Events Rules and Notifications
This enables you to view events that result from your security system, IP video cameras and automation 
devices (Z-Wave
® devices).
Security events are stored for 90 days, and video events are stored for 90 days or a maximum of 
approximately 100 MB. In either case, older events are deleted to make room for new events.
Setting Up Event Notifications
You can choose which system events will be sent, via email and/or text me\
ssage, to a particular user or 
group of users. 
Before setting up event notifications for “Sensor Open” or “Sensor\
 Close” conditions, ensure a session with 
the security system’s control panel is not active. The best way to ensure this is to log-off of Honeywell Total 
Connect
TM Remote Services, then log in again to setup the event notifications.
Take the time to explore each notification category and become familiar with the event types \
that can trigger 
notifications. Event categories may have expandable sub-categories. Ca\
tegories that are not supported by 
your security system will not appear. Further, the admin category will not appear if the user does not have 
admin rights.
To create a simple notification, follow the steps below:
1. Click “Setup”.
2. Click “Security Icon”.
3. Select type of notification i.e. arming, sensor alarms, sensor open/c\
lose, sensor other, system.
4. Click “+ Notification” then click “Save”.
For example, to send an email/text notification on disarm:
1. Click “Disarm”. 
2. Click “+ Notification”. 
3. Click “Send to” drop down menu, select user or group then click “Save”.

7. Click Save. The “default group” will be notified whenever an AC loss condition occurs.
Sensor Open Event Notification
“Sensor Open” condition (flood) was chosen to notify the user \
or “default group” of users. This type of notification 
might be used when you want to be notified when a security cabinet, sp\
ecial room, flood or other sensed 
condition within the premises occurs. When the “Sensor Open” condition occurs, each membe\
r of the “default 
group” will be notified. A sensor open notification can also be use\
d when you wish to be notified when a door is 
opened, motion sensor is activated, or Z-Wave
® device is activated.

dow appears.
5.   Enter a subject name for the notification. Then from the “Send To” drop-down menu, select the user group 
to notify (ensure the “Enabled” box is checked). Since this is a flood conditio\
n, you would always want to be 
notified. Therefore, at the “Sched/State” drop-down field select “Always”. To add another user group to be 
notified, click “Notification” again and repeat.
6. Repeat for all events that require notifications.
7. Click Save. The “default group” will be notified whenever a flood condition occurs. In another example below, a security system event (AC loss) was chosen to notify the “defau\
lt group” of users. 
When an AC loss occurs, each member of the “default group” will be notified.
1. On the Events, Rules & Notifications bar, click the Setup icon.
2. Pick the event category: Security, Video, Automation, Admin or Timed.
3. From the Security > System event category, choose the event (AC loss) to be notified of.
4. At the right, click “Notification”. The notification info win\
dow appears.

Video Triggered Event Notification
Video images can be triggered and captured through different system events. For example, you can receive a 
video notification on arming, disarming, any system alarms and sensor \
opening including Z-Wave
® devices. 
In the example below, a video camera will detect motion when the security system is armed aw\
ay. Any 
detected motion will be used to trigger a notification to the user or \
“default group” of users. This type of 
notification might be used when you want to be notified if there is motion in a store after hours. When video 
motion occurs, each member of the “default group” will be notified.
1. On the Events, Rules & Notifications bar, click the Setup icon.
2.   Pick the event category: Security, Video, Automation, Admin or Timed.

 group” of users. This 
type of notification might be used when you want to be notified when\
 a child is due home from school by a 
certain time and did not arrive at the home. When the “No Disarm” \
condition occurs (by the specified time), 
each member of the “default group” will be notified.
1. On the Events, Rules & Notifications bar, click the Setup icon.
2.  Pick the event category: Security, Video, Automation, Admin or Timed.
3. From the Security > Arming event category, choose the event (disarmed) to be notified of.

dow appears.
5.     Enter a subject name for the notification. Then from the “Send To” drop-down menu, select the user group 
to notify (ensure the “Enabled” box is checked). Since you want to be notified \
if this event  DOES NOT 
occur, ensure the “Notify me when this event does not occur” is selected.
6. Since this is a time-dependent event, click the “Sched/State Edit”\
 button to setup the schedule.
7. Set the schedule parameters, then click Save.
8.    The “default group” will be notified whenever a disarmed condition DOES NOT occur \
by 4:30 p.m.   
on any weekday.

Scheduled Event Notification
If you want to receive an email and/or text message during certain times of the day, you would create a 
scheduled event notification. 
In this example; when the “High Value Tool Room” is opened during the night shift, a notification will be \
sent to 
the “default group” of users. This type of notification might be used when you wan\

Automation
This section is for Honeywell security products that support Z-Wave® automation devices, such as LYNX Touch 
control systems, the Tuxedo Touch
TM security and home/business controller and the VISTA Automation Module 
(VAM). Z-Wave automation allows control of door locks, lights, outlets, shades and thermostats. In addition t\
o 
manual control of these Z-Wave devices through LYNX Touch control systems, Tuxedo Touch or Honeywell Total 
Connect
TM Remote Services, you can create a “Scene” that would control a group of Z-Wave automation devices 
when a specific condition occurs. Control of Z-Wave automation devices is restricted to users that are granted 
permission as an administrator. Conditions such as arming and disarming a security system can trigger \
a “Scene” 
to be run.
In the next topics we will explore thermostat scheduling and creating an automation scene. Please note that  
whenever you save a created or edited scene, you will receive a temporary pop-up reminder to synchronize your 
panel. This will send the new scene information to the control panel.
Thermostat Scheduling
In order to automate your thermostat, save money and become more energy efficient, Honeywell Total Connect 
offers various options. You may create an energy saving schedule based on your lifestyle or control your 
thermostat through “scenes.” For example, for energy saving mode you would do th\
e following:
1. Click clock icon the scheduling icon will appear. 
2. Click “Load Energy Star Defaults”.
See next section on how to create a “scene”. For example, you can manage your heating and cooli\
ng through 
arming and disarming.
1. Click the clock icon to open the thermostat scheduling.
2. The scheduling window appears.

when you “disarm”. 
1.   Click “Create New”. In the “Scene Name” field, enter the name “Disa\
rm” (for example), click “Icon”.   
2. Click security icon that displays the house.
3. Check box above red thermostat.
4. Click “Save”.
5.   Click the green “Run” button to verify the Z-Wave automation device actions. Make any changes  
as necessary.
6. You must now assign the “scene” that you just created to an “action”.
To assign the “scene” to an action you must do the following.
1. Click on “Events Rules, Notifications”. 
2. Click on “Setup”.
3. Click on security icon.
4. Select what will trigger the scene (i.e. arm/disarm).
5. Select “Trigger Scene”. 
6. Choose appropriate scene from drop down, then click “Save”.
As a second example, here we will use the automation feature to create simple scenes to control your 
automation devices during a vacation. In this scene you want the followi\
ng scenario to take place when you 
leave the premises for a vacation:
»   When you leave, the automatic front and rear door locks will lock
»  The living room light will be dimmed to 80%
»  The kitchen light will be dimmed to 80%
»  The porch light will be dimmed to about 25%
»  The electric porch heater will be set to off
»  The main thermostat will be set back to 62˚ to save energy
To create the vacation scene:
1.   Click “Create New”. Then in the “Scene Name” field, enter the name “\
Vacation”, then choose an icon.
2.   In the device area, ensure the ALL filter is activated so you can see every device. Use the scr\
oll left and 
right arrows if necessary to find the automation device.
3.   Since we want the front and rear door locks in the locked mode, check the box by each lock to include\
 it 
in this scene. Click the front and rear door lock icons to attain the LOCKED state.
4.    Find the living room light device and check the box to include it in the scene. Set the d\
immer slide to about
