4. Operating Instructions
4.1. Arming and Disarming
The system can be armed or disarmed via the main panel, remote controls, or the Smart Life/Tuya App.
- Arm: Activates all sensors. Any triggered sensor will sound the alarm and send notifications.
- Stay Arm: Activates perimeter sensors (e.g., door/window sensors) while allowing free movement inside.
- Disarm: Deactivates the alarm system.
You can also set up automatic arming and disarming schedules through the app to suit your daily routine.
Figure 4.1: Set the arm, disarm, stay arm, and SOS functions on the app. The system will automatically start these functions based on your schedule.
4.2. SOS Function
The system includes a one-click SOS function. When activated, the alarm system immediately sends a distress signal to your pre-set contacts (family members, neighbors, or local authorities). This ensures rapid response in emergencies.
Figure 4.2: The system supports 5 preset alarm calls, ensuring no alarm information is missed. If one line is busy, it dials the next reserved number.
Figure 4.3: The SOS button is user-friendly, allowing elderly individuals and children to easily send a reminder if unexpected events occur.
4.3. App Alerts and Voice Intercom
Receive instant push notifications and phone calls directly to your smartphone whenever motion is detected or sensors are triggered. The integrated HD camera allows you to view live situations.
Figure 4.4: When someone attempts to enter your house and a door sensor or PIR detector is activated, you will receive phone messages and calls, in addition to app push alerts.
The system also supports two-way voice intercom through the app, allowing you to communicate through the camera. This feature can be used to deter intruders or communicate with family members.
4.4. Voice Control (Alexa/Google)
The PGST security system is compatible with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant. You can arm or disarm your system using simple voice commands.
Figure 4.5: The system supports voice control via Alexa and Google Assistant, making it convenient to arm or disarm your home.
5. Maintenance
- Battery Check: Regularly check the battery status of all wireless sensors via the app or directly on the devices. Replace batteries as needed to ensure continuous operation.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the main panel, camera, and sensors. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.

6. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| System not connecting to Wi-Fi | Incorrect Wi-Fi password; 5GHz network used; too far from router. | Ensure correct 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network and password. Move closer to router or use a Wi-Fi extender. Re-attempt network configuration as per Section 3.4. |
| Sensors not triggering alarm | Low battery; improper installation/alignment; sensor out of range. | Check sensor batteries. Re-align magnetic contacts for door/window sensors. Ensure motion sensor has a clear view. Re-pair sensor with the main panel if necessary. |
| False alarms | Motion sensor triggered by pets or drafts; sensor malfunction. | Adjust motion sensor sensitivity or reposition to avoid false triggers. Check for loose wiring or damage to sensors. |
| Camera not showing live feed | Network connectivity issues; camera power issue; app glitch. | Check camera's power supply and Wi-Fi connection. Restart the camera and the app. Ensure sufficient network bandwidth. |
| SOS button not syncing/working | Pairing issue; low battery. | Ensure the SOS button is properly paired with the main panel. Check and replace its battery. Verify pre-set contacts in the app. |
