Auto entry is in beta test, if you wish to participate to the beta, please reach out to your Account Manager.

To allow auto entry, bsport is partnering with Kisi. Before going further in this article, it is mandatory to get in contact with Kisi so you are fully onboarded and your Kisi account is set up with all your doors configured and correctly linked to hardware. Once this is done, you can go on with this article.

Connect bsport to Kisi

To connect bsport to Kisi, you will need to provide your Kisi API key to your Account Manager. Here is how to find your API key:

  • In the top right corner, click on your email and select "My Account"

  • In "My Account", select "API" from the menu on the left and click "Add API key"

  • In "Name", indicate "bsport"

  • In "Password", indicate your account password

  • Copy the API key and send it to your Account Manager

  • Wait for your Account Manager to confirm that the link between bsport and Kisi has been established.

Activate Geofencing

Auto entry is based on a click-to-open logic. Meaning that your members can open doors through their app by clicking on a button. Learn how this works by following this helpsheet.

In order to prevent fraud, you want to make sure that your members are actually close to the door when opening it. In this case, you can activate Geofencing.

Geofencing defines a radius around your doors in which a member has to be in order to be able to unlock said doors.

To activate it, please contact your Account Manager and give them the radius (in meters) within which members should be in order to unlock doors.

We recommend setting a radius of at least 100 meters around your entrance. This allows for normal variations in phone localization accuracy due to GPS and network conditions.

Wait for your Account Manager to confirm that everything is in place.

Learn how to set up Access Control

Now that Access Control is activated, let's see how to properly set up your Back Office to define the entry rules.
