Your iControl Personal Web Portal
Explained
After 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.

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. You can set the desired mode by
clicking on the ‘Mode’ button in the blue menu bar. You can also change the mode
through schedules. For example, you can schedule your System to go into Sleep mode at
11PM each night. Or, you can press the ‘Lock’ button on your Keychain Remote to
change the mode to Away.
To change the mode via your iControl Summary page, follow these steps:
1. Click on the ‘Mode’ button in the blue menu bar. You will see a drop-down
menu which shows the current mode marked with a green arrow.
Printed Documentation
2. Select the mode in which you wish to put your iControl System by clicking
on Home, Sleep, or Away. After choosing the mode, you will see a new
window appear indicating when the change will take effect.
To change the mode from your Keychain Remote:
1. Press and hold the ‘Lock’ or ‘Unlock’ button on your Keychain Remote.
You need to hold the button for one to two seconds until the LED flashes,
indicating the command was sent. The change will take effect in a few
moments. The range of the Keychain Remote is 100 feet, so you can use
it within 100 feet of your iControl box.
2. By pressing the ‘Lock’ button, you can change to Away mode, and by
pressing the ‘Unlock’ button you can change to Home mode, as shown in
the following image:
Note: For more information on how to change these default settings and use the other
buttons on your Keychain Remote, see Your Keychain Remote.
Updates Button
The Updates button shows the latest changes you have made to your iControl
System. The updates that are shown in this window are:
xTemperature, mode, and fan setting changes on any thermostats
xQuikControl commands to take a picture
xQuikControl commands to change the brightness level or turn on or off
any lighting controlled by a Lamp module
xChanges to the System mode
The following screen shows examples of these updates.
1. Click on the QuikControl button.
2. Place your cursor over the device you wish to control to open the
QuikControl window.
3. Select the change you want to occur such as ‘Lamp Set Brightness Level’
or ‘Take a picture’.
Printed Documentation
4. Click the ‘Close’ button in the window. The iControl System automatically
estimates how long it will take the change to occur. In this example, the
change will take one minute or less.
History
Your iControl History window records and reports all of the notifications generated;
automations, schedules, and alarms triggered; pictures taken; and mode and device-status
changes that occurred in the last 30 days (or the last hour, day, or week). The History

change categories freely. Furthermore, in the All category, you can select to view only
events pertaining to a single device.
Click here to filter by device.

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.
Printed Documentation
2. To log in to your router to find the SSID, Security mode, and encryption
key, you will need the router's username and password. Check your
router's manual, as you may have recorded the username and password
there. Or, you may have used the default username and password
provided in the router's manual. Some manufacturers use admin as the
default username or password and leave the other item blank.
3. Obtain the WEP key and Security mode for your network. Here is an
example of a page from a Linksys wireless router showing the information
you need to gather. Consult your router manual for more details on how to
access this information within the router's setup pages.
Click here to find your SSID.
SSID here is ‘iControl’. As a home user, you may have created a name. Consult your IT person for the SSID in a
business.
4. While still in your router’s administration pages, access your SSID.

letters and numbers next to the letters ‘TX’.
Managing Your iControl Devices
7. Click on the ‘Add’ button. You will be returned to the System window and
your newly-added CO detector will appear in the list of devices.
8. Next, physically install the device by simply plugging the sensor in to any
wall outlet. Once installed, the green Power LED comes on immediately. If
it does not, check that the outlet is not controlled by a wall switch—
iControl recommends using an outlet not controlled by a wall switch, as
this may result in the device being inadvertently turned off.
The iControl box discovers the CO detector within about 70 minutes of its initial
installation. As soon as your System ‘sees’ your Carbon Monoxide detector, the yellow
dot adjacent to its name on your System page will turn green. If the yellow dot next to the
name of the alarm does not turn green, repeat the installation process, making sure to
enter the correct device type and ID.
After installation, test the device by pressing the ‘Test/Reset’ button. The device should
chirp loudly and the red LED should flash red. You should also see an alarm in the Alarm
History window on your Summary page.
Note:The CO detector should not be used as a smoke or fire detector and is not suitable
for installation in hazardous locations, as defined by public building codes.
To operate properly, a CO detector needs to be placed with the following considerations
in mind:
xPlace within 100 feet of your iControl box.
Printed Documentation
xThe CO detector is for indoor use only.
xDo not install the device above or below heating vents, above cooking
surfaces, or within five feet of open flames; next to windows, exterior
doors, or in locations where furniture or draperies may block the unit; or
near automobile exhaust pipes.
xThe device only measures the carbon monoxide levels at its installed
location. Dangerous gas levels could still be present in other areas.
Using Your Carbon Monoxide Detector
Once you have installed a Carbon Monoxide detector in your location, it will appear on
the Summary page of your personal web portal. The status of your CO detector in the
Current States area of your Status window will be either ‘OK’ or ‘Alarm’.
When CO rises to dangerous levels, the CO detector will sound in your location and you
will see ‘Alarm’ and a yellow alarm-condition triangle beside the device in the Current
States area of your Status window, as well as an alarm in the Alarm History window.
Note: If the reset button is pressed within 15 seconds of the initial alarm, the CO detector
will not transmit the alarm signal to the iControl box.
You can have a notification sent to you when the alarm triggers. For details on how to
add a notification, see Notifications.

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.
To control the Lamp module from your personal web portal:
1. Click on the ‘QuikControl’ button in the blue menu bar.
2. From the QuikControl drop-down menu, select the appropriate Lamp
module.
3. In the ‘Set Brightness Level’ drop-down menu, select the desired

Mounting your Motion Sensor
Now you can physically install your Motion sensor. 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.
For details on how to create automations, see Automations.
You can also use your Motion sensor with notifications. Here are a couple of examples:
Printed Documentation
xAdd a Custom notification such that when a Motion sensor detects
movement, an email or SMS message is sent to one or more people.
xAdd an iWatch notification such that if the Motion sensor remains in the
‘Empty’ state, a notification is sent. You may have a store that should
open at 9AM, and if no one is present inside the store to manage it, you
can receive a notification with a custom message that alerts you that the
store is not staffed.

Automations
Automations
Automations link a change in one device with the action of another device. For example,
you may program an iControl camera to take a picture if a Door/Window sensor detects
an open door. You can create any number of automations and specify in which modes
they will operate.
Sample Automations Window
Here is a sample Automations window taken from an iControl System that has
automations for a Motion sensor, a Door/Window sensor, and a Keychain Remote.
An automation consists of a change in one device (called a ‘trigger’) and the resulting
action of another device. Devices such as Door/Window sensors, Keychain Remotes, and
Motion sensors trigger when a door is opened, a button on a Keychain Remote is pressed,
or a room is occupied. These devices can cause actions such as a camera taking a picture
or a Lamp module turning lights on or off.
As suggested by the sample Automation window, there is a range of features to choose
from in designing your automations. The following bullets and screen shots provide
illustrative examples of the kinds of automations you can create.
Printed Documentation

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
Evening
To 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:

No. We do not recommend using uninterruptible power supplies or surge protectors.
Index
What 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
Index
the device itself. Chapter 8 and Appendix C provide detailed information
on how to accurately enter the correct device type and ID.
Notifications
Why 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.
Camera
What 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.
Index
2. 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?
Index
You 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.
Thermostat
What 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
Index
xheat-pump systems
xradiant or baseboard heat, since these are often 120v or 240v systems.
xTwo wire systems, these are generally analog and do not supply enough
power to work with the iControl Thermostat.
