Control Panel

Your control panel is used for controlling your Alarms, Lights, and Sensors.

Setting it up is extremely easy. All you need to do is follow the steps.

To Setup

Follow these steps to setup your Control Panel.

2. Right Click and go into the object's contents.
3. Edit the notecard "_config".
4. Enter an Alarm ID. (This is used to link alarms together).
5. Choose who you want to access it. (Access)

If you don't want to use the pagers, then your control panel is all set up.

Since the pager API is pre-built into the control panel, you can set all the variables in "_config" notecard.

Setting Up Pagers

2. Put Pager Network Key in "PagerKey" in the _config notecard.
3. Enter the channel you would like burglar alarm messages to be sent on.
4. Set how you want the message to be sent. Setting "ToneOut" to "Pager" will send it to only pagers.
5. Set the location of your control panel.
6. "PagerDebug" will send you pager's API error messages, if you're getting no messages on the pagers, this will help you and tell you why.

Home Panel

Frequently Asked Questions

Why doesn't my Home Panel do anything when I click it?

When using the Home Panel, you will need to make sure that you have turned on your Control Panel. This will activate the entire system.

Why doesn't a person's name work on the Whitelist?

If you are putting people's names on the white list; if they do not have the last name in their Username, then you will need to supply the last name as "Resident".

Example, If my name is "Johnsmith123", my name will need to be formatted "Johnsmith123 Resident" on the whitelist.
