials when migrating to Kisi. Contact our team for specific info and check out our deployment options if you want to reuse your old readers and credentials.
You can use access links and QR codes to allow one-time users, visitors, and temporary staff to unlock Kisi-secured doors without signing up for a Kisi account or downloading the mobile app. You can simply send the access link via email, text message, or preferred communication platform or QR code via email to the person who needs temporary access. They can unlock the doors they have been granted access to by clicking the link or scanning the QR code at the Terminal Pro. For better security, set validity dates to specify the period the temporary credentials will be active.
No, you can use the Kisi app to unlock if you have the specific door connected to a Kisi Controller. Most companies deploy the full Kisi system at their own pace to utilize the full Kisi capabilities. The minimal requirement for upgrading to Kisi is changing your controllers. This enables cloud-based access control, unlocks from the Kisi mobile app, and remote and global management for all your facilities with Kisi controllers in place. You need to install the Kisi Reader or Terminal Pro on the doors where you’d like to use tap-to-unlock, MotionSense, badges in Apple Wallet, or QR codes.
The Kisi app is also available on Apple Watch, Android Wear OS, and Apple CarPlay. You can unlock Kisi-secured doors with your smartwatch without actively using your mobile. Download the Kisi app directly to your smartwatch via the App or Google Store or install it in the Watch app on your iPhone. Once you open the app, you’ll instantly see which doors are available. Just tap the door you want to unlock.
You can use the same method to unlock garage doors and gates through the Apple CarPlay app, increasing car safety and convenience.
Yes, the Kisi Mobile SDK for iOS and Android enables seamless integration of advanced access control features into your mobile app. With this SDK, partners and customers can offer their end users Kisi-powered mobile credentials, including in-app, tap to unlock, and MotionSense, to enhance security and convenience.
