The app “alarm system” lets you create a personal alarm system for your evonHOME. The alarm system is divided into a central alarm system and one or more alarm groups. Alarm groups divide the alarm system into several areas.
The app “alarm system” is located under “all apps” – “alarm system”.
If the alarm system or one or more alarm groups have been activated, the defined activation delay for each alarm group must first expire before the alarm can be triggered. Once the activation delay has expired, if a movement detector is triggered then a trigger delay is activated. During this time, the alarm system can be de-activated without an alarm being triggered. Once the trigger delay has expired, the silent alarm is triggered and a notification is sent. Once the silent alarm time has expired, the actual alarm is triggered and a further notification is sent and the outputs linked to the alarm system are switched.
Activation time is necessary for the following situation: you want to leave the house and activate the alarm before you go. To make sure that you do not inadvertently trigger the alarm yourself, you need the activation delay.
If you want to activate the alarm system, you can either do this via the app by opening the alarm system (“all apps” –“alarm system”) and select the button “activate” in the operator panel for the alarm system, or you define a button to activate the alarm and you use this button (how you do this is described in the chapter configuration). Deactivating the alarm is done the same way via the app, only that you have to enter a password. Deactivation via a button works identically to activation.
Warning, since the alarm system can be deactivated without a password using a button, you need to select a button that is not immediately visible!
