Introduction

FusionPro is Clare Controls’ newest dealer tool. FusionPro allows dealers to create and manage their accounts for security and home automation. Most pages are mobile phone friendly, allowing the user the ability to access and make changes as needed easily in the field.

Once their account is created, the dealer has access to the FusionPro dashboard. The dashboard displays a summary of accounts under the company and the current number of paid service plans/types.

 

 

 

FusionPro sections

FusionPro is divided into different sections for user ease. The sections (Home, Accounts, Companies, and Help Center) allow the user to easily access the desired content.

Home

This section is the first page the user sees when logging in to FusionPro. It displays a live dashboard with Account and Service Plan information. The Home page also hosts Dealer News, the Clare Controls RSS feed. This feed contains the latest news, updates, and important notices.

Figure 1: Home (FusionPro dashboard)

Accounts

The Account section hosts a list of accounts (user projects) created in the company. Accounts are created and managed from this page.

Figure 2: Accounts

Companies

The Companies section hosts company information. The parent/main company is displayed at the top of the page and sub-companies are listed below. This section allows for the creation and management (creating staff, configuring alarm reporting and two-way calling numbers, and account filters) of companies.

Help Center

The Help Center section links out to the Clare Controls Help Center. The Help Center hosts a wide variety of information for the panel and Clare Controls.

User/Staff login creation

  4. Continue to Staff management.

 

 

 

Companies and sub-companies

The company is the dealer’s primary account in FusionPro. The dealer may have sub-companies added under the company account. Once sub-companies are added to the company account, the dealer or company admins can modify that sub-company’s information and settings. Both company and sub-companies have access to their own list of Central Stations and the Account View Filters features.

 

 

Sub-company management

Dealers directly manage their sub-company accounts.

Note: Central stations and filters are unique to each company/sub-company. If the main company has multiple sub-companies, each sub-company has their own custom list of central stations and filters. Nothing is carried over from the main company or other sub-companies.

Note: Adding companies is not necessary if your organization is a single company. Click Edit on "My Company" header to edit your company.

        Company Settings management

        The company and sub-companies each have access to a Company Settings tab. This tab allows the management of Alarm Reporting Numbers and Two-Way Calling Numbers. Each company should create a list of commonly used Alarm Reporting Numbers and Two-Way Calling numbers for easy security monitoring service activation. Once these numbers are added to the company/sub-company account, installers can simply select the number/plan from an existing list.

        The Company Settings tab hosts the Alarm Reporting and Two-Way Calling Numbers.

        Alarm Reporting: The number that the panel uses for alarm reporting.

        Two-Way Calling Number: The number that the panel calls when an Emergency button is pressed. This allows for 2-way communication.

        Notes

        • The main company’s alarm reporting and two-way calling number lists are not carried over to any sub-company accounts. Each company and sub-company’s alarm reporting and two-way calling number lists are created independently.
        • All phone numbers used in the following examples are made up. Do not use the sample numbers when configuring the alarm reporting or two-way calling numbers.
        • Alarm reporting and two-way calling numbers cannot currently be modified. If there is an error in the saved information, the entry must be deleted and a new number must be created. Once the new number is created, each customer account must be updated to use the correct station/number.
        • Two-way calling numbers are only available on accounts using a ClareOne panel and the Interactive Plus LTE security plan.

        To add an Alarm Reporting Number:

        1. Click the Companies menu item, and then click Edit next to the desired company.
        2. Click the Company Settings tab, and then click Edit next to Alarm Reporting Number.

        3. Click Add Alarm Reporting Number.

          3. Click Add Two-Way Calling Number.

          4. Enter the name and phone number, and then click Save.

          To add the alarm reporting number to a pre-existing customer account:

          Notes

          • The account must have an online ClareOne or ClareSecure (Helix) panel and use either the Interactive or Interactive Plus LTE security plan.
          • If the alarm monitoring/two-way calling number is created before adding a new account, the numbers are selectable in a drop-down field when activating security for the account.
          1. Click Accounts, and then tap View next to the desired account.

          • When using the two-way calling feature, the cellular must be activated first. Once cellular is active, the caller ID number becomes available for the Monitoring Services form. Activating the cellular is not an instant process, it may take time for the status to update.

          Account View Filter management

          It is recommended that the company/sub-company create a list of account view filters to help identify and categorize customer accounts. The filters are unique and can be used to denote things like the community name, pet warnings, or if the home requires a gate key.

          Notes

          • Account view filters are unique to the company/sub-company. Filters created in the main company account are not carried over to sub-company accounts.
          • When using multiple filters at once, the filters function as an OR search. For example, selecting a neighborhood and animal warning, it displays all results with that neighborhood OR with an animal warning.
          • Filters are a 2-part process, creating the filter and associating it with an account. See the following sections: “To create account view filters” and “To apply account view filters.”

          To create account view filters:

          1. Click the Companies menu item, click Edit next the desired company, and then click the Account View Filters tab.

              1. Click the Accounts menu item, and then click View next to the desired account.
              2. Click the Filters tab, select the desired filters, and then click Apply.

           

          To use account view filters:

              1. Click the Accounts menu item, and then click the filter icon icon.



                A list of all filters displays.

              2. Select the desired filters.
                A list of accounts with those filters displays.

           

          Account management

          Once a company has created their staff and (optional) sub-companies, they can add accounts. Each account contains specific customer information (service plans, devices, actions, test, onboarding, and filters).

           

           

           

          Account creation

          Create an account for each smart home controller. Once the account is created, it can be managed from FusionPro.

          Notes

          • Once created, accounts cannot be deleted.
          • Once an account is created and onboarding is finished, an email is sent to the account owner (homeowner) inviting them to create a login for the ClareHome app. This login allows them access to customization and configuration of their home project.

          To create an account:

                Central Station (CS) Receiver Phone Number: The central station’s phone number used to monitor the account.

                Caller ID Phone Number: The customer’s phone number to which the caller ID is traced. This appears on the central station’s phone system and used to contact the customer.
