Tamper detection
As an admin, you can enable tamper detection on the Kisi Controller Pro 2. By configuring an alert policy for the tampered event, you can ensure to receive notifications whenever tampering with the controller is detected.
Please note that setting up tamper detection varies between different controller revisions. Before configuring tamper detection, ensure to check your controller's revision number under Controller details.
- Kisi Controller Pro 2 - revision numbers under 641xxxxxx
- Kisi Controller Pro 2 - revision number 641 and above
For Kisi Controller Pro 2 revision numbers under 641xxxxxx, only the input labeled Tamper can be used for tamper detection.
The tamper detection sensor must be purchased from a third party. Wiring is the same as a contact sensor. Connect the sensor to the IN12 and GND terminals on the controller board, which are labeled Tamper next to the inputs.
- Ensure that the controller's Tamper input is wired for tamper detection
- Enable the Tamper Detection permission under controller permissions
Starting from Kisi Controller Pro 2 revision 641xxxxxx, any input can be used for tamper detection.
The tamper detection sensor must be purchased from a third party. Wiring is the same as a contact sensor. Connect the sensor to any available IN and GND terminal pair on the controller board. After wiring, configure the input as Tamper Detection under the controller configurations, as detailed below.
Configure tamper detection
- Sign in to Kisi
- Click on Hardware in the sidebar and select your place from the top left dropdown.
- Select Controllers and select the Kisi Controller Pro 2 you want to configure for tamper detection
- Scroll down to Inputs
- Choose an input that hasn't been assigned to any hardware
- Under Type, select Tamper Detection
- Toggle the switch to enable it
- Click Save
In this scenario, no additional permissions need to be enabled.
When a firmware update is deployed to the controller and the controller technically is in a tampered state, you might receive a notification suggesting potential tampering, as controllers for security reasons do not retain tampered state between reboots.
