Schedules | Security Command

In Schedules, you can add, edit, and delete schedules.

Schedules enable you to automate tasks, like arming and disarming your location and activating favorites. You can schedule tasks to start and end at specific times, or you can sync schedules with the sunrise and sunset. In a sunset or sunrise schedule, you can offset the tasks to occur up to an hour before or after the sunset or sunrise.

Know Your Schedule Type

If you see Arming, your location offers Single Task Schedules.

If you see Holiday Dates and Area Settings, your location offers Multi-Task Schedules.

Single Task Schedules

Single Task Schedules automate one task per schedule. To automatically arm and disarm, create an Arming Schedule. To automate the activation of favorites, create a Favorite Schedule. To automatically activate and deactivate outputs, create an Output Schedule.

Arming Schedules

Arming Schedules automatically arm and disarm your location and are labeled Arming.

Create an Arming Schedule

Arming Schedules are added to Virtual Keypad by your security provider when your location is installed. You can set the auto-arm and auto-disarm times by editing the schedule.

Multi-Task Schedules

Multi-Task Schedules enable you to automate one or more tasks in one schedule. With one Multi-Task Schedule, you can:

Area Settings

Note: Area Settings apply to all schedules on a location. Changes made to an area in Area Settings affect all schedules that include the area.

Area Settings enable you to choose which areas can automatically arm and disarm when they are included in a schedule. If you disable automatic arming and disarming for an area in Area Settings, the area will not automatically arm and disarm, even if it is included in a schedule.

To edit Area Settings:

Go to Schedules.
Tap Area Settings.
Enable Disarm next to the areas you want to auto-disarm at the scheduled time. Any area that is disabled cannot auto-disarm.
Enable Arm next to the areas you want to auto-arm at the scheduled time. Any area that is disabled cannot auto-arm.
Enable Closing Check (optional).
Tap Save.

Closing Check

Closing Check verifies that all areas of the location are armed at a scheduled end or arm time. You can enable Closing Check in Single-Task Arming Schedules and Area Settings.

If an area is not armed at the scheduled end or arm time, the location emits an alert at the keypad(s) and in Virtual Keypad. If the location is not armed within ten minutes, a Late to Close report is sent to the monitoring center and areas included in auto-arm schedules will automatically arm.
