This solution explains how AutoPilot™ security can be used to secure any location and space created in AutoPilot™ server. It forms part of a broader guide on managing and using AutoPilot which can be found here.

Any sensor type devices connected to AutoPilot server can be used to trigger an alarm state through AutoPilot security.

Alarm Condition specifies which devices causes AutoPilot security to trigger an alarm state while armed. **** This page allows sensors to be added from any space created in AutoPilot server, and determine what state causes an alarm to happen.

Alarm Action decides what actions are performed when the alarm from AutoPilot security is triggered. A notification to any email, AutoPilot automation shortcut, or controllable devices can be activated during any specific security state:

Alarm – determine what happens when AutoPilot security goes into an alarm state.

Delay alarm – sets a delay before an alarm event happens between 1 – 1800 seconds and determines what happens during the delayed alarm state.

Arming – determine what happens when AutoPilot security gets armed.

Disarming – determine what happens when AutoPilot security gets disarmed.

Clear – determine what happens when AutoPilot security alarm state is cleared.

Advanced settings – Allows you to set how often the alarm event repeats.

(Dis)-arm by Time uses the schedule to define when the system is automatically armed and disarmed. Insert time periods in which the system is armed. The system is disarmed in all nonselected periods.

(Dis)-arm by Device Determine which device you use to arm and disarm the system.

This section will provide you a step by step method to utilizing AutoPilot security.
