Companies

Companies are divided into two categories: Parent and Sub-companies.

Edit Companies 1

Parent Company

The Parent company was created when your company submitted their partner application. One company admin user was created and invited to collaborate in FusionPro when the account was created. That company admin must add new Staff to the company. An invitation is sent to each new staff member upon saving them in the Staff tab on the Manage Company page.

Click on the Manage Company button to get access to the Parent company settings and management. This page is for managing each of the following.

  • Basic Company Info, where your Customer Support Contact is configured.
  • Staff management, where you add or remove FusionPro users.
  • Company Settings, detailed below.
  • Dealer Lockout, where you can configure a lock out screen on the ClareOne panel. Particularly useful in builder installations where the panel might be installed before the dwelling is occupied. It can provide information on how the new homeowner or resident can contact you to complete their installation and turnover.

Sub-Companies

In some instances, you may want to assign accounts and staff members to a sub-company. When this is true click on the Add Sub-Company button. Follow the prompts to create the sub-company, then click on the sub-company in the company list to edit the sub-company settings and add staff.

Sub-companies are typically created when you need to subdivide your business, or your accounts based on their location or business relationship. For example, your company may install systems in apartment communities, therefore you may want to create a sub-company for the community to easily manage and group the associated accounts.

Staff members of the sub-company can access accounts only under that sub-company or sub-companies created under the sub-company. They do not have access to accounts under the parent company or other sub-companies under the parent company.

Company Info

General information about the Customer Support, Billing and Shipping contacts is entered here. Only Customer Support Contact information is required. 

Staff

Accessible only to Company Admins, all FusionPro users are managed here. Click the Add Staff button to add new FusionPro users and assign their permission. Users are sent an email with an invitation to collaborate in FusionPro upon saving their info on the Add Staff page. Once they have completed their registration, “Yes” will appear next to each staff member’s name under the “Created Login” column on the Staff List page.

Edit Staff_1

Company Settings

The sections under company settings are configured and are accessible for application on all your accounts.

Central Stations

Configure your Central Monitoring Station (CMS and CS or Central Stations are synonymous) communication settings for application on each account. The settings defined here are provided by the CMS to which your customer systems will send their alarms. Once it is configured and tested you will assign the CMS communication path to each of your ClareOne accounts. Detailed information and instructions regarding Central Stations are discussed in Configuring Central Stations.

Two-Way Calling Number

The ClareOne can make an outbound Two-Way voice call to the CMS provided the CMS can support it. A voice number for this specific purpose is provided by your CMS and entered here. It can then be assigned to the accounts with the appropriate Service Plans.

Home Builders

Create a list of builders for whom your company installs ClareOne panels then add the name of a builder on that list to the ClareOne account information. You can add the builder column to your accounts list view to sort or filter on and include in an account export.

Community

Create a list of communities where you install ClareOne panels then add the name of community where the ClareOne is installed account information. You can add the Community column to your accounts list view to sort or filter on and include in an account export.

Building Type

Create a list of building types in which you install ClareOne panels, such as Multi Dwelling Unit, Single Family Home, etc. Then label the ClareOne account accordingly. You can add the Building Type column to your accounts list view to sort or filter to include in an account export.

 


 

Configuring Central Stations

Central Stations are usually configured only once. A unique Central Station configuration is required for each Central Monitoring Station with which your company has a relationship.

Alarm Processing

All alarms sent by a ClareOne panel are delivered to our Alarm Relay Partner (Alula) via IP. Alula’s alarm processing center then forwards the alarm to the CMS according to the communication path you configured and assigned to your ClareOne accounts.

Alarms sent from Alula to your CMS are delivered using Ademco ContactID format and alarm codes using one of the following delivery methods.

  • Sur-Gard III – Alarms are delivered from the ClareOne to Alula’s alarm processing center using Alula’s proprietary API and then forwarded to the assigned CMS to a Sur-Gard III receiver connected to Alula. This process is completed from end to end over IP and ordinarily takes just a few seconds to be received and responded to at the CMS.
  • POTs (Plain Old Telephone Service) – Alarms are delivered from the ClareOne to Alula’s alarm processing center using Alula’s proprietary API and then forwarded to the assigned CMS using telephone lines. The alarm delivery Calling Line ID will be that of one of the Alula dialers, it does not represent the ClareOne or customer account in any way.

NOTE: Partners must contact their CMS to acquire the communication path information before they can configure their CMS in FusionPro. More information about how to get this information and supported Central Stations can be found here.

Central Station Configuration

    1. Select Companies, then click on the Manage Company button.
    2. Click on Central Stations to add and configure your CMS communication.
    3. Click the Add Central Stations button to open the Add Central Station dialog.Edit CS 1
    4. Enter the Name of your central station.
    5. Click on the Add IP Communication Path 1 to open the input popover.Edit CS 2
    6. In the Add IP Comm Path 1 popover:
    7. Enter the IP address provided by your CMS.
    8. Enter the DNIS entered by your CMS.

      NOTE: The DNIS may be provided in the form of line and receiver number (RRLLL), where the receiver number (RR) must be 2 digits and the line number (LLL) must be 3 digits. If shorter than required, pad them with leading zeros to meet the requirement.
    9. Click the Done button to save the settings.
    10. Repeat for IP Comm Path 2 if your CMS provides a backup IP path.
    11. Click the Standard Phone Line if your CMS uses a phone path for back up or if it is the only method of delivery, enter the provided phone number.

      NOTE: This is NOT a published number and may vary by account. It must be an alarm receiver phone number provided by your CMS support team.
    12. Click Save. The CS information you entered will be displayed on the Central Stations page with the status of the configured Communication Paths.Edit CS 3

     

    Central Station Status

    If the communication path is valid and properly providing heartbeats to the Alarm Relay at Alula, an Online status is provided in the related IP Path Status column.

    In some instances, the CMS will only have one IP path connected at a time and will connect the backup only when necessary. In this case, “unknown” is provided in the related IP Path Status.

    Phone Status will always be unknown as this is not a real-time connection and is only “online” when an alarm is actively being relayed.

    Testing the Central Station Connection

    A configured account is required to send a test signal to the CMS. This process is performed in the ClareOne device settings and is unique for each account. Refer to Periodic Test Settings for specific instructions on sending a test signal.

    Associating an Account with the Central Station

    Refer to setting up Monitoring Services for specific instructions on associating an account with a configured CMS.

    Sharing Account Information with Central Station

    Refer to Export Account for specific instructions.

     


     

    Managing Accounts

    Every ClareOne panel or legacy control system is added and managed as part of account management, users will first create the account then assign the ClareOne panel to it. FusionPro has several step-by-step processes built-in to help navigate installers and FusionPro managers through each process. The first is the Create New Account wizard.

    Creating a New Account

    New account creation can be initiated directly in FusionPro or when installing a ClareOne panel by scanning the QR code provided at the end of the ClareOne Set-up Wizard with your phone. The QR code provides a URL which can be copied into your web browser. The link opens FusionPro. When the installer logs in, the New Account wizard is opened and the ClareOne UUID, Serial, and LTE information are automatically populated.

    Create Account Wizard

    Users can open the Create Account Wizard from each of the following areas:

    • Create Account option on the Side-bar menu.
    • Create Account button on the home page Title Bar.
    • Create Account button on the Accounts page.
    • Pasting the URL from the QR code displayed at the end of the ClareOne Setup wizard.

    Each step in the wizard must be completed before the next step is available to complete. The exceptions are:

    • Step 2 “Primary Customer Information” – a check box to bypass customer information is provided when the customer information is not available to enter.
    • Step 4 “Add Panel Information” – Click the “Skip” button to bypass the panel information when the information about the hardware to be installed is unknown until after the installer arrives at the installation location.

    Step 1 “Company Details”

    Assign a company to this account. Only the parent company is available to select if no sub-companies have been created. If the user creating the account is a staff member under a sub-company, then the sub-company is listed.

    Create New Account 1

    Click the Next button.

    Step 2 “Primary Customer Information”

    Enter the Primary Customer Information, Email, First Name, Last Name, and at least one phone number are required. Click the Add Phone Number button if more than one phone number is to be entered.

    Alternatively, when the customer information is not available, click the checkbox when the customer information is not available to skip to the next step.Create New Account 2

    Click the Next button.

    Step 3 – “System Address”

    Enter the address where the ClareOne panel is to be installed. FusionPro searches for the address using Google Maps and can auto-complete address information if there is a match.

    Click the Add Building Type, Builder, Community, or Notes button to add that information or notes about the account.

    Create New Account 3

    Click the Next button.

    Step 4 – “Add Panel Information”

    Enter the information to identify the ClareOne panel associated with this customer account. If you used the URL provided in the QR code from the ClareOne Set-up wizard, this information will already be populated.Create New Account 4

    The Test Connection button appears when the information is entered correctly. Click the button to ensure the ClareOne is communicating with FusionPro. Verify that the ClareOne has access to the internet if there are any issues with the connection test.

    Click the Save Controller button after the information is entered and the connection test is complete.

    Alternatively, click the Skip button when the panel information is not available to add. The account will appear as “Unconfigured” and “Vacant” if the Occupancy column is displayed on the account list view.

    Displays only when the selected Service Plan is Interactive Plus LTE. ClareOne panels are preloaded with a Verizon or AT&T SIM card when they are shipped. You can determine which SIM card is installed by the ClareOne model number printed on the label on the back of the ClareOne panel.

      • CLR-C1-PNL1 – Verizon SIM (Does not work outside the United States)
      • CLR-C1-PNL1-A – AT&T SIM (Works in the United States AND Canada)

    LTE must be activated on the ClareOne before it will communicate via the cellular provider.


    NOTE: Ensure that ClareOne panel is 100% current on updates before trying to activate LTE.

    Two-Way Calling

    The number this account uses for two-way calling to your Central Station, if your Central Station supports two-way calling. Refer to the section Configuring Central Stations for information.

     

    Monitoring Services

    Assign the specific Central Monitoring Station (CMS) and CMS Account Number to which this device will send the alarm information when an alarm is triggered. Before this can be set-up, you must have configured a CMS under your company settings.

    Active Monitoring Services

      • Central Station (Required)

    Drop down list of CMSs configured in Company Settings. Refer to the section Configuring Central Stations for help if nothing is listed.

      • Caller ID Phone Number

    Not required but is pre-populated with the Caller ID of the Verizon LTE Module if activated. AT&T SIMs do not provide a number. The Caller ID number is informational only and is not required to send an alarm to the CMS, nor is it included in the alarm data packet.

      • CS Account Number (Required)

    The last four digits of the account number assigned to this account in your CMS. This account number is provided in the alarm packet sent.

      • CS Auxilliary Number

    Not used by ClareOne.

      • Serial Number (Required)

    This is pre-populated if the ClareOne is current on firmware and properly configured.

      • Do not send Arm/Disarm checkbox

    Checked by default, this prevents Arm or Disarm events from forwarding to your CMS. These events are sent to our Alarm Relay Partner, Alula, but are suppressed and not forwarded to the CMS. This ensures the information about arming and disarming is still available in the Communication Logs and prevents additional per event charges from the CMS.


    Devices

    The ClareOne supports a large variety of home automation devices, including lighting, access control (door locks and garage door openers), surveillance cameras, and Sonos and Heos streaming music speakers. You can find a more comprehensive list of supported devices here.

    Some supported devices are DIY and can be added by the homeowner using the ClareHome application. All supported devices can be added via FusionPro on the Devices page. The devices page lists all connected devices and their status. The exception are devices that do not have a user interface, like Z-Wave motion sensors or repeaters. However, most of these devices can be used as triggers for Actions.

    Devices

    • Title Bar – Displays the count of all connected devices and the Add Device Button.
    • Quick Filters – Filter for Online, Offline, or Unconfigured devices.
    • Search bar – Find devices by free form text matches on the Name, Type, and Area columns.
    • Sortable – Click on any column header to sort the column. Click again to change the sort order.
    • Checkbox – Mark a device and choose an action for that device. Attempting to delete a Z-Wave device prompts the user to initiate the Z-Wave removal process.

    Adding Devices

    Click the Add Device button to add a new device to the ClareOne. Select the device category from the displayed list and follow the prompts. Refer to the Supported Device List for additional information about what devices can be added to the ClareOne.

    Some devices, especially cloud-based devices such as thermostats and garage door openers, require user authentication with their respective cloud service. Make sure you have the required credentials before trying to add such devices.

    Activity Log

    Filter Options

      • Search bar: Search Event Type and Device Name/Type columns for specific text.
      • Check boxes to quickly filter between “Doors, Locks and Gates” and/or “Security”. Both are checked by default.
      • Date pickers to choose the start and end dates of events to be displayed.

    Actions

    Actions are Automations, Schedules, and Notifications created in the ClareHome application by the users. Those actions are also accessible and manageable in FusionPro on behalf of the ClareOne User.

    Actions List

    • The Actions table is sortable by any column header
    • Check the box next to any action to delete it
    • Click on any action in the list to edit it
    • Click the Add Action button to create a new action

    Actions 2


    1. Select the action trigger, “When This Happens”
      1. A Scene Tile is Pressed – creates a scene automation that is triggered by adding a tile to the ClareOne UI and/or the ClareHome application. These Actions can also be called upon by other actions.
      2. A Time of Day Passed – creates schedule action that is triggered based on a schedule. Schedules are flexible in that they can be run on specific days of the week at specific times or relative to sunrise or sunset. They can be set to run for a specific period or forever.
      3. A Device Action Occurs – creates an action automation that runs based on the operation of another device. For example, “turn on my front porch light when my gate is opened”.
    2. Select the “Do This” – defines what happens based on the trigger configured in When this happens.
    3. When editing an existing action, tap the 3 Dot icon on any item listed in the action to edit that item.

    Communication Log

    Log which lists all events forwarded to our Alarm Relay Partner, Alula, and the status of the relay. The displayed events are automatically filtered for the previous seven days, but can be filtered by different date windows, Relay Status, Event Code and/or Zone/User Number. This log can also be downloaded into a CSV file to share with others.

    NOTE: Any event which displays Relay Completed has been sent to and received by the CMS according to the CMS settings. In instances where the CMS indicates that the event was not received the issue is usually a configuration problem. In these cases, it is best to double check with your CMS that you have both the correct DNIS (RRLLL) number and account number programmed.

    Communication Log-1


    Notes

    An area used to store specific information for all who maintain the account to see. Perhaps a CRM Account number for cross reference. It is best to NEVER put private or security information in the notes. I.e. a gate code or security PIN.


    Additional Menu Items

    Located at the bottom of the Slide-out menu on the Account page.

    Addiontal Menu Items

    Export Account

    Account report to be shared with the CMS. It provides all the important contact, municipality, and zone information the CMS needs to enter in their system and cross reference when an alarm event is received from the ClareOne.
