The Home Automation feature allows you to control items (i.e. devices such as lights,
appliances, etc.) with your security system. In addition, if one or more EMS-100 thermostats
are installed, temperature can be controlled as well.
Each item on your system may have been assigned to follow one or more preprogrammed
schedules by your installer. For example, lights can be turned on and off at certain times of
the day, and on certain days of the week. Scheduling can be used to give the premises the
occupied appearance while you are away. Your installer should provide you with a list of
which items have been programmed to follow which schedules, and the times that each
schedule will follow. By knowing their schedules you will know when the various items on
your system can be activated.
In addition to items, you may have one or more thermostats on your system. The thermostats
control the premises temperature according to temperature ranges called Occupancy
Settings. Each thermostat can have up to four different Occupancy Settings, each of which
can be assigned to follow one or more schedules. The schedules are programmed by your
installer (see Section 6.6—Thermostat Control).
To have schedules programmed or modified, contact your installer.
