Connect Swift Connect to KODE OS for access control data integration
Overview
Use this integration to connect SwiftConnect to KODE OS. You can discover access hardware and points, collect sensor and non-sensor data, and pull historical access information alongside mobile-credential flows such as phone-based access.Supported Capabilities
- Discover Devices & Points
- Collect Sensor Data
- Collect Non-Sensor Data
- Collect Historical Data
Prerequisites
- An active account with Swift Connect and access to their API or developer portal
- Username and password credentials for the Swift Connect 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 Swift Connect
- 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 Swift Connect 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 Swift Connect, KODE OS maps them to the following device types and data points:IO Reader / Controller
Canonical Type:IOREADER
What Data You Get
Point History
Time-series readings including connection_status, collected at regular intervals from connected devicesAccess Events
Mobile access events including credential presentation and door access resultsPolling Schedule
- Point History — Default polling: 15 minutes (min: 15 minutes, max: 15 minutes)
- SwiftConnectEvent — Default polling: 15 minutes (min: 15 minutes, max: 1 hours)
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 Swift Connect system.
Discovery returns no devices
Discovery returns no devices
Verify the connector credentials have sufficient permissions in the Swift Connect 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 Swift Connect API.
