Scenes, Favorites, and Groups

Due to the extensive nature and capability of “Scenes” on the Alarm Panel and app, it can get a little confusing when wanting to create rules for specific actions to happen. For this reason. we’ve listed some of the most common scenes that would be used and what Actions and Triggers need to be set for these scenes Please note that initially, the only functions would be to arm or disarm the system or sound a beeping noise at the Hub. This will eventually be expounded on in future updates. If you need help creating a scene, please refer to this article. How to Use the Recipe Book Identify the header of the rule you most closely want to resemble Set the suggested Actions accordingly from the recipe on either the app or the Alarm Panel. Set the suggested Triggers accordingly from the recipe on either the app or the Alarm Panel. Activate the scene and test. For Android, Have the scene’s toggle slider set to Active (to the right) and then click on the 3 dots at the top right and click “Perform Actions”. This will emulate the rule if the conditions are met. For iOS, click on the scene in question and click on the 3 dots at the top right of the Scene’s triggers and actions page. Click “Activate”.

“Scenes” (also sometimes referred to as “Routines”) allow you to create custom rules for your system. They follow a pattern of “If this, then that” logic, where a “Trigger” needs to occur in order for an “Action” to happen. Here’s an example of what we mean: I want my system to arm to “Away” mode at 10:00 AM every day. The “Trigger" is 10:00 AM every day and the “Action” is to arm “Away.” There are also “Conditions” that are still in development. Please ignore anything labeled “Conditions” at this time. With the number of “Actions” and “Triggers” available, this function may seem a little overwhelming at first, however we have created a Recipe book for some of the more common Scenes you would wish to use.
