Advanced capabilities overview

This section explains the advanced capabilities available within the Matrix. When devices or things are added to the Matrix, each widget provides interactive functionality and controls based on the resource type.

Widget capabilities

Camera interaction

Camera controls are accessible either along the top of each widget or within the three-dot menu. Available options vary depending on the camera model.

Controls

• Remove player from view: Removes the player widget from the canvas.
• Resolution: Select from available resolution options using the drop-down menu.
• PTZ presets: Choose from a list of preset PTZ positions.
• Microphone control: Mute or unmute audio (if supported).
• Talkdown control: Enable two-way talkdown communication.
• Fullscreen video: Expand the video to full-screen mode.
• Input/Output control: Trigger I/O board actions (On, Off or Pulse).
• Wiper: Control the camera lens wiper.

Settings

• Resolution: Adjust video resolution.
• Remove from Matrix: Remove the widget using the trash can icon.

Sensor interaction

Sensor widgets in YourSixOS provide real-time streaming and visualization of historical and live sensor readings.

Once added, the visualization can be customized from the three-dot menu in the upper-right corner of the sensor widget. Available options include:

• Data display: Choose how sensor data is visualized:
  • Gauge: Displays the current value. Minimum and maximum values show the respective values within the statistical set (measurement points covered by the range of the timeline).
  • Line: Displays sensor data over time, aligned with the timeline. You can zoom in or out on the timeline to adjust how much data is visible. Additional options include enabling shaded areas under the line and toggling grid lines for better visibility.

Alarm indicators

• If the sensor is set up with thresholds, the widget border will turn red, and an alert will flash inside the widget when the measured value is outside the range defined by the thresholds.

Peripheral interaction

Peripheral widgets in YourSixOS provide live control functionality and real-time status viewing.

Present status

• Displays the peripheral state: Active or Inactive.

Live controls

Live controls are only available for output peripherals.

• Pulse: Activate the output temporarily.
• Activate/Deactivate: Change the peripheral state between Active and Inactive.

Alarm indicators

• If the peripheral is set up with an alarm severity level, the widget border will turn red, and an alert will flash inside the widget.

Barrier interaction

Barrier widgets in YourSixOS provide live control functionality and real-time status viewing.

Present status

• Displays the barrier mode: Locked or Unlocked.
• Shows the visual state via the door icon (Open or Closed).

Live controls

• Access: Unlock the door temporarily.
• Unlock/Lock: Change the barrier’s mode between locked and unlocked.

Alarm indicators

• If the barrier triggers an alarm (e.g. door held open too long or forced entry), the widget border will turn red, and an alert will flash inside the widget.
