Short answer

How do I trigger a lockdown with my AI?

Tell your AI to lock a specific door or an entire site. It will use Kisi to execute the command immediately. You get instant control over your physical access points.

Security outcomes

What you can control

The AI handles the digital commands to your Kisi hardware.

SITE-WIDE

Full site lockdown

The AI triggers a protocol that secures every entry point at a location. You get total site isolation from a single prompt.

TARGETED

Individual door locks

The AI targets specific locks instead of the whole site. This lets you secure a single room or hallway.

REAL-TIME

Lock status checks

The AI checks which doors are currently locked or open. You get an immediate update on your facility's security state.

MANUAL

Human intervention

The AI cannot fix broken hardware or physical obstructions. You must handle any mechanical issues on-site yourself.

The workflow

What your AI does when the command arrives.

Your agent translates your request into Kisi actions.

  1. Identify the site

    The AI finds the correct facility to ensure the command hits the right location.

    get_kisi_place

  2. Find the locks

    The AI pulls a list of all available doors and locks at that specific site.

    list_kisi_locks

  3. Execute lockdown

    The AI sends the command to lock the requested doors or the entire site.

    lockdown_kisi_lock

  4. Verify security

    The AI checks the locks again to confirm they are actually engaged.
