5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Arming and Disarming
- **Arm (Away Mode)**: Activates all sensors. Ideal when no one is home.
- **Stay Arm (Home Mode)**: Activates perimeter sensors (e.g., door/window sensors) while allowing movement inside.
- **Disarm**: Deactivates all sensors.
- **SOS**: Triggers an immediate emergency alarm.
These modes can be activated via the touchscreen panel, mobile app, or RFID card (if configured).
5.2 Using the Mobile App
The Tuya Smart or Smart Life app allows for remote control and monitoring of your security system.
- **Remote Arm/Disarm**: Change the system status from anywhere.
- **Notifications**: Receive real-time alerts for triggered alarms, low battery, etc.
- **Device Management**: Add, remove, or configure sensors and other connected devices.
- **Automation/Smart Scenes**: Create rules for devices to interact (e.g., camera records when motion is detected).
5.3 Integrating with Smart Camera (Example Automation)
You can set up smart scenes to link your security system with a compatible smart camera (e.g., Tuya camera).
- Ensure your smart camera is connected to the same Tuya app.
- In the app, go to "Smart" > "Create Scene".
- Under "Set a condition", select "When device status changes".
- Choose your "smart camera" and select "Alarm" > "motion detection".
- Under "Set up task", select "Run the device".
- Choose your "Alarm Host" and select "Device Mode" > "SOS".
- Save the automation. Now, if the camera detects motion, the alarm host will trigger an SOS alarm.
