Install Allegion wireless locks

Kisi integrates with Allegion's ENGAGE technology, providing seamless support for Schlage NDE and LE smart locks. This allows you to view and conveniently manage all locks across your facility through the Kisi interface.

Prerequisites

• Allegion wireless locks
• Allegion gateway
• a Kisi Controller

How does it work

The Allegion gateway allows the Kisi Controller to communicate with Allegion wireless locks. Each Kisi Controller can have one Allegion gateway with up to ten wireless locks for a total of ten doors per Kisi Controller.

note

The Allegion gateway is connected to the wireless lock via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). Make sure the gateway is no further than 9 m (30 ft) from the locks. We recommend doing a site survey to test your connection strength. If the signal is too weak, try moving your Allegion gateway closer to your lock.

Set up the integration

To set up the integration, please follow the steps outlined in the documents below.

1. Set up the hardware by following the hardware installation guide
2. Install the software by following the software installation guide

Once set up, the wireless locks will appear in the Kisi interface as additional inputs in the respective place.
