Managing Your iControl Devices
within about 70 minutes. If you want to activate it more quickly, open and close the door
or window once. You do not have to press any buttons on the iControl box to install the
sensor; the iControl System installs it automatically.
Using Your Door/Window Sensor
You can check the status of your Door/Window sensor in the Status window or the Alarm
History window on your iControl Summary page.
The Status window lists the current states of all devices installed in your iControl System.
In the following illustration, the Door/Window sensor is named ‘Mailbox Door/Window
Sensor’. Its current state is ‘Open’. This Door/Window sensor recognizes that the
Mailbox Door is open. A Door/Window sensor has two states: ‘Open’ and ‘Closed’.
When it is open, there is a yellow triangle
to the left of its name, indicating an alarm
condition.
Mailbox Door/Window Sensor open
The Alarm History window displays the status of a device if the device generated a recent
alarm. The following illustration shows the Alarm History window after the Mailbox has
been opened a few times. You now have a record of when the Mailbox was opened. If
you set up an automation to take a picture when the Mailbox is opened, the iControl
System will provide you a picture of who opened the Mailbox.
