Overview

After configuring Shortcuts on Android, users can make up to four shortcut commands appear by long-pressing on the mobile app icon. By tapping one of these shortcuts, users can send one of the following commands to their system without launching the app:

Shortcut Name Description
Arm Away Sends an Arm Away command with configured arming options to the specified partition
Arm Stay Sends an Arm Stay command with configured arming options to the specified partition
Disarm Sends a Disarm command to the specified partition
Lock or Unlock Lock Sends a Lock/Unlock command to the specified Lock
Open or Close Garage Door Sends an Open/Close command to the specified Garage Door
View Camera Opens the app and begins streaming a live feed of the specified Camera
View Thermostats Opens the app to the specified Thermostat page
