Floodlights

PreviousStrobesNextAlarm handling

Last updated 4 months ago

You can toggle the floodlights for a system by opening the settings menu on the live view widget. This can be done on either the web app or the mobile app.

After the selected period of time has elapsed the floodlights will automatically switch off again.

You can also control the floodlights from the system overview page on the top right hand column.

Scheduled operation

The floodlights can be switched on and off on a schedule.

Then you can select the schedule on the Schedules tab underneath the Floodlights section. In the below image, 'Smart Schedule' is selected.

The floodlights will switch on during the purple sections of the schedule. They will be switched off during the grey sections.

If the floodlight is manually switched off in the middle of a schedule, it will not switch back on again until the next scheduled activation. In the above example, if the floodlight was switched off at 2PM on a Monday, it would not switch on again until 8AM the following day.

Alarm trigger

The floodlights can also be configured to trigger when an elevated alarm state is entered (or be on all the time when the system is armed).

To do this, chose the length of time for which you want the strobe lights to flash after an alarm level is entered.

First, that you want the floodlights to follow.
