Operating Instructions

Arming and Disarming Modes

Your AGSHOME alarm system offers several modes to suit your security needs:

• HOME Mode: Activates perimeter sensors (e.g., door/window sensors) while allowing free movement within the home.
• AWAY Mode: Activates all connected sensors. Use this mode when no one is present in the home.
• DISARMED Mode: All sensors are inactive, and the alarm will not trigger.

You can switch between these modes using the Smart Life app or the remote controls.

When a sensor is triggered while the system is in an armed mode (HOME or AWAY), the integrated 120dB siren will activate. Simultaneously, you will receive an instant notification on your smartphone via the Smart Life app, alerting you to the event.
