HouseControl alarm messages have a certain format to which all alarm channels adhere to. Each alarm
message contains the name of the HouseControl unit (e.g. “Home”), the alarm channel number (e.g.
“IN2”), a plus for activation or a minus sign for deactivation of the alarm channel, the reason for the
alarm, and some additional information about the alarm if available (e.g. temperature value).
Some examples of text messages your HouseControl might send to you:
Home IN2:+ Burglar alarm
Home IN11:+ Power failure 230V
Home IN16:+ Temperature alarm T2: +9.4 Indoor 1
HouseControl might send you a text message on deactivation of the alarm as well (notice the minus after
the colon):
Home IN11:- Power 230V OK
Home IN16:- Temperature T2: +17.4 Indoor 1 OK
1.2.2 Burglar Alarm

alarm from this motion sensor after a delay so that you have plenty of time to switch monitoring off from
the security keypad when coming home, thus effectively avoiding an erroneous alarm.
HouseControl sends you a text message and makes an alarm phone call if someone breaks your front or
back door while monitoring is on. In addition, burglar alarm causes the local alarm siren to on, and yard
