A message about malfunctions detected as a result of an integrity check when arming a house/object is displayed in the My Homes section. Read more about integrity checking in article.

1. Fault reporting

Faults grouped by sensor type and room. Specific sensors are not specified. For the controller, all detected faults are displayed.

Message about malfunctions

**Example:** If there are several opening sensors of the same type in one room (for example, “Sensor 1”, “Sensor 2”, “Sensor 3”) and all of them have a low battery, the system will display a common message: **Open sensor:** – Battery low

The message with a list of faults found during the integrity check disappears from the section My Homesas soon as you close the window or press one of the buttons Arm or Cancel.

Before adding a device, give sensors and rooms clear names. It is better to indicate exactly where they are located - for example, “Motion sensor by the window in the living room.” This will help you quickly find the device if it malfunctions.
