Arming/Disarming

Security Alarms Any security alarms will come to us first; triggering the alarm will not automatically send law enforcement.

Disarming the System

When entering the system will usually disarm after the door code is punched in. Make sure to pause for a few seconds after entering your door code to allow the system to disarm. Note that you may still hear the upstairs siren tone sounding for a few seconds once the door is opened; check the status on the touch panel to make sure that the system is off completely. If disarmed, the security button will show disarmed and turn green.

If you enter and the panel does not show disarmed tap the top left button (HSM Status); tap “Disarm” and enter your door code.

Arming to Leave

When leaving, make sure that all door contacts are closed (the contact sensor tile will be green). Tap the mode tile and select “Away” and enter your door code. The siren will start toning and you’ll have 60 seconds to leave through the front door only.

Entry/Exit Restrictions System delays are only built into the front door and garage entry doors. Additionally, at night the master bathroom door is allowed to be opened, but only the master bathroom door.

Dogs

You’ll have the 3 aussies: Liam, Leo, and Maverick. Lucy will be boarded this trip. Liam and Leo each get 1/2 cup of food morning and evening in the bowls in the kitchen. Maverick will get ~1/2-1 cup of food twice daily in his bowl in the cage in the living room out of the puppy food container. You will need to put him in the cage and lock the door, since he prefers the boy’s food and they prefer his.

Water bowls are in the kitchen, master bathroom, and a bowl in Maverick’s cage. Prior to leaving just make sure Maverick has water in his bowl. You can leave Liam and Leo out to roam during the day, but lock Maverick up in the cage. We just make sure the kids’ doors are shut and the door to the basement in closed so they don’t go shopping for toys in the playroom or kids’ rooms.

Maverick is still not quite potty trained. Just watch him; he will tell you when he needs to go out usually. At night we’ve been closing the bedroom door to keep him in the room. He doesn’t usually sleep in the bed, but will sleep on one of the dog beds. He does usually wake up and let you know ~3am he needs to go out. I’ve got the master bathroom door bypassed on the alarm system right now so that he can be let out at night.

Since the weather looks to be nice, you can let them out in the front yard; the collars are charged and in the basket by the front door. They’re labeled with which dog they go with, just press and hold the button on the back briefly to turn on, press and hold until you hear a beep to turn off.

Cats

Cat food is on the front porch; just make sure they have water and they usually get fed morning and evening.

Chickens

We will load up the chickens with food and water before we leave, so you shouldn’t have to worry about them or Dan. Just keep an eye on the water in the top of the coop. If it gets low or empty fill it with the bucket on the back porch; generally, Dan will stay in the run even when you open the top coop door.

If Dan the Man gets out... If the chickens, for whatever reason, get out, the garden fence is up and done. They do occasionally hop over the fence in the front, but just let them be and they'll be fine. The trick with Dan is to stand your ground, and don't lose eye contact. Use a bucket, or broom, to deflect him if needed.

Fish

The fish get ~1/2-1 tablespoon of food daily. Lighting is on a timer and will cycle between day and night modes.

Everything Else

As far as everything else goes, make yourself at home. The house will change modes and lighting throughout the day and depending on the weather.

The upstairs TV remote turns all the components on; just hit “Watch Roku” to turn everything on. If you use the theater downstairs, press and hold the Xbox button on the controller to turn on the system; you’ll also need to turn on the receiver and the projector. To turn off, press and hold the Xbox button again until a pop-up appears and select the option to turn off the console. This also turns off the receiver; press the power button on the projector twice to turn off the projector.
