5.2.8 Custom events
In this menu you can configure custom events, which the device generates upon receiving a
custom command by text message (SMS). You can freely configure the custom command for
each event. Just like input and service events, custom events enable sending reports to remote
monitoring station, notifications to users, controlling outputs, as well as arming or disarming the
device.
With this function you can practically generate any reports to remote monitoring station,
notifications to users, and also control the dev
ice’s outputs and arm or disarm the device,
by sending custom commands of your choice in a text message (SMS) to the device’s phone
number.
Attention! Custom commands must be different than the available default SMS commands
(see chapters
Remote control and status query by SMS
and
), otherwise the device will only perform the default action associated with
the command.
*Arming and
disarming will not be executed if the “
Always armed
” or “
Bistable contact
” option
is selected at the “
Arming / Disarming options
” in the “
General
” device settings menu. In these
cases the device cannot be armed and disarmed remotely.
It is possible to send more than one command in one message, but the message should not
exceed 60 characters. The device will not execute commands which are entered in the message
beyond the 60 characters limit. The device will not react in case of receiving an incorrect or
non-existing command.
