Setting up a house/object under protection

The RiDom system provides several ways to arm a house/object, depending on the user’s role.

For mobile users (has access to the mobile application):

• via mobile app

For local users (without access to the mobile application) using:

• key fob or keyboard

More details about user roles in the RiDom system are in article.

1. Via mobile application

The mobile user must have permission to disarm and arm. Learn more about [how to set up permissions for users](https://wiki.ridom.ru/books/frequently-asked-questions/page/where-to-configure-system-integrity-check).

1. In the section My Homes select the desired house and click on the icon .

2. Select premises for security:

• All premises – click Arm all premises . All switches will turn green.
• One or more rooms - turn on the switch for the desired room.

3. After clicking on for all rooms or enable for selected rooms, the system will check depending on the settings System integrity checks. More on how to set up verification.

By default, **System integrity checks** is disabled.

• If checking is Enabled – the controller and sensors will be checked according to the specified rules.
• If the check is Off – the system will check the sensors and controller, generate a list of faults and immediately proceed to arming the house/object.
• Opening sensors are always checked. If a window or door is open, the house/object or premises will not be protected.

When integrity checkis disabled pwhen arming a house/object, two results are possible:

• Successful arming
• Unsuccessful arming

1.1. Successful arming

The house/object is successfully armed when:

• all rooms in the house/facility or individual ones have a sign
• on the screen My houses – the house card is displayed in green and the sign

Sign successful arming in the interface

##### **1.1.1. Informing users when arming**

Upon successful arming, the system records the event Armed in the log and sends notifications to users - if the settings allowed.

If, as a result of the arming check, malfunctions are identified, the system records the event Armed with malfunctions.

If malfunctions were detected during the security sensor check, you can view the list in [section System status](https://wiki.ridom.ru/books/instructions-in-english/page/dealing-with-faults-when-arming) or [event log](https://wiki.ridom.ru/books/instructions-in-english/page/dealing-with-faults-when-arming). Detected malfunctions do not affect arming in any way since the integrity check of the security system is disabled.

Screen Event log

[More details on how to set up notifications for users](https://wiki.ridom.ru/books/frequently-asked-questions/page/how-to-set-up-notifications-for-users-at-homefacility).

Notifications to mobile users

The user, including the initiator of arming, receives an SMS message and/or push notification – Armed.

If **a mobile user** has SMS notifications, push notifications disabled in their profile settings, or viewing the event log is not available, then they will not receive notifications.

The owner or invited user with the right **Manage users** can enable or disable the receipt of SMS messages for each local user.

Notifications to local users

Local users do not receive SMS messages.

If the user of the home/object, in addition to a local account in the RiDom system, has access to the mobile application, then he will receive an SMS message and/or push notification in accordance with the settings for this user.

1.1.2. Indication on the controller and actuators

When arming is successful, the controller and siren do not make sounds. The keyboard beeps - a single beep. The signal may arrive with a slight delay. The devices do not have color indication.

The sound signal from the keyboard may be delayed, since the keyboard does not communicate with the controller constantly, but at time intervals. The duration of the pause depends on the quality of communication with the controller and the settings - the period of broadcasting. This setting is specified in the firmware and does not change. The maximum pause duration is 2 minutes.

1.2. Unsuccessful arming

House/object NOT is protected due to the lack of rights of the user to arm the house/object.

1. Nothing appears in the event log.
2. Users will not receive any notifications.
3. There is no sound indication on the controller and actuators.

2. From key fob or keyboard

2.1. Keychain: features of use

A user can only have one key fob associated with him. Any mobile user can have one key fob.

The key fob turns on security in all premises that are authorized for the user of the key fob.
Configuring access rights to premises is performed in the mobile application in User Settings. More...

Several key fobs can control one room. If you first armed the room with key fob 1, and then with key fob 2, the controller does not arm the security again. The event **Re-arming** will appear in the log. This is not an error - the security is working correctly.

2.2. Keyboard: features of use

The codes on the keyboard for executing arming commands are linked to the user. Each user (mobile or local) is assigned a specific code in the mobile application and premises available for arming.

Only a mobile user can configure codes for the keyboard: either the owner or another user with the appropriate rights in the mobile application in User Settings.

2.3. How to arm

1. To set premises that are allowed to be armed by key fob and keypad users, follow these steps.

5. The key fob indicator light turns green for 3 s.
6. Controller, keyboard and siren – do not emit sound signals.

If the security sensor is triggered while the exit time is counting down, thenthe security sensor does not send an alarm to the controller.

1. An event is generated in the log - Alarm.
2. Users of the home/facility receive SMS messages and push notifications about alarms.
3. The siren emits a sound depending on the settings made in the mobile application.

3. There is a ban on disarming a house/object outside of the schedule.

For keychain

1. The user does not have the right to put a house/object or premises under protection.
2. There is no connection between the key fob and the controller.

If there is no connection between the controller and the key fob, the indicator light alternates between red and green for 3 seconds after pressing the button.
