AWOW WiFi+RF868 Gateway Hub Work for WiFi Security System
-

Overview

The hub Wi-Fi model is an alarm system that utilizes Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n(2.4GHz).
All sensors are wirelessly connected to the hub. In the event of alarm activation, for example, when a sensor is triggered, a push notification will be sent and an alarm call will be made automatically to all registered users.
The system can be controlled on-site by the remote tag supplied, or remotely from anywhere with SmartLife or Tuya APP.
The hub can connect with up to 20 wireless sensors, 10 remote tags, multiple wireless sirens, and an external siren.
If the building has lost electrical power, the backup battery built in the hub provides power operation for up to 3 hours.

 Placement/Installation

It is advised to install the hub over the ground more than 50 cm, do not install the hub at the corner, because this will affect WiFi and RF signal reception. It is not advised to mount the motion detector or door/window sensor onto metal surfaces as the material can block RF signals between the transmitter and the hub.
Please clean the flat area where you intend to install the sensors. Use a double-sided adhesive to install the motion detector or door/window sensor.

Where to place the hub
Find a spot with a good Wi-Fi signal that should be close to where you come and go so your hub is easy to access on your way in and out.
Choose an outlet that’s not controlled by a switch, so you don’t accidentally turn off the hub. Connect the power cord to the USB port and plug the power adapter into the outlet to power on your hub, then slide the battery switch on.

Door/Window Sensor
Install the detector on the door case (window frame), and attach the magnet to the moving part of the door (window) to the alignment mark of the detector. The magnet should be aligned with the middle of the detector and placed within 0.6 inches (1.5cm) away from the detector when the door or window is closed.

Change Settings via APP

Timer
To edit the schedules for arming/disarming your system automatically at a daily time.

Exit delay
Exit Delay allows you to leave your home once you’ve armed the security system. When you place the system into Away Arm Mode, it makes a count-down tick to let you know that it is preparing to arm. Once the Exit Delay period ends, the system is armed. To give yourself enough time to exit your home before the countdown ends, you can adjust the countdown timing from 0 to 299 seconds.
Entry dela y(You need to choose Zone Mode of the sensor to be Delay) Entry Delay allows you to enter your home and disarm your system while the system is in Away Arm Mode. When you enter your home while the system is in Away Arm Mode, your hub makes a countdown tick to let you know that you have a short time until your alarm goes off. When you hear this, you should disarm your system as soon as possible. You can adjust the countdown timing from 0 to 299 seconds.
Alarm duration
Adjust alarm sound duration from 1 to 59 minutes.
Sensor low battery alarm
Enable to receive a notification when the wireless accessory is low battery.
Countdown with tick tone
Turn countdown tick tone on or off when the hub is during Exit Delay or Entry Delay.
Hub language
Choose local voice prompt and next message language from the hub. (follow the phone or pad system)
Reset
This process resets your hub to factory settings and disconnects all wireless accessories.
Tap Settings > Factory reset in APP or click configuration buttons more than 15 times until the bub sounds a tone, then the hub restarts. The factory reset is now completed.

Change Zone Mode via APP

Each of the sensors is specified a Zone mode, which defines the way in which the system responds to faults in that zone.
In APP, tap Accessories and pick the detector you want to set, then change one Mode from the list described as followings.

Normal: Sensors set to Normal Zone are activated in the Arm (full arm) or HOME
Mode (home/stay/partial arm). We recommend setting door/window sensor to Normal Zone.
24 Hours: Sensors set to 24H Zone will activate the alarm and sounding when triggered, regardless of the alarm status (Armed or Disarmed).
Delay: If sensors set to Delay Zone are triggered, the Hub will sound the alarm after the delay time passed. We recommend setting door sensors with a delay if  they are used as primary entryways.
Home: Sensors set to Home Zone are only activated in Away Arm Mode. If sensors are in Home Arm Mode, these sensors are not armed and will not activate the alarm if triggered.
24 Hours Silent: The mode is the same as 24 Hours but no sound.
Home with delay: It is the same as Home but with Entry Delay in Arm.
To disable the sensor, select Off.
