Programmable Devices

The following devices produce messages indicating their live status, which is then shown on
the Dashboard:
Switch Input Device: A device with one input point and an optional output that has the state
of On or Off. The device can have the following behaviors: Toggle, Latch, Unlatch, Pulse, or
Follow. A schedule associated with the device causes it to be available for activation via its
input point during the selected times for the schedule.
Schedule Controlled Device: A device whose input is a schedule and that has an optional
output associated with it. The timer's state is On during the times selected in its schedule;
otherwise it is Off. The device can have these behaviors: Toggle, Latch, Unlatch, Pulse, or
Follow.
Valid Credential Input Device: A device whose input is a card reader and that has an
optional output associated with it. A valid credential device has no state, so its behaviors
are limited to: Toggle, Latch, Unlatch, and Pulse. Valid credential devices have permissions
associated with them and appear in the group permissions area. Valid credential devices do
not have Disengage messages because they do not have On or Off states, nor do they have
schedules.
Event Triggered Device: A device whose input is the specific event associated with it from
the door that the event triggered device is created to watch. An event triggered device can
have an optional output associated with it. The device can always have these behaviors:
Toggle, Latch, Unlatch, or Pulse. If an event triggered device is watching for Door Ajar
events, then it has a state and can have a Follow behavior. If the Follow behavior is
selected, then the device can have a Disengage message. The schedule associated with an
event triggered device defines when it is active because a client might want to respond to
the event differently during business hours than during non-business hours.
The device types above all allow the following types of Target Output:
Relay: When this type of output is targeted, the selected relay will obey the prescribed
output behavior.
Schedule: When this type of output is targeted, the selected Group Activated Schedule
obeys the prescribed output behavior.
Threat Level: When this type of output is targeted, the selected Target Threat Level is
changed to correspond with the prescribed output behavior.
