Touchless access control is the new normal. We expect technology to provide us with greater convenience, enhanced security and even potential protection from COVID-19 by limiting contact with shared devices.
The Kisi feature portfolio resonates very well with this trend. We offer touchless and frictionless access to facilities through various mobile credentials, including:
As a fourth option, you can open doors with your Apple Watch.
Kisi on Apple Watch is a phone-free option to easily unlock doors in your facility. It’s a practical solution, especially when you forgot your phone at the office, or when you don’t want to take it out of your bag.
To use this feature, first you need to download the Kisi app directly to your Apple Watch via the App Store. Alternatively, you can install it in the Watch app on your iPhone.
Once you open the app, you’ll find a list of your places on the watch screen. If you have access to more than one place, the nearest place will be pre-selected on opening the app.
This means, you’ll instantly see which doors are available. Also, a list of your favorite doors will appear on the top, marked by a star. Just tap the door you want to unlock.
Please note: doors that have Reader restriction enabled are not supported by the Apple Watch app.
The latest versions of the Kisi app support Apple Watch. Apps that have a Watch companion app from your iPhone are being automatically installed.
If you have questions about setting up Kisi on your Apple Watch, read our Help article here.
