5. Home Automation and PGM
Home Automation is an optional feature that requires an add‐on expansion module.
Home Automation enables you to control up to 16 individual lights and appliances
around the home (HA units), and PGM output. PGM is a programmable output that is
triggered according to specific system status conditions, or by remote command sent via
PSTN, GSM, Ethernet, keyfob, keypad, or Remote Programmer.
HA units and PGM programmable output can be controlled (using the keypad and
keyfobs, remotely by telephone or SMS) or programmed to react to specific system status
conditions. For example, an HA unit can be programmed to switch on when the system
is armed or when a specific zone is triggered.
How an HA unit reacts to the On command is determined by the installer in
programming. The HA unit can be programmed to switch on until the Off command is
received/the end of status condition that turned it on, or automatically switch itself off
after a pre‐programmed amount of time.
Scheduling options enable you to program On and Off times for each HA unit. This
feature is found in the main menu. For further information on how to navigate the
menu, refer to Advanced System Operation.
Additionally, the Randomize feature is designed to switch lights on and off at night
when the system is armed (This feature can be enabled by your installer). This gives
potential intruders the impression that the house is occupied.
