2. The app looks for the Gateway’s DID through its
connection to the home WiFi. Name the gateway. Enter
the default security code (123456) and save.
If the app cannot nd the gateway’s DID, verify that the
gateway is powered on and that it is connected securely
to the router. Be sure your phone is also connected via
WiFi to your router. If there is no problem with the gateway

bottom of the gateway.
It is highly recommend that you change the default
security code through the Settings screen.

alert and the door is still open.
SET UP SCENARIOS
Scenarios are preset sensor actions that are triggered by some kind of event. One-Touch scenarios are
triggered when you tap a specic icon in the One-Touch senario section of the Scenario screen. If...Then
scenarios activate when a specied sensor is triggered.
Scenario Main Screen
When you tap Scenario ( ), the Scenario main screen displays. The screen is divided into two sections
plus an icon section across the bottom. The top section provides one-touch operation for turning sets of
sensors on or off. One-touch operations are usually used when you are leaving your house and want to
secure it. The bottom section contains “If...Then” scenarios, where you set up a sequence of events if
there is a triggering action. For example, you can set up Power Switches to activate (turning on lamps) if
a door sensor is triggered.
