#=GOTO

To Bypass or Restore a zone in another area, you must first "go to" that area by selecting #=GOTO.

AREA:

ENTER AREA:

At this point you may enter the area number followed by the ' # ' key, or use the down arrow key to scroll to the next area - See Area Arming for additional information.

What To Do When You Come Home

Entry through a door:

If you enter your home while the system is armed in the Day or Away modes, using your normal entry door:

Console beeper comes on - display indicates: " *** DISARM SYSTEM *** - PRESS OFF THEN CODE"

Any lights or control modules programmed to come on for the door that you used will do so.

The system will wait the Entry Delay time.

You should go to your console (or telephone) immediately and turn the security system off. If you wish, you may go directly to a different security mode, rather than turning the system Off.

If you return home and hear the alarm sounding, DO NOT ENTER. Use a neighbor's phone to call for help.

What Happens When the Alarm is Activated

Burglar Alarm Activated

If someone enters through any zone other than an Entry-Exit zone, if the security system is in the Night mode, or if the security system is not turned off during the Entry Delay:

The sounder is activated, which makes a loud, continuous sound.

The display shows the type of alarm and the zones that have been tripped:

"BURGLAR ALARM! - ZONE NAME TRIPPED".

If more than one zone is tripped, then the bottom line will show each zone tripped for two seconds.

The When Alarm macro is activated. Any units programmed to come on will do so.

The Flash For Alarm Unit Number begins to flash on and off.

The system waits the Outside Siren Delay (0 - 60 seconds), then activates the sounder.

The system waits the Dial Out Delay (0 - 60 seconds), then if programmed, the in-house phones are seized (disconnected) and the OmniPro II begins to dial out.

If you are having your system monitored by a central station, the central station will be sent a code representing the type of alarm (burglary) and zone involved. In most cases, the central station will call back, requesting your password or passcode.

If you are not using central station monitoring but are using the voice dial out capability, the system looks at the Dial Order to determine which number to call first, and calls that number.

If you are using both central station monitoring and voice dial out, then the voice dial out is delayed by five minutes to give the central station time to call you back.

II specifications

Home Automation II represents the next evolution in smart home technology, providing users with greater flexibility, convenience, and security through advanced features and integrated systems. This smart home revolution focuses on the seamless interaction of devices and the automation of daily tasks, ultimately enhancing the overall living experience.

One of the key features of Home Automation II is interoperability among a wide range of devices. This enables homeowners to control lights, thermostats, security cameras, and other appliances from a single platform. Whether through smartphones, tablets, or voice-activated assistants, users can easily manage their home environment, monitor energy consumption, and receive real-time notifications. This level of integration not only simplifies operation but also creates a more cohesive smart home ecosystem.

Another significant aspect of Home Automation II is the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning. These technologies learn a homeowner’s habits and preferences, allowing the system to adapt automatically. For example, the thermostat can adjust temperatures based on the time of day and occupancy patterns, while lighting systems can simulate human presence when residents are away. This not only enhances comfort but also contributes to energy efficiency, leading to potential cost savings in utility bills.

Home Automation II offers enhanced security features as well. Smart locks, surveillance cameras, and motion detectors can all be integrated into the home’s network. This allows homeowners to monitor their property remotely, receive security alerts, and even grant access to visitors through mobile apps. Biometric security options, such as facial recognition, are also becoming more common, adding an extra layer of protection.

Furthermore, energy management technologies are a hallmark of Home Automation II. Smart plugs and sensors monitor energy use, providing insights to homeowners about how to reduce consumption. Advanced systems can even automate energy distribution, shifting usage to off-peak hours to alleviate strain on local grids and maximize efficiency.

Finally, voice control has become a prominent feature in Home Automation II, allowing users to operate devices hands-free. Integration with voice-activated platforms like Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple Siri adds another layer of convenience, making it easy to control multiple aspects of the home with simple voice commands.

In conclusion, Home Automation II represents a significant step forward in creating intelligent spaces that are responsive to the needs of their users. Through the integration of cutting-edge technologies, enhanced security measures, energy management, and intuitive control options, the concept of a smart home is evolving into a more accessible and efficient reality.
