Scenes From Alarm com Won't Be Pushed to GC3 or GC3e

In this video, Michael from Alarm Grid explains how smart home automation scenes created within Alarm.com will not be pushed over to a 2GIG GC3 or 2GIG GC3e System. You will only be able to control the scenes from Alarm.com. This can be done using a web browser or the Alarm.com Mobile App. Likewise, when you create a smart scene at the 2GIG GC3 or 2GIG GC3e, it will not be pushed over to Alarm.com. That scene will only be available at the panel for local control.

A smart scene is basically a collection of actions that are all performed at once. These actions can involve the security system itself, but they are primarily used with Z-Wave smart home automation devices that are programmed with the system. An example of a single smart scene might be to have all the programmed Z-Wave lights turn OFF, have a Z-Wave door lock enter into a LOCKED status, and have a Z-Wave thermostat set to a specific temperature.

One of the most convenient aspects of a smart scene is that it can be set to activate automatically based on a set schedule or with a predetermined system event. For instance, you might have a smart scene activate automatically at 7:00pm, or you might have it go into effect whenever the system is armed. The options are extremely customizable, so you can set up the smart scene how you would like.

When building a smart scene on a GC3 or GC3e, you must decide whether you want it available for remote access through Alarm.com, or available for local access at the panel itself. If you want to operate the smart scene remotely, then build it through Alarm.com. If you want to control it locally at the panel, then build it at the GC3 or GC3e.
