With Rules, your TELUS SmartHome Security system can activate
certain functions based on other events.
Rules
TELUS SmartHome Security sheds a whole new light on your evening walks
— literally. Now when you open the front door at nighttime, your entry lights
automatically turn on.
Example Rule—Automatic entry lights
Let’s set up a Rule that turns on your entry lights when the front door opens.
1. Access the web portal
2. Click Automation
3. Click Add New Rule and select Event-triggered Rule
4. Under Automate My, select Lights
5. Under When this event occurs, select Sensor Activity
6. Use the drop-down menus to select Front Door and Opens (you can
change most device names in the Devices menu under Settings)
7. Under Perform this action, select how long you would like the lights
to turn on for
8. Under Select Devices, click to select which lights you’d like to turn on.
We recommend your entryway lights, hall lights or front door lights
9. Under During This Time Frame, select to specify when the Rule will
be active. For this example, let’s choose Only after Sunset
10. Verify the Rule is configured with the correct settings, name the Rule,
and click Save
Other Rules can be set to activate based on your location — for instance,
your thermostat turns itself up when you leave work. To activate location-based Rules,
we need to first enable Geo-Services and create a Geo-Fence.
