Page 3: Introduction
HouseControl’s GSM number. HouseControl is available in three models: S-, M-, and L-models. The S-model is the smallest one, and it is primarily, but not entirely, intended to be used as a burglar alarm in holiday homes. Larger M- and L- models are ideal for privately owned homes because there are many more aspects to monitor and control remotely than in holiday homes. -
Page 4: Receiving Alarms
You can find out whether monitoring is on or off just by looking at the red light on the security keypad or from the unit’s own signal light B (see Table 3). You can also ask it from your HouseControl with a text message (see 1.2.8) or a phone call. -
