# ICT Protege

> Connect ICT Protege to KODE OS for access control data

> Connect ICT Protege to KODE OS for access control data integration

## Overview

Use this integration to connect your ICT Protege access control system to KODE OS. You can discover controllers and doors, then monitor lock status, door position, and related card-usage signals from a centralized view.

| Property            | Value          |
| ------------------- | -------------- |
| **System Type**     | Access Control |
| **Communication**   | REST           |
| **Collection**      | Pull           |
| **Collection Mode** | SNAPSHOT       |

## Supported Capabilities

* Discover Devices & Points
* Collect Sensor Data

## Prerequisites

* An active account with ICT Protege and access to their API or developer portal
* Username and password credentials for the ICT Protege system
* KODE OS environment with access to Data Sources

## Configure Connector in KODE OS

1. Navigate to **Data Sources** in your building
2. Click **API Catalog** and search for **ICT Protege**
3. Click **+ Add Datasource**
4. Fill in the fields below and complete the three-page setup flow

| Field             | Required | Type     | Description                                              |
| ----------------- | -------- | -------- | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| **URL**           | Yes      | text     | The base URL or IP address of the external system        |
| **Username**      | Yes      | text     | The username for authenticating with the external system |
| **Password**      | Yes      | password | The password for authenticating with the external system |
| **Site ID**       | Yes      | password | The site identifier in the external system               |
| **Controller ID** | Yes      | password |                                                          |

## Discover Devices and Points

After configuring the connector, click **Discover** on the connector detail page. KODE OS will query the ICT Protege system and return a list of available devices and their data points.

Review the discovered items and select the devices you want to register in KODE OS.

For more details on the discovery process, see the [Discovery guide](/products/integrations/capabilities/discovery).

## Devices and Points

When you discover devices from ICT Protege, KODE OS maps them to the following device types and data points:

### Access Controller

Canonical Type: `default`

| # | Point                | Description                             | Unit | Writable | Ontology Field | Collection |
| - | -------------------- | --------------------------------------- | ---- | -------- | -------------- | ---------- |
| 1 | `DoorLockStatus`     | Current state of the door (open/closed) | --   | No       | `lock_status`  | Polling    |
| 2 | `DoorPositionStatus` | Current state of the door (open/closed) | --   | No       | `door_status`  | Polling    |

## What Data You Get

### Point History

Time-series readings including DoorLockStatus, DoorPositionStatus, collected at regular intervals from connected devices

### Polling Schedule

* **Point History** -- Default polling: 5 minutes (min: 5 minutes, max: 1 hours)

For more details on collection modes, see the [Data Collection guide](/products/integrations/capabilities/data-collection).

## Use Cases

Once connected, this integration enables you to:

* Centralize access event monitoring across all entry points and zones
* Generate audit trails for security compliance and investigation
* Correlate access patterns with occupancy and energy data for building optimization

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="Authentication or connection error">
    Verify that the credentials are correct and have not expired. Check that the URL is reachable from the KODE OS environment. Verify the username and password are correct and the account has not been locked in the ICT Protege system.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Discovery returns no devices">
    Verify the connector credentials have sufficient permissions in the ICT Protege system to list devices. Run a test connection first to confirm connectivity. Some systems require specific API scopes or roles for device enumeration.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Data collection stops or gaps appear">
    Check the connector status on the Data Sources page. If the status shows an error, review the error logs on the connector detail page. Common causes include expired credentials, network changes, or rate limiting by the ICT Protege API.
