                        User interface example

                        The following figures show the panel controls in the ClareHome App.

                        Figure 2: Clare Security in the Ready and Armed state

                        Clare Secure 052

                        Silence Beeping

                        The panel supports the Silence Beeping feature. This feature allows the user to silence/stop the panel’s beeping due to a troubled state in a panel or zone.

                        Notes

                        • Silence Beeping does not stop the Clare Security Alarm from going off.
                        • Each new troubled state will require the user to silence beeping. For example, if there is currently a troubled water sensor that is silenced, and then the low battery state occurs in the panel, a new set of beeps starts. You must silence them, and each new troubled occurrence.
                        • Silence beeping last for 24 hours. After 24 hours, if the troubled state is not resolved, the panel resumes the beeping alert.
                        • Not all trouble conditions cause the panel to beep.

                        Troubled states

                        When the panel is troubled, you can view a list of what is causing the troubled state. The panel supports the following troubled states.

                        Notes

                        • These are panel states, not zone states.
                        • These panel states do not prevent the arming/disarming of the panel but alert the user that something may affect their security.
