An "Alarm Group" represents a section of your alarm system which you want to secure. You can create an unlimited number of groups and use them to arrange your house into various segments. This makes it possible to create different settings for each group and only activate the ones you need.
You can, for example, create a new alarm group for each floor and by using a scene, only secure the ones which are not occupied at the moment.
The OperatorPanel shows you the current state of the group. If the lock is closed, the group is currently active and will be taken into account when you activate the alarm system.
To change the state of the group, you can click on the small lock in the ObjectPanel of the group or use the button in the OperatorPanel.
Be aware that once the alarm system is activated, you can not change the state of each alarm group. If you want to activate or deactivate a group, you will have to deactivate the alarm system first.
Activation delay
If the alarm system and this group have been activated, then the alarm in this group can only be triggered after this time has expired. (Important if you wish to leave the house without triggering an alarm yourself).
Trigger delay
The silent alarm is triggered after this time has expired.
Trigger if
Select all the triggers that you wish to be able to set off this alarm.
camera
Select one or more cameras which will capture up to 6 images if the alarm goes off. You can change the interval for the captured images by using the provided slider. For example: If you set the interval to 2 seconds, each camera will try to capture an image every 2 seconds until 6 images are recorded. You can view the captured images in the "pictures" section below this setting.
Test alarm
The button “test alarm” lets you trigger an alarm in this group. The group and the central alarm system are activated, the panel is closed and an alarm is triggered. Use this to test your alarm system.
