Alarm group state

The state of an alarm group controls whether event notifications (alarms) are sent. This can be managed through the YourSixOS web application or the mobile applications.

Possible states

• Armed: Event notifications are sent when events occur.
• Schedule: Event notifications follow the predefined schedule.
• Disarmed: Event notifications are disabled.

WARNING

If the alert state is manually/forcefully set to Armed or Disarmed, it must be changed back to Schedule for the scheduled behavior to resume. The system will not automatically revert to the schedule once forcefully overridden.
