							Setting the alert time
Tap the current time setting, select the desired time, and then tap  [OK].
Setting the alert volume
Tap 
, select the desired volume, and then tap  [OK]. While adjusting this setting, the alert will sound
from the hub so that you can confirm what the alert sounds like and its volume.
Alert by phone call
You can configure the system to call a pre-programmed phone number when the alarm system is
triggered. When the called party answers the call, the system will play back a message to alert the called
party to the situation.
Usage example
1 You arm the alarm system.
2 A sensor is triggered.
3 The hub uses its connection to your landline to call a pre-programmed phone number.
4 When the called party answers the call, the system announces the name of the triggered sensor and
prompts the called party to press 
.
R If the called party does not answer the call or does not press 
, the system calls the next
pre-programmed phone number.
Note:
R In order to use this feature, the hub must be connected to your landline. For information about phone
line connection, refer to the System Setup Guide included with your hub.
Configuring the alert by phone call feature
1 From the  [Home Network]  app home screen, tap  [Settings].
2 Tap  [Arm Settings] .
3 Tap  [Alert by Phone Call] .
4 Turn on the  [Alert by Phone Call]  switch.
5 Tap  [Arm Condition] .
6 Select the desired setting and then tap  [OK].
– [Away/At Home] : Alert by phone call is enabled for  [Arm: Away] and [Arm: At Home]  arm
modes.
– [Away] : Alert by phone call is enabled for  [Arm: Away] arm mode only.
7 Tap the desired memory location (1–5).
R When the system calls a phone number, it calls the phone number assigned to the lowest memory
location. If the called party does not answer or does not press 
, the system calls the phone
number assigned to the next memory location.
R [None]  is displayed for numbers with no phone number assigned to them.
8 Specify the party to be called by entering the desired name and then tap  [OK]. Repeat this step and
enter the desired phone number. R You can also select a contact that is stored in your mobile device by tapping  [Add from Contacts
List] .
9 When finished, tap  [OK].

Smart control features (overview)
Smart control allows the system to operate by itself. You can configure smart control settings by creating
“scenarios”. Each scenario answers three questions:
1 Which  devices do you want to control?
– Example: entrance camera
– Example: foyer smart plug
2 When  do you want the devices to operate?
– At a set time
– When a sensor is triggered
– When you come home
3 What  do you want the devices to do?
– Cameras: record audio and video
– Smart plugs: turn on
– Motion lights: turn on or flash
42
Using the app 
						

							Examples
Here are some examples of how you can use smart control scenarios.
I want to know who comes to the door while I’m at work.
1 Which device:  Entrance camera
2 When:  The entrance camera’s motion sensor is triggered
3 What:  Record audio and video for 1 minute
I want to turn on the lights while I’m away on vacation.
1 Which device:  Living room smart plug
2 When:  Every night from 8:00 PM to 10:30 PM
3 What:  Turn the smart plug on
I want the lights to turn on automatically when I come home.
1 Which device:  Foyer smart plug
2 When:  When the alarm system is armed and the app detects that your mobile device has
reconnected to your wireless router (because you came home)
3 What:  Turn the smart plug on
I want to turn on my bedside lamp if my baby starts crying.
1 Which device:  Master bedroom smart plug
2 When:  The child’s room camera’s sound sensor is triggered between 10:00 PM and 6:00 AM
3 What:  Turn the smart plug on for 2 minutes
Sensors that can be used to trigger smart control scenarios
The following sensors can be used to trigger smart control scenarios.
– Window sensors and door sensors (KX-HNS101)
– Motion sensors (KX-HNS102)
– Built-in motion sensors in indoor cameras (KX-HNC200, KX-HNC210)
– Built-in sound and temperature sensors in indoor cameras (KX-HNC200, KX-HNC210)
– Built-in motion sensors in outdoor cameras (KX-HNC600)
– Mobile device Wi-Fi connection (see  “Using [Trigger when Home Wi-Fi Connects] to trigger smart control scenarios”, Page 45)
Note:
R The following sensors cannot be used to trigger smart control scenarios.
– Built-in overcurrent and overwattage detection sensor in smart plugs (KX-HNA101)
Creating smart control scenarios
Smart control scenarios can be executed on a schedule and when a sensor is triggered. You can create
up to 50 smart control scenarios.
Important:
R If you are unable to perform the procedures for creating smart control scenarios that are found in this
document, you may need to update the hub (see  “Hub firmware”, Page 89) and your  [Home
Network]  app.

4 Tap  [Triggered by Sensor] .
5 Select the sensor that you want to use to trigger the smart control scenario.
R If the device to control is a smart plug, you can use your mobile device’s Wi-Fi connection to your
wireless router as a trigger by selecting  [Trigger when Home Wi-Fi Connects] . For more
information, see  “Using [Trigger when Home Wi-Fi Connects] to trigger smart control scenarios”, Page 45.

configured to control the same device, an error is displayed. The nature of the error is also displayed
on the scenario’s configuration screen.
R When a sensor is triggered, the scenario is executed immediately, even if the sensor’s operation mode
is set to  [Enable (Entry Delay)]  ( “Enabling and disabling individual sensors”, Page 40).
R When using a smart control scenario to record camera images, there may be a short delay after the
sensor is triggered before recording starts.
Using [Trigger when Home Wi-Fi Connects] to trigger smart control scenarios
You can use your mobile device’s Wi-Fi connection to your wireless router as a trigger to turn on a smart
plug. An example use of this feature would be having a light turn on automatically when you return home.
When the app detects that your mobile device has reconnected to your wireless router (because you
came home), it executes the scenario (turning on the light).
In order to use this feature, select  [Trigger when Home Wi-Fi Connects]  as the trigger when
configuring a smart control scenario.
Note:
R When  [Trigger when Home Wi-Fi Connects]  is selected, the app checks your mobile device’s Wi-Fi
connection periodically so that it can detect when it has connected to your home wireless network
again.
Recording camera images
You can use smart control scenarios to record camera images and save them on the hub’s SD card. For
information about SD cards and how recordings are saved, see  “Information about SD cards”, Page 59.

Using the app 
						

							cameras to record images automatically or send a notification to your mobile device. Additionally, built-in
speakers and microphones allow you to talk to anyone who is near the camera.
Indoor cameras feature a built-in temperature sensor, which allows the camera to alert you when the
ambient temperature is too high or too low, and a sound sensor, which allows the camera to alert you
when sound is detected. You can also select one of the preset “lullaby” melodies and play it through the
camera’s built-in speaker.
You can register 4 cameras to the system.
Viewing the camera list
By opening the camera list, you can view a small preview image of each camera registered to the system.
To view the camera list, tap  [Camera] in the home screen.
Note:
R If a camera’s images are being recorded, 
 is displayed in the camera list.
R If a camera’s sensor features have been triggered, 
 is displayed in the camera list.
Camera list options
While viewing the camera list, you can open the options menu (see  “Displaying the options menu”,
Page 30) and configure various settings that are applied to all cameras registered to the system. These
settings are explained in  “General camera settings”, Page 56.
Viewing live camera images

2 Tap the camera image of the desired camera.
R A live image from the selected camera is displayed in single-camera display mode.
Note:
R Multiple mobile devices can view live images from the same camera at the same time, however, only
one mobile device can use certain features at a time (image recording, talking to the camera, etc.).
Turning the camera audio on and off
Slide the switch to the desired position while viewing live images from a single camera.
: Camera audio will be heard
: Camera audio will not be heard
Zooming in and out
Pinch in and out on the camera image while viewing live images from a single camera. While zoomed in,
you can swipe your finger on the camera image to display a different area of the image.
Using night vision
If there is not adequate light to illuminate the subject, such as at night, the camera automatically switches
to night vision mode. When night vision mode is active, colors may appear different from normal.
