6. Home Automation and PGM
Home Automation is an optional feature that requires an add-on expansion module.
Home Automation enables you to control up to 16 individual lights and appliances
around the home, in this section; we shall refer to these lights and appliances as HA
units and PGM output. The PGM is a programmable output that is triggered according
to specific system status conditions, or by remote command sent via PSTN, GSM,
Ethernet, keyfob, keypad, or Remote Programmer.
HA units and the PGM programmable output can be controlled (using the keypad and
keyfobs, remotely by telephone or SMS) or programmed to react to specific system status
conditions. For example, an HA unit can be programmed to switch on when the system
is armed or when a specific zone is triggered. Additionally, the Randomize feature is
designed to switch lights on and off at night when the system is armed. This gives
potential intruders the impression that the house is occupied.
Scheduling options enable you to program On and Off times for each HA unit. This
feature is found in the main menu. For further information on how to navigate the
menu, refer to Advanced System Operation.
6.1. Keypad Control
Two keys on the keypad enable you to send On and Off commands to HA units, activate
and deactivate the PGM output. How HA/PGM units react to the On command is
determined by the installer in programming.
The HA/PGM unit can be programmed to switch on until the Off command is received
or automatically switch itself off after a pre-programmed amount of time.

1. Press the On key
