Events and Event Actions

What are Events?

Events are conditional triggers built in the Event Manager Database.

How Events Work

Each event continuously monitors a panel condition. When a condition is met, the Event executes associated actions.

  • Define a Trigger: configure the Event Trigger Condition(s). See Event Trigger Condition Types below.

  • Attach Actions: associate up to 16 actions with a single event. See more about Actions below.

  • Monitor & Manage: All events are visible in the Event Manager Database, where you can add, edit, delete, copy/paste, reorder, and import or export the entire database. See Manage Events for more information.

Event Triggers

Event Trigger Condition Types

Conditional triggers for events are based on:

  • Tag state or tag value

    • Discrete type tags: trigger an action when a tag changes state

    • Numeric type tags: trigger an action based on a tag value condition

  • A single event at a specific Day & Time

    • Daily

    • Specific days of the week

    • Multiple times per day at a set interval during a time frame

  • When a set Screen opens or closes.

What are Actions?

Actions are what Events do. Events act as triggers for actions.

How Actions Work

Each event continuously monitors a panel condition. When a condition is met, the Event executes up to 16 Actions.

Actions execute in the order they appear in the Sequence List. Reorder them with the up/down arrows.

There are 11 Actions. See each one below for more information:
