Setting Up Automation On the Qolsys IQ Panel 2 Plus

In this video, Jarrett teaches you how to set up automation functions on a Qolsys IQ Panel 2 Plus. This mostly involves adding Z-Wave devices to the system. This system has a built-in Z-Wave Plus card for this purpose. You can control automation devices from the panel or from the Alarm.com platform.

The Qolsys IQ Panel 2 Plus is a great system for automation. You can easily pair Z-Wave devices with the system to make your life easier. Any paired Z-Wave device can be controlled from the IQ Panel 2 Plus itself, or from Alarm.com if the panel is activated for monitoring service. The panel offers both LTE cellular and WIFI for connecting with Alarm.com. This dual-path connectivity is great, as it ensures fast and reliable connectivity with the Alarm.com servers.

When adding a Z-Wave device to an IQ Panel 2 Plus System, you will want to first exclude it from the network first. This is done to ensure that it can pair with your network successfully. Many Z-Wave devices are paired with a network before leaving the factory for testing purposes. Clearing the device from the network will wipe out any existing data and make it possible to complete the pairing process. From there, you can enroll the Z-Wave device with your network and adjust its settings accordingly. The Z-Wave device will be available both at the panel and from Alarm.com

The real convenience of having Z-Wave devices paired with the IQ Panel 2 Plus comes from the ability to control the devices remotely using the Alarm.com Mobile App. This app is available for free download for any Android or iOS device, and it allows you to access your IQ Panel 2 Plus System from virtually anywhere. By accessing Alarm.com, you can arm and disarm your system, check system status, control Z-Wave devices, and more. You can even establish scenes for your Z-Wave devices so that they activate automatically based on a set schedule or with certain system events.
