Step F: Adding Sensors to the Security System
A MAXIMUM of six IP cameras and 47 ZigBee devices are supported for the system. Zig-
Bee devices consist of anything that communicates with the TouchScreen over radio
frequency, such as door/window sensors, lighting devices, thermostats, panel interface
devices, key pads, and key fobs and smoke detectors.
Once a sensor or peripheral has been paired to a TouchScreen, it MUST be deleted from
that TouchScreen before it can be paired to a different TouchScreen. When a sensor is
deleted from a TouchScreen, it is automatically reset to factory defaults and is placed in
Search mode, ready to be paired with another TouchScreen. It is possible to pair a
device to a second TouchScreen without deleting it from the original, but this could
result in the paired device not being registered in the server databases. This situation is
most often encountered in lab environments where TouchScreens and
sensors/peripherals are often swapped back and forth on a regular basis.
Sensors are devices that do one of the following:
Monitor the opening and closing of doors or windows
Detect motion
Monitor the nearby sound of breaking glass
Detect smoke and heat
Detect the presence of carbon monoxide
IMPORTANT:
If you need to update the firmware on any sensor before adding it to the security
system, you must reset the sensor to factory defaults before adding it to the
OpenHome Converge system. This is essential so that it can receive the necessary
changes to communicate with the TouchScreen.
Note:
This step can be performed after Activation.
