Home Automation

The Home Automation feature allows you to control items (i.e. devices such as lights,

appliances, etc.) with your security system.

Each item on your system may have been assigned to follow one or more preprogrammed

schedules by your installer. For example, lights can be turned on and off at certain times of

the day, and on certain days of the week. Scheduling can be used to give the premises the

occupied appearance while you are away. Your installer should provide you with a list of

which items have been programmed to follow which schedules, and the times that each

schedule will follow. By knowing their schedules you will know when the various items on

your system can be activated.

To have schedules programmed or modified, contact your installer.
