With the buttons “Accept” and “Decline” you can indicate in the chat to other end users whether you are going to take action on an event (Accept) or if you are not able to take action (Decline).

This way end users know among themselves who will and will not see what is going on. Incidentally, if no one (no end user) accepts the event received, a push message will be received a little later indicating that no one has responded (In chat: No response to alarm / in Events: Chat timeout).

No, mySmartControl itself has no access to user accounts, we are not able to log into any account and / or make changes.

In the beginning, an end user of the alarm system created the mySmartControl user account (perhaps together with the security installer?). The person who created the account has become the sole administrator who can log in and make adjustments . The administrator of the account is therefore fully responsible for the account.

Is it safe to use mySmartControl?2020-10-02T17:41:00+01:00

The connection to the cloud service is encrypted. The insurer may impose additional requirements regarding the use of an app in combination with your alarm system. Also note our disclaimer when using the app.

Does mySmartControl use port forwarding?2020-10-02T19:21:01+01:00

No. Because the alarm system connects to the cloud service, setting up port forwarding is not necessary.

However, if it concerns a company network, it can happen that your IT department does not allow devices to communicate ‘outside’ as standard. In that case, inform the department that your alarm system must be able to exit freely via TCP port 10042.
