Modes
Modes enables total home automation at the touch of a button, providing greater security, control, and
energy savings. You perform a single action–select a new mode–and lights, thermostats, and locks
transform into pre-determined states. The user-definable modes enable schedules and automations to
perform actions with respect to your security system's arm state, scheduled times, sensor status, system
events, and more.
Note:
Modes is only available for non-cellular-based systems.
Using Modes you can set up custom modes for the ultimate amount of control. For example, when
leaving on vacation simply select the On Vacation mode, after you arm your system, and the following
actions can occur automatically:
Change the thermostat schedule to an energy-efficient schedule
Turn off all lights and lock all doors
Enable a schedule that randomly turns on certain lights between 7pm and 10pm
Capture video clips from all cameras if motion is detected
Send an alert when the system is disarmed (to ensure that your pet sitter is caring for the family
pet)
Upon returning home, you disarm the system and change the mode to At Home. Your system reverts back
to the pre-defined settings and schedules associated with the selected mode. Alternatively, you can use
the mobile application to change the mode on your way back from the airport, to get your home ready for
your arrival, without compromising your home's security.
