ALARMS
In the case of an alarm, HouseControl sends a text message to the first five phone numbers in
the phone directory (locations 1 – 5). In some alarm cases, HouseControl makes a phone call
and sounds the siren as well. Some alarms are only sent to the phone number in directory
location 1. Take this into account when deciding on the main user.
HouseControl sets the alarm off automatically after 24 hours or you can set the alarm off by
sending command ALARM OFF or ALARM ON to your HouseControl.
What to do if HouseControl sends an alarm?
It is recommended that you make an agreement with your neighbor or with a service provider
for what to do in case of an alarm. If you are away on holiday, your neighbor is usually nearby
your house to check if everything is okay. Your neighbor can call help if needed. You can also
check the situation at home by taking a picture with remote camera.
The most important alarms are sounded by the siren. The siren will go off in 30 seconds, but it
can be silenced at once by pressing the left-hand side switch at the bottom of your
HouseControl. The siren can also be silenced by bringing the proximity tag near the security
keypad (operating mode does not change).
The table below contains the alarm settings for your HouseControl. The last three columns
show in what modes the alarms are at all possible.

HouseControl keeps calling until someone answers or 2 hours passes. HouseControl will wait
20 seconds for your answer. If you have an answering service enabled in your own GSM
subscription, you need to make sure the service does not answer the call in those 20 seconds.
