What's New:
Disable Screen Auto Wake
The Auxiliary Touchpanel screen auto wake feature can be disabled, allowing the screen to only wake if tapped. This feature is perfect for instances where the Touchpanel sits on a nightstand near a bed or anywhere else where the user does not want to be disturbed by the screen lighting up when motion is detected.
How to:
Settings > Display > Auto Wake > On/Off
User Interface
The user interface has been updated with a new color scheme which provides a more intuitive status of connected devices. The new color scheme consists of shades of yellow and blue instead of green and red which are now reserved for security.
Example: Devices in an open state such as door locks, garage door, etc., will now be displayed in yellow when unlocked or blue when locked.
Auxiliary Touchpanel Alarm Sounder Feature
Users can enable an alarm sounder which will sound when the ClareOne Panel is in an alarmed state. This feature is complementary to ClareOne Security and does not replace the unique specifications offered by the standalone ClareOne Siren (CLR-C1-SRN) or ClareOne Panel.
New Annunciations with Silence Options
Users can enable voice annunciations or even disable specific annunciations such as global zones (similar to the ClareOne Panel), disarming, and trouble conditions. Silencing an annunciation on the Auxiliary Touchpanel does not affect annunciations on the ClareOne Panel.
Available annunciations include:
- Trouble Alerts: Alerts if a sensor has been troubled.
- Arm/Disarm Notifications: Silences all arming/disarming notifications.
- Zones: Chime or voice upon door open.
- Countdown: Countdown sound when arming security.

Settings > Device Settings > Silence Mode Schedule > Configure Schedule > Save
