Voice Notifications is a feature that allows you to receive a phone call for notifications. 

There are two types of Voice Notifications:

  • Voice Notifications for Alarms
  • Voice Notifications for Non-Alarms

If there is an alarm, there is prompt to disarm. If there is a non-alarm event, a notification update is sent. 

Note: Voice notifications are only supported in the US and Canada. Voice Notifications are not available for Thermostat Alerts.

  1. Log into the website. 
  2. Click Users

    • Up to three voice notification numbers can be added to an Alarm notification. 
    • For Alarm notifications, click to select the notification order position for the recipient (i.e., 1ST will receive the first notification attempt). Each selection represents a notification attempt. If the alarm is not canceled after an attempt, the next attempt will be made about 90 seconds later.

      Note: A notification order position must be selected for the recipients of Alarm notifications. Once the Voice Notification successfully connects with a recipient, it will not perform additional notification attempts.
