System and Account

Set up Rules in the Frontpoint app or website to automate your home- making it more intelligent and responsive to events that occur.

When configured, automatic events can be triggered by alarms, arming or disarming, sensor activity, or Smart Door Lock activity to control smart lights and plugs, smart locks, trigger camera recording, and run Scenes.

For inspiration to set up your own rules, a few customer favorites include...

• Turning lights on or off when the Motion Sensor detects motion

• Turning your lights on or recording a clip when a door is opened or closed

• Locking the Smart Door Lock when arming, or unlocking the Smart Door Lock when disarming a system

• Turning smart plugs on or off when an alarm is triggered

• Setting a camera to record a clip when the system is disarmed to see who disarmed the system

• Locking all of the Smart Locks in the home when one of them gets locked

• Setting a specific camera to record when a specific sensor is activated, opened, or closed

• Locking a Smart Lock when a door closes or unlocking a Smart Lock when a door opens

• Setting a camera to record a clip when the panel is disarmed

For help configuring Rules, please refer to the instructions below for setup either through the app or website...
