# Swift Connect

> Connect Swift Connect to KODE OS for access control data

> 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.

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

## 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

1. Navigate to **Data Sources** in your building
2. Click **API Catalog** and search for **Swift Connect**
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        |
| **Base ID**          | Yes      | text     | The base identifier for 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 |
| **Profiles Base Id** | No       | text     |                                                          |

## 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](/products/integrations/capabilities/discovery).

## 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`

| # | Point               | Description                | Unit | Writable | Ontology Field      | Collection |
| - | ------------------- | -------------------------- | ---- | -------- | ------------------- | ---------- |
| 1 | `connection_status` | Device connectivity status | --   | No       | `connection_status` | Polling    |

## What Data You Get

### Point History

Time-series readings including connection\_status, collected at regular intervals from connected devices

### Access Events

Mobile access events including credential presentation and door access results

### Polling Schedule

* **Point History** -- Default polling: 15 minutes (min: 15 minutes, max: 15 minutes)
* **SwiftConnectEvent** -- Default polling: 15 minutes (min: 15 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 Swift Connect system.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="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.
  </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 Swift Connect API.
