Your iControl Personal Web Portal ExplainedAfter you log in to your iControl System, the first page you will see of your personal web portal is the iControl Summary page. This is where you begin using your iControl System. This webpage is divided into four major windows: Status, Pictures, Alarm History, and Today’s Schedule. The Status window shows you the current state of your devices and System. The Pictures window displays recent pictures. The Alarm History window shows the recent changes in devices, and the Today’s Schedule window shows you the schedules that will run today. By selecting the tabs at the top of the page (Summary, Notifications, Automations, Schedules, and System), you can access the rich functionality of the System. The following is an example of the iControl Summary page.
Printed Documentation The interface of the iControl Summary page includes five tabs (Summary, Notifications, Automations, Schedules, and System) and a menu bar with six buttons (History, Update (green arrows), QuikControl, Mode, Help, and My Account). Tabs and Windows The tabs displayed on the iControl Summary page open a series of windows. Summary tab The Summary tab consists of the following windows: Status window The Status window shows you the overall System status and the current mode of the System. In this example, the System is in Home mode (your System can be in Home, Sleep, or Away mode). The Status light is always one of three colors: Green System operating normally (no alarm conditions). Yellow Alarm conditions on one or more devices (e.g., Front Door open). Red The iControl box is offline.
Your iControl Personal Web Portal Explained The lower part of the Status window, labeled ‘Current States’, lists the current state of all devices installed in your iControl System (e.g., the Front Hall Lamp Light is Off ). However, certain devices will not be listed as they do not have states. In the current Starter Kit, only cameras are such devices. Also, your location may have more iControl devices installed than those showing in the Current States window. You can view these devices by clicking on the up or down arrows or the small box inside the scroll bar on the right of the Status window. If a yellow triangle ( ) displays next to the current state of a device, this device has recognized a change that creates an alarm condition. In our example, the yellow triangle next to ‘Front Door – Open’ indicates that the Door/Window sensor has recognized the change from ‘Closed’ to ‘Open’. The following table shows the possible states and the alarm conditions of iControl devices. Device PossibleState(s) ExampleGenerates a yellow triangle when:Carbon Monoxide detector Ok or Alarm ‘Alarm’ indicates the presence of carbon monoxide.Alarm Door/Window sensor, Open or Closed ‘Open’ indicates the Open
Printed Documentation Micro Door/Window sensor, Recessed Door/Window sensor door or window is open.Freeze sensor Ok or Freeze ‘Freeze’ indicates that the air temperature is below 41 degrees. Temperature is below 41 degrees.Keychain Remote Lights On/Off, Take Picture, Change mode. Press the appropriate button to trigger the System to change mode.Not applicable. Lamp module On, Off, Brightness at 10% to 100% 50%– set the Lamp module to dim the controlled light to 50% brightness.Not applicable. Motion sensor Occupied or Empty ‘Occupied’ means a person is in the monitored area. OccupiedPanic Wristwatch and Hanging Pendant Ok or Alarm ‘Alarm’ indicates the user has pressed the panic button to request helpAlarm Smoke and Heat sensor Ok or Alarm ‘Alarm’ indicates the presence of smoke or temperatures above 135 degrees.Alarm Thermostat Degreesbetween 32° F and 120° F 67° F Not applicable. Water sensor Ok or Alarm ‘Alarm’ indicates the presence of water. Water detected. Note: This User Manual will discuss devices which may not be in your particular Starter Kit. More devices are available as accessories from iControl at www.icontrol.com. The term ‘Gateway’ – which appears on the System page and elsewhere – is interchangeable with the term ‘iControl box’.Pictures window
Your iControl Personal Web Portal Explained In this window, you can see the most recent pictures from each of your iControl cameras. If you place the cursor over a picture, the name of the camera will display, such as ‘Store - Rear Wired Camera’. You can also expand a picture by clicking on it. In the expanded view, you can delete the picture, take a new picture, email the picture, view thumbnails of recent pictures, or watch live video (if port forwarding is enabled). You can also focus the camera if you are viewing the picture on your local network. The Pictures window can be customized to show a different set of pictures for each camera. See My Account.Alarm History window This window shows recent alarms generated by your iControl devices. An alarm occurs whenever a device detects a change. Your Door/Window sensor may, for instance, detect an open door, or your Motion sensor may detect a person entering the monitored room. For each change, the Alarm History window displays the time of the alarm and the device’s name. In our example, the Back Hallway Motion Sensor generated an alarm condition at four different times (2:59PM, 2:29PM, 1:37PM, and 1:18PM). Next to each item in the Alarm History window is a yellow triangle ( ), indicating an alarm condition. You can place your cursor on any triangle to see the device state that
Printed Documentation caused the alarm condition. You can click on any device’s name to see the device’s alarm history.The Door/Window sensor and the Motion sensor are only two examples of iControl alarm devices. Additional alarm devices, such as a Thermostat and Freeze, Water, Smoke, and Carbon Monoxide sensors, are available as optional accessories. Today’s Schedule window This window shows the events scheduled to occur today. You can place your cursor on any rightpointing arrow beside a time to see the time window within which an action is scheduled to repeat. To learn more, see Schedules.Notifications tab The iControl System can email and/or SMS you and any number of staff or family members when an event happens. For example, the System can automatically send you and your staff an email when the front door of the store opens in the morning so that you know the store opened on time. You and your parent’s caregiver can get an SMS if your parent does not enter the kitchen in the morning for breakfast. You can get an email when someone comes into your vacation home. For detailed information on how to create and use notifications, see Notifications.Automations tab Automations allow you to set up your devices to perform an action automatically whenever another device recognizes a change. For example, you can program your camera to take a picture of whoever comes through the door when a warehouse door opens. If a Motion sensor detects a person entering the kitchen at night, you can have the lights come on. For detailed information on how to add and use automations, see Adding
Your iControl Personal Web Portal Explained and Editing Automations in Automations.Schedules tab You can schedule actions for your devices to perform at particular times of the day and days of the week. You can also schedule actions to repeat or occur randomly. You can, for example, have lights come on and stay on from 8PM to 11PM every night. Alternatively, you can have the lights turn on and off randomly during that time period. A camera can be scheduled to take a picture every two hours so you can check on store traffic. A thermostat at your parent’s house or vacation home can be set to turn up during the breakfast and dinner hours and down during the day and in the evening. For detailed information on how to add and use schedules, see Adding and Editing a Schedule in Schedules.System tab You can access the complete list of devices installed in your iControl System via the System tab. You can check to see if all of the installed devices are working properly. A green dot indicates that the System is operating properly, while a yellow dot indicates that the System is still installing the device or is not in communication with it. A red dot indicates that the device is offline, possibly because it is unplugged. You can add and delete devices, change their name, and confirm or change their device ID. You can also see the history of the device (when it was installed or deleted, for example). For detailed information on how to use the System tab, see Managing Your iControl Devices.
Changing Modes Your System can operate in Home, Sleep, or Away mode. Modes allow you to make system-wide changes. Some possible uses are: xHome mode can be used when you are home and do not want to receive notifications whenever someone goes in or out of a door or room. You could also set up schedules or automations that cause the cameras to take pictures only when the System is in Away mode. xSleep mode allows you to have notifications for Motion sensors be inactive while notifications for Door/Window sensors that may be on external doors or windows remain active. xAway mode can be used when you are traveling or away from your location.You can change your System’s mode in several ways.

On a Macintosh, control-click the image to bring up the menu. About Your Wireless Settings Wireless Security iControl supports 3 types of wireless security: Open, WEP and WPA. An OPEN wireless network means that there is no security on it at all. This means that anyone with an 802.11 wireless enabled device may be able to connect to your home network. By default most home routers are set to OPEN wireless.WEP encryption uses a HEX key (all numbers 0-9 and/or letters a-f only) in order to encrypt the traffic on your wireless network. While it does offer more protection than OPEN, WEP has been shown to be easily broken, and is therefor not considered very secure. There are several types of WPA security. WPA and WPA2 Encryption are both supported by iControl Cameras, but only if you're using the "personal" mode. While terminology may differ from router to router, iControl will support both methods using the shared passphrase, or PSK. Radius servers or enterprise mode are not supported by iControl. Finding your Wireless Settings To find your wireless settings, including your SSID, Security Mode, and encryption key, follow these steps: 1. Go to a browser and enter the router's IP address (usually in the form of 192.168.1.1 or 192.168.0.1). Consult your router's manual for the router's IP address.

Click the Launch Assistant button and follow the directions to complete the installation of your Z-Wave Lamp module. Troubleshooting Tips for Installing Your Z-Wave Lamp Module Initial installation of the Z-Wave Lamp Module is done in a low powered mode. Because of this, the iControl Box may have trouble locating the Z-Wave device. If you're experiencing this difficulty please try the following steps: 1. Confirm that the Z-Wave Lamp Module you're trying to install is within two to three feet of the iControl Box. After initial installation is complete, the Lamp Module May be moved to its final location. 2. Try changing the orientation of the iControl Box. This can mean turning the iControl Box on its side, or moving it lower or higher in relation to the Z-Wave Lamp Module. Z-Wave is an RF frequency so imagine that you're moving an antenna to improve reception.
Managing Your iControl Devices 3. Be sure that the Z-Wave Lamp Module has not been associated with another iControl System. Once installed, Z-Wave modules can't be moved between systems. Physical Installation of Your Lamp Module Next, physically install your Lamp module. Lamp modules are suited to controlling only indoor lamps and light fixtures using between 40- and 300-watt incandescent light bulbs. They do not operate properly with fluorescent light bulbs. To install your Lamp module, follow these steps: 1. Choose the light you wish to control (one light per module). 2. Plug in the Lamp module. 3. Plug the power cord from the light into the Lamp module (as shown). Note: To operate properly, a Lamp module needs to be placed with the following considerations in mind:
Printed Documentation xInstall it within 100 feet of the iControl box. xPowerline Lamp modules DO NOT work if plugged into power strips equipped with a surge protector or uninterruptible power supplies. xIf a wall switch controls the power outlet, the wall switch must be turned on and left in the On position. xThe Lamp module is not recommended for 3-way lights or lights controlled by 3-way wall switches. Setting the Brightness of Lighting You can set the brightness of your lighting, using the Lamp module as a dimmer. To do so, follow these steps: 1. From your iControl Summary page, either click on the current level of the Lamp module you want to set in the Current States area of the Status window or select the Lamp module you want to adjust from the QuikControl menu. This will bring up the QuikControl menu for that Lamp module.
Managing Your iControl Devices Place your cursor over the 100% and click on it. 2. Click on the down arrow, and choose the desired brightness level (e.g., 50%) from the list. 3. Click on the ‘Set’ button to save the change. Adding Your Keychain Remote
Printed Documentation You can control your Lamp module in five ways: xwith your Keychain Remote (such as pressing the Light button as you approach your location or while in your location) xvia your personal web portal (where you can use QuikControl to turn on or off lights and set brightness levels) xfrom your mobile portal (where you can turn on or off lights and set brightness levels) xwith an automation (such as automatically turning on the lights when the Door/Window sensor indicates ’Open’) xwith a schedule (turning lights on or off at particular times, randomly, or on a repeating basis.) To control the Lamp module from your Keychain Remote: Press the Light button to toggle the state of a light controlled by a Lamp module. Pressing the Light button on the Keychain Remote alternately sends ‘Light Button On’ and ‘Light Button Off’ signals to your iControl System. So if you use the Keychain Remote Light button to turn your lights on, then the next signal the Keychain Remote Light button will send is ‘Light Button Off’. However, you may not experience the desired result. If, for example – after turning the lights on with the Keychain Remote Light button – you turn the lights off manually, using QuikControl, or with an automation or schedule, then pressing the Keychain Remote Light button will send the ‘Light Button Off’ signal and no change will occur. Pressing the Light button a second time will send the ‘Light Button On’ signal, and the lights will turn on. A ‘Light Button On’ signal will always turn (or leave) the lights on to full brightness and a ‘Light Button Off’ signal will always turn (or leave) the lights off, irrespective of the brightness level of the lamp when the signal is received.Note: The Keychain Remote that comes with your Starter Kit is pre-configured to control
Managing Your iControl Devices the Lamp module in the kit. If you purchase additional Lamp modules or Keychain Remotes, you will need to add an automation to enable the Keychain Remote to turn on or off existing or newly-purchased Lamp modules.

Generally, your Motion sensor must be inclinemounted in a corner 7.5 feet high, aiming at the target area (as shown). To operate properly, your Motion sensor needs to be placed with the following considerations in mind:
Managing Your iControl Devices xInstall it only in an indoor space. xThe sensor can monitor an area approximately 35 feet long by 40 feet wide or about 1200 square feet. xMount the sensor so it ‘sees’ the area to be monitored. It is best to mount it approximately 7.5 feet high on a wall. xMount the sensor on a rigid, interior wall or rigid, insulated outside wall, facing in.xPlace the sensor within 100 feet of your iControl box. xWindows in monitored area should be closed, as the device can sense motion outside. xChildren and pets over 40 lbs. can trigger the sensor, if they climb on furniture or other objects in the monitored area. Children and pets under 40 lbs. may not be detected by the sensor. xDo not aim the sensor at windows, fireplaces, air conditioners, heaters, or forced-air heating vents. xDo not place the sensor in direct sunlight. xDo not mount the sensor near metal ductwork or other large metallic surfaces that may interfere with signals from the sensor.
Printed Documentation To mount your Motion sensor, you will need the screws that come with the sensor, a pencil, a ruler, a drill, and a screwdriver. The following diagrams show the sequence of the installation process: Press Down Here to detach back. Optional screw. Unscrew if present. Mount Motion sensor back to wall with 3/4” long screw and wall anchors. Snap the sensor body onto back. For corner mount, drill here. For wall mount, drill here. When a Motion sensor is first installed, the sensor does an automatic test, and the LED found on the upper front of the sensor turns red for five to ten seconds. The Motion sensor requires an additional 60 seconds when there is no motion in the monitored area to complete its test. This is the only time the LED turns red during normal operation. The
Managing Your iControl Devices LED does NOT turn on whenever it detects people coming and leaving the area. Using Your Motion Sensor To check the status of your Motion sensor, click on your Summary tab. In the Current States area of your Status Window, locate your Motion sensor. The status of your Motion sensor is either ‘Occupied’ or ‘Empty’. The term ‘Occupied’ means that the Motion sensor has detected a person moving in the area that it monitors and a yellow alarm-condition triangle appears next to the sensor’s name. The term ‘Empty’ means that it has NOT detected a person moving in the area that it monitors in the last five minutes. If a person enters a monitored area, the Motion sensor recognizes the change within two to three seconds and reports that the area is occupied through your iControl System, which in turn displays ‘Occupied’ next to the sensor’s name on your iControl Summary page within 30 seconds. If a person leaves the monitored area, the Motion sensor ‘waits’ about five minutes before reporting that the area is ‘Empty’. This delay allows the Motion sensor to confirm that the person has left the room, and also prevents unnecessary multiple ‘Occupied’ event alarms. If a person does not move, the Motion sensor can report that the area is ‘Empty’. The yellow alarm-status triangle next to the sensor’s name in the Current States area of the Status window disappears when the status changes to ‘Empty’. You can use your Motion sensor as part of any automation. When the Motion sensor detects a room is occupied, the iControl System can change modes, take a picture, or turn lights on or off. Here are two examples: xWhen someone arrives at a home or office (where the Motion sensor monitors the area the xIf a person comes to a front door or a particular room (where there is a Motion sensor and a light), the iControl System can have a light come on when the Motion Sensor detects that person.

Common Tasks Commonly Used Terms The following briefly defines the terms commonly used in the iControl System: xAlarms: An alarm is displayed in your Alarms window of your Summary page when the device changes state such as when a Motion sensor detects that a room Is occupied or unoccupied. xAutomations: Automations link a change in one device with the action of another device such as when a Door/Window sensor detects a door open, a camera takes a picture.xModes: Your system can operate in one of three modes: Home, Sleep, or Away. Modes allow you to have your devices behave differently depending upon the mode. By putting your System in Away mode, you can activate all your sensors; by placing your System in Home mode, you can ‘turn off’ your sensors when you are around your house or business.xNotifications: You can have the iControl service send you emails and/or SMS messages when, for example, a Door/Window sensor opens or a camera takes a picture.xNotify Lists: A list you create of the people you want notified via email and/or SMS when an event occurs—a Motion sensor detects movement, a picture is taken, etc.xQuikControl: A shortcut to change modes, control lighting, change a thermostat, or take a picture.Turn Up the Heat in the AM, Down During the Day, Up in the EveningTo have your System turn up the heat in the morning, turn it down during the day, turn it up in the evening, and turn it down again at night, create two schedules following these steps:
Printed Documentation 1. First, set the heat setpoint of your Thermostat. Click the ‘QuikControl’ button in the blue menu bar and select ‘Home Thermostat’ (the name you gave your Thermostat). In the new QuikControl Home Thermostat window that appears, use the drop-down menus to select your desired heat and cool setpoints. Here, we chose ‘68°’ as the heat setpoint and ‘72°’ as the cool setpoint. We want the heat to come on so ‘Heat’ is selected. We want the fan to circulate the heat but we want the fan to shut off when the heat turns off, so we selected ‘Auto’ under Fan. Select heating as the mode. Choose the temperature at which you want the heat to come on. Set fan to ‘Auto’ to turn it on when heating and off when heating is complete. Click on ‘Set’ to save your settings. 2. Click on the ‘Set’ button to save your choices. 3. Click on the Schedules tab to go to the Schedules window. 4. Click on the ‘Add Schedule’ button. 5. In the Name box, give the schedule a name such as ‘Weekday Home Thermostat Schedule - AM’. 6. Click on ‘>> to’ to reveal some additional options. 7. Use the drop-down menus to select 7:00AM as your start time and 8:30AM as your end time. 8. We’ll have this schedule operate only on weekdays, so make sure the Mon-Fri checkboxes are checked and the Sat and Sun checkboxes are unchecked.
Index9. Under Start Action, select ‘Set Home Thermostat Mode’ and ‘Heat’. 10. Under End Action, select ‘Set Home Thermostat Mode’ and ‘Off’. 11. We only want this schedule to operate in Home mode, so make sure there is a check in the Home mode checkbox and that there aren’t checks in the Sleep and Away mode checkboxes. 12. Click on the ‘Save’ button to save the schedule. You will be returned to the Schedules window, where your new schedule will appear in the list of schedules.13. Now repeat Steps 3 through 11, using ‘Weekday Home Thermostat Schedule - PM’ as the name of your schedule, 4:30PM as the start time, 11:00PM as the end time, ‘Set Thermostat Mode’ and ‘Heat’ as the Start Action, and ‘Set Thermostat Mode’ and ‘Off’ as the End Action.Your
Printed Documentation schedules will activate at the scheduled times, if the System is in Home mode at those times. To schedule your thermostat to cool your home, you can use the same procedure, selecting ‘Cool’ instead of ‘Heat’ in Step 8 and adjusting the start and end times. Send Me a Notification When the Panic Pendant Goes Off To have a notification sent to you when the button is pushed on a Panic pendant, create a custom notification following these steps: 1. Click on the Notifications tab to go to the Notifications window. 2. Click on the ‘Add Notification’ button. 3. The ‘Create a new Custom Notification’ option is already selected, so click the ‘OK’ button. 4. Under Trigger, select ‘panic wrist Alarm’. 5. Under Notify, select ‘When Grandma presses button’. You will be notified the next time Grandma presses her Panic button. 6. We want this notification to operate in all modes, so make sure there are checks in the Home, Sleep, and Away mode checkboxes.

IndexWhat if the iControl box Power light does not turn on? Make sure that the power cord is fully inserted into the power jack of the iControl box. If the Power LED in the front of the box still does not turn on, there may be a problem with your electrical connection. In rare instances, the iControl box or power supply may be faulty.What if I do not have a router or similar device? A router or similar device that does DHCP is required so that the iControl Gateway and associated devices are able to get IP addresses. You will plug the router or similar device into your broadband modem. What is the phone jack for? A phone dial-up option will be available in a future version of the product. When do the LEDs blink? During normal operation, the Power LED should stay on steady green. The Device LED turns on briefly when the iControl box is communicating with iControl devices. The Status LED is on when there is communication between the iControl servers and the iControl box. The LAN LED blinks rapidly when there is communication between the router and the iControl box.The iControl System What Kind of Broadband do I need? The iControl System will work with any broadband connection that does not have a high amount of latency. Unfortunately this means that most Satellite brroadband connections will not work with the iControl System. When I tried using QuikControl why didnt anything happen? When you select an action with QuikControl, a dialog box tells you how long it will take for the change to occur. Usually this time is between 30 seconds to 3 minutes, depending on a number of factors, including how recently your gateway communicated with the iControl server. During the indicated time window, the iControl servers receive your request, communicate with your iControl box, and then initiate the local devices to act. Finally, your Summary page is updated with the new settings or status. This
Printed Documentation whole process may take a few minutes, and you may need to update your Summary page by clicking refresh to see that the desired action has taken place.How can I tell my iControl box is communicating with the iControl servers? When looking at the System tab on the iControl portal, a green dot should appear next to Gateway. If the dot is red, make sure that the iControl box is connected to your router via an Ethernet cable and check that the iControl box has power. (The Power LED on the front panel of the iControl box is green when it has power). Next, check to see if your router and DSL or cable modem are working, and make sure that you have access to the Internet. If you can browse the Internet, your modem and Internet connection are working. Refresh your browser window and log in if necessary. If the dot is still red, reset your iControl box by pressing the reset button on the back of the box (it is recessed, you may need a paperclip in order to do this). If the problem persists, contact support@icontrol.com. What do I do if I cant see the device I just installed? Click on the System tab and see if there is a red dot next to the devices name in the System window. If so, confirm that the device type and ID are entered correctly. Click on the devices name, and then look on the right hand side of the resulting page. There will be a field labeled ID, the number in this field should match the Serial Number (S/N) printed on the label of the device.What should I do if my device just seems to keep installing the dot is still yellow? 1. Confirm that the device is plugged in (if it has a power supply). 2. Confirm that the device type and ID shown on the Device page match the type and serial number of the actual device. (Go to your System tab and click on a device name to bring up the Device page.). 3. Activate the device. If it is a Motion sensor, wave your hand in front of it to force it to communicate its status. If it is a Door/Window sensor, open and close the door. If it is a Keychain Remote, press a button. For Water and Freeze sensors, apply water or ice. For a CO detector or Smoke/Heat sensor, press the Test button. For a Panic pendant or wristwatch, press the Panic button. Then wait a few moments for your iControl box to discover the device and change the dot to green. 4. If it is a camera, see Section 10.4, About your Camera, or visit the related FAQ.5. Confirm that your iControl box has a green dot next to it. If it does not, unplug and plug back in the power supply to the iControl box. Wait a few minutes for the System to restore itself. You will see the devices details, including its type and ID. Make sure that the type and ID match those for
Indexthe device itself. Chapter 8 and Appendix C provide detailed information on how to accurately enter the correct device type and ID. NotificationsWhy did I unexpectedly receive an iWatch Exception notification as an email or SMS? You may have set an iWatch Monitor notification at some point in the past. This creates a notification to have a message sent to you when something does NOT happen. You can see your notifications by clicking on the Notifications tab in the iControl Portal.CameraWhat do I need for my wireless Camera to work? The wireless camera uses an 802.11 connection to connect with the iControl Gateway. This means that if you purchase an iControl wireless camera, you will need an existing wireless router in order to supply a wireless network.My Camera is out of focus. What do I do? Follow the instructions in Section 8.2.9 of the User Manual, Focusing Your Camera. What if my camera hasnt been discovered and has a yellow dot next to it? Please see the troubleshooting steps in the next question.What do I do if I cant see any images or video from the camera I just installed? Follow these steps: 1. Make sure that power is connected to the camera via the Axis power supply, and if it is a wired camera, that the camera is connected to your router with an Ethernet cable. 2. Verify that the Serial Number of the physical camera matches the Serial Number attempting to be discovered by the system. To do this, go to the System tab in the iControl Portal and click on the camera that is attempting to install. On the right is a number labeled ID. This number should match the S/N on the back of camera. If these do not match, and there are other cameras in your system, check to see if the ID matches one of those. If the ID and the S/N numbers dont
Printed Documentation match and this is your only camera, perform a replace operation on the left panel.3. If none of the above steps have solved the problem, perform a factory reset of the camera. To factory reset the camera perform the following steps:oDisconnect power to the camera. oDepress and hold the button on the back of the camera. oWhile holding the button, connect power to the camera. Continue to hold the button. oHold the button until the LED ring on the front of the camera turns amber.oWait until the LED ring turns solid green. The camera is now reset to factory settings. oWait one to three minutes for the camera to be discovered by your iControl System. 4. If the problem continues, contact support@icontrol.com. How do I use WEP (Wireless Equivalent Privacy) on my Wireless camera? See Section 8.2.1 in the iControl User Manual for more details. What is the cameras resolution? The iControl Camera takes pictures at 640x480 and all video are presented at 320x240 or 640x320 depending upon your preference.Door/Window Sensor What should I do if my Door/Window sensor has a red dot next to it on the System page of my iControl Portal? Try the following steps, in this order: 1. Open and close the window or door that it is mounted on. Wait a few moments and see if the dot turns green. Repeat once, if necessary. 2. If the problem persists, confirm that the devices type and ID are correctly entered in the System. Why does my Door/Window sensor always report itself as open? 1. The sensor may be installed incorrectly, verify that the arrows on the sensor and the sensor magnets are aligned.
Index2. Re-position the sensor and the sensor magnet so that the space between them is smaller. There needs to be a magnetic field between the two pieces, and they may be too far apart. Wait a few moments to see if the dot turns green. If the problem persists, re-position the sensors again. How far away can I install my iControl Door/Window sensor from the iControl box? 100 feet.Keychain Remote What are the default actions of the buttons? See Section 8.6 in the iControl Users Manual.The Keychain Remote is doing something it is not supposed to do. What should I do? Click on the Automations tab. For each Keychain Remote, you will see the settings for each button. You may have re-configured the buttons to change their function. My Keychain Remote isnt doing anything. I press buttons repeatedly. The Keychain Remote needs a few moments to communicate via infrared with your iControl box. When you press a button, hold it for a second or two, the LED on the Keychain Remote should turn green and then after about one minute, your System initiates the action you wish.Why doesnt my Keychain Remote lamp button doesnt turn the lamp on or off?Pressing the Light button on the Keychain Remote 4-button version alternately sends Light Button On and Light Button Off signals to your iControl System. So if you use the Keychain Remote Light button to turn your lights on, then the next signal the Keychain Remote Light button will send is Light Button Off. However, you may not experience the desired result. If, for example after turning the lights on with the Keychain Remote Light button you turn the lights off manually, using QuikControl, or with an automation or schedule, then pressing the Keychain Remote Light button will send the Light Button Off signal and no change will occur. Pressing the Light button a second time will send the Light Button On signal, and the lights will turn on.
Printed Documentation I used the Keychain Remote and the light level is different now. Why? A Light Button On signal will always turn (or leave) the lights on to full brightness and a Light Button Off signal will always turn (or leave) the lights off, irrespective of the brightness level of the lamp when the signal is received.If I buy another Lamp module, can my Keychain Remote control it? Yes. The Keychain Remote that comes with your Starter Kit is configured from the factory to control the Lamp module that comes with the kit. If you purchase additional Lamp modules or Keychain Remotes, you will need to add an automation to enable the Keychain Remote to turn on or off existing or newly purchased Lamp modules. Powerline Lamp Module Shipped with version 1 systems only.My lamp module isnt installing, what should I do? There are four things to try in this situation. 1. Check the outlet youve plugged the lamp module in to. Make sure that it is working correctly and isnt controlled by a switch. 2. Check if your iControl gateway is currently receiving its power from a UPS (uninterruptible power supply) or a power strip with surge protection. If it is plug it in directly to a wall outlet or power strip without surge protection. 3. Check the ID on the lamp module and make sure it matches the one installed on your system. oTo do this, look at the label on the back side of the lamp module, the physical ID is printed below the second bar code and is 12 characters long. This ID should match the one that is listed on the iControl Portal for your device. It can be viewed by logging onto your portal, clicking on System Tab and clicking on the lamp module youre troubleshooting. If the ID listed is not the same as the one on the devices label, you can click on the replace button, and enter the ID of the lamp module you have in your kit (12 digits, no punctuation).4. If none of the above solves the problem, try connecting the lamp module to another circuit in your house. What kinds of lights can I use the Lamp module with?
IndexYou can use it on any light that uses a 40-watt to 300-watt incandescent light bulb. It does not work with fluorescent light bulbs or incandescent light bulbs less than 40 watts or greater than 300 watts.Can I use it on a lamp wired into a 3-way or 4-way wall switch? No.Can I use a 3-way light? No.Can I plug a Lamp module into an uninterruptible power supply (UPS)? No, the iControl Lamp Module does not work properly when plugged into a UPS. Can I plug a Lamp module into a power strip with a surge protector or into a surge protector? No, the iControl Lamp module does not work properly when plugged into such a power supply.How far away can I install a Lamp module from the iControl box? 100 feet.What does the black button on the bottom of the Lamp module do? It is used for iControl testing purposes only.Motion Sensor How do I test that a Motion Sensor is covering the area I hope it does monitor?Follow these steps to do a walk test: 1. Remove your Motion sensor from the mounting plate, then re-attach it. 2. Walk across the room, and wait for the Motion sensor light to turn red. 3. Stop, stand still, and wait for the Motion sensor light to turn off. 4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3, until the entire monitored area has been tested.
Printed Documentation 5. Leave the room for at least 60 seconds. After 60 seconds without motion, the walk test mode time expires. After the walk test is finished, the light on the Motion sensor no longer activates when motion is detected. Why doesnt the motion sensor detect when I leave the room and come back?The Motion Sensor has a built in four-minute delay. If after four minutes, it has not detected motion, it changes from Occupied to Empty. If motion occurs during that four-minute period, it remains in an Occupied state, as reported on the Summary Pages Current States window. If motion occurs after the four-minute window, it changes from Empty to Occupied as shown in the Current States window and a new alarm is generated in the Alarm History window.Will the Motion Sensor sense my pets? The Motion Sensor cannot detect pets weighing less than 40 pounds. This also means that it will not sense children weighing less than 40 pounds. However, in some cases, pets and children will trip the Motion sensor if they walk very close to the sensor itself.Why is there nothing in the picture that was taken as a result of the motion detector being activated? The Motion sensor has a 2 - 3 second delay before communicating with the iControl box. The camera may miss the person walking through the cameras field of view. The remedy is to reposition the camera and Motion sensor to account for this delay. For example, point the camera along a corridor that takes a couple of seconds to traverse, and position the motion sensor so that motion is detected as the person enters that corridor.How far away can I install my iControl Motion sensor from the iControl box?100 feet.ThermostatWhat type of system will the iControl thermostat work with? The iControl thermostat is an HAI single stage heating and cooling thermostat. It has 5-wires, and requires 24 volts of AC power. Generally your existing thermostat should have 3 to 5 wires connected to it in order for our thermostat to be compatible. The iControl thermostat is known to not work with
