EXAMPLE
If you want the control panel to activate “Scenario 3: Switch On the perimeter lights and
confirm the operation via SMS text.” For an operation of this type, proceed as follows:
1. “SMS Text” - choose the desired description, for example “Night mode”

where “123456” stands for the User's PIN and this message is sent to the number of the SIM
card of the Nexus, the control panel will carry out the requested operations and will send an
SMS message of confirmation to the mobile phone of the caller who dispatched the command.
