What do I need to know in advance about setting up the mySmartControl environment

To configure mySmartControl, it is helpful to familiarize yourself with the terminology used in the app beforehand. This helps, among other things, to prevent errors during the setup of the management environment.

 

What is meant by…

Organization
The “organization” is the starting point of the mySmartControl management environment. This refers to the company, institution, or individual for whom the system is configured.

Members
These are all users of the mySmartControl app. However, they can be subdivided into the roles of “administrator” and “member”.

  • The administrator is usually the owner of the alarm control panel.
  • A member is usually the user (e.g., the employee who usually switches the alarm on or off).

Locations
This is the actual location to which the alarm applies. Usually, this involves only one location with one address. However, it can also involve multiple locations. For example, consider multiple retail branches, each with its own alarm panel. Or an alarm panel for home and one for the business.


Devices
A “device” refers to the alarm panel.

Outputs
This refers to the output of the alarm panel, used for controlling, for example, a fence or access door.

Installer
An installer can be linked to the installation. This is the technical contact person who typically installed and configured the alarm panel and likely also performs maintenance.
