Introduction 5
Only the most important alarms are made known locally by switching the local alarm siren on. The alarm
condition is further emphasised by flashing yard lights outside the house. The siren is silenced and yard
lights switched off automatically after a few minutes. However, you can turn off the siren and yard lights
immediately from the security keypad if you happen to be at home at the time of the alarm. If you do not
have a security keypad at hand, the same effect can be accomplished by sending text message
#ALARM OFF to your HouseControl.
The unit’s operating mode influences the way alarms are handled. In disable mode, a text message is
sent and an alarm phone call is made only if the alarm was triggered by a 24h monitored control circuit
or if internal 24h monitored information (see Table 1) requires your attention. In normal mode, all alarms
are sent.
1.1.3 Remote Control
You can control room temperatures, close water mains valve, turn off air-conditioning, shut down
electricity, switch on yard lights, or open your garage door by sending a text message to your
HouseControl’s GSM number. HouseControl acknowledges the command with a response message.
HouseControl accepts commands only from those mobile phone numbers that have been added to the
unit’s internal phone directory. This guarantees that no mischievous users can have access to your
HouseControl. You must add at least your own phone number in the unit’s internal phone directory
before you can start using your HouseControl with your mobile phone.
All text message commands and questions must begin with the hash sign (#). You will find this character
from the special characters menu in your mobile phone. HouseControl will reply to the sent command by
confirming the action, or if a value such as temperature was asked, the current value is returned. If
HouseControl did not understand the command or question, it responds with text message: Unknown
command.
You can save the most often used commands in your mobile phone’s memory for easy access. Most
mobile phones prompt you to save text messages after typing them. You will find saved messages from
“My messages” or “Archive” folder as far as Nokia mobile phones are concerned.
