Combining Actions with Schedules
Schedules can control when a user has access, when an automatic Arm-Disarm
occurs, when devices can be used, and more. Actions can turn Schedules on
and off, making Schedules conditional based on when certain events occur.
The outcome is that we can control Users, Permissions, Areas, Zones, Actions,
Arm-Disarm, Scenes, and Devices, based on various system conditions. This
provides automation features that allows the system to respond in real-time to
changing conditions.
This functionality is achieved by going to that Schedule, and selecting Follow
Action Number.
Take care when combining multiple schedules and actions as troubleshooting
can get confusing. Always check and test functionality a single step at a time.
Users and Zones can have multiple levels of permissions, be sure to check that
each permission level is appropriate at all times.
Example
When a certain user is in the building we can prevent an automatic Arm-Disarm
from occurring.
First program an Action with the conditions you want and the Duration of the
Action if necessary.
Next program Arm-Disarm with a User and Schedule.
Then set the Schedule to Follow Action Number.
When the action events are met, then the Schedule will become active and will
be able to perform an Arm-Disarm at the appropriate time. If the conditions are
not met then the Arm-Disarm will never occur.
