Minimal Kisi setup
Use case example
Organizations without the need for access control readers can seamlessly connect the strike directly to the Kisi controller. Enjoy the convenience of managing everything through Kisi, with all its comprehensive features included, except for the reader-dependent MotionSense and Tap to unlock.
Benefits
- Minimum setup needed to implement Kisi
- No need for readers
- All non-reader dependent Kisi features included
Power supplies are required for the Network Switch and Kisi Controller Pro 2. Check the individual hardware documentation for appropriate DC power adapters.
Access logic
Mobile app access
- The user taps to unlock in the Kisi mobile app (or uses access link/API)
- Kisi cloud verifies the credential and sends unlock command to the controller
- The Kisi Controller Pro 2 opens the door strike
As there are no readers in this setup, available access options include mobile in-app unlocks, access links, and API calls. Mobile Tap to unlock, MotionSense, physical credentials, and Bluetooth unlocks are not available as they require readers. See migration paths to check what access options are available for different deployment methods.
