Connect Avigilon Alta to KODE OS for access control data integration
Overview
Use this integration to connect your Avigilon Alta (formerly Openpath) access control system to KODE OS. You can discover ACUs, readers, locks, and related devices, then monitor status, alarms, and operational data from the platform.Supported Capabilities
- Discover Devices & Points
- Collect Sensor Data
- Collect Non-Sensor Data
Prerequisites
- An active account with Avigilon Alta and access to their API or developer portal
- Username and password credentials for the Avigilon Alta system
- KODE OS environment with access to Data Sources
Configure Connector in KODE OS
- Navigate to Data Sources in your building
- Click API Catalog and search for Avigilon Alta
- Click + Add Datasource
- Fill in the fields below and complete the three-page setup flow
Discover Devices and Points
After configuring the connector, click Discover on the connector detail page. KODE OS will query the Avigilon Alta 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.Devices and Points
When you discover devices from Avigilon Alta, KODE OS maps them to the following device types and data points:Access Controller
Canonical Type:default
What Data You Get
Point History
Time-series readings including connectionStatus, temperature, is_virtual, Status, entry_count, offline_entry_count, user_count, group_count, and 7 more, collected at regular intervals from connected devicesAlarms
Alert and fault notifications including alarm name, priority, status, timestamps, device association, and acknowledgment state KODE OS maps Avigilon Alta data to these standard fields:Audit Logs
Access and security event records including badge swipes, door access events, person identification, timestamps, and access results KODE OS maps the collected data to these standard fields:Polling Schedule
- Point History — Default polling: 1 minutes (min: 1 minutes, max: 1 hours)
- Alarm — Default polling: 1 hours (min: 1 hours, max: 1 days)
- Audit Log — Default polling: 1 hours (min: 1 hours, max: 1 days)
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
Authentication or connection error
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 Avigilon Alta system.
Discovery returns no devices
Discovery returns no devices
Verify the connector credentials have sufficient permissions in the Avigilon Alta system to list devices. Run a test connection first to confirm connectivity. Some systems require specific API scopes or roles for device enumeration.
Data collection stops or gaps appear
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 Avigilon Alta API.
