5. Using the Keypad
5.1 Keypad Mode Introduction
The Keypad features four security modes, each associated with a specific button:
- Away mode (person walking icon): Press to activate Away mode. All sensors are activated, and your house is monitored. The system is armed, and any movement will trigger an alarm. Recommended for when you are away from home.
- Home mode (house icon): Press to activate Home mode. Interior sensors are disabled, while exterior sensors are activated. Recommended for when you are at home and want to be alerted about outside break-ins.
- Customized mode (CUS icon): Press to activate Customized mode. Recommended if you need a specific security setup to match your life requirements.
- Disarmed mode (OFF icon): Press to disarm the system. No sensors are activated, leaving your house unmonitored.
Arm, Disarm and Turn off an Alarm:
- To arm the system, enter the access code and press the 'Away' or 'Home' button.
- To disarm the system, enter the access code and press the 'OFF' button.
- To turn off an alarm, enter the access code and press '√'. The ongoing alarm will be turned off, and the device's security mode will remain unchanged. Alarms of all devices connected to HomeBase will be turned off.
5.2 Set Customized Security Mode
To set a customized security mode using the eufy Security app:
- Open the Keypad homepage in the app.
- Tap the 'Security' tab.
- Tap the 'Modes' tab and then tap 'Customize' to add your personalized settings.
- Follow the on-screen instructions to define the actions of sensors. When the customized mode is activated, the sensors will act as defined in the app.
- Go to the Keypad homepage, tap 'Button Allocation', and assign the customized mode to the 'CUS' button.
For example, a 'Sleep Mode' can be customized where only certain sensors are monitored and alarms are triggered. When the 'CUS' button is pressed, 'Sleep Mode' will be activated.
Switch between Away / Home / Customized / Disarmed modes:
- Enter the access code (optional setting on the eufy Security app).
- Press the 'Away', 'Home', or 'CUS' button to switch to the corresponding mode.
Note: An access code is recommended when switching from Away to Disarm, but it is not necessary otherwise.
6. Device Bypass
Device bypass means the system will ignore faulty sensors for a specific time while the system is armed.
When switching to Home, Away, or any customized security mode, the system checks for issues with all devices. You may need to bypass a particular sensor in the following scenarios:
- You want to leave a sensor off while the system is armed (e.g., leaving a window open while arming the system).
- A sensor malfunctions, and you don't have time to deal with it.
- A sensor is not connected to the HomeBase and cannot be detected.
If any issues are detected, the 'X' and '√' keypad buttons will flash simultaneously. You may need to:
- Select '√' to bypass faulty devices. Then you can switch to the desired mode.
- Select 'X' to cancel the operation. If canceled, you cannot switch the current security mode.
Note:
- Each time you switch the security mode, the system re-checks whether your devices are working properly.
- Ensure there is at least one active sensor in a mode that can arm the system, or you cannot switch the security mode.
7. Panic Alarm
The Panic alarm can be used in an emergency. To trigger an emergency alarm, press and hold the Panic button for 3 seconds. Once triggered, the LED indicator blinks red quickly for 3 seconds, the alarm from HomeBase will be heard, and text notifications will be sent to the user/administrator via the eufy Security app and email.
