Choose one of the following status values:

Home: People are home. This is the default status until you change it.

Away: Your home is not occupied.

Night: Your home is occupied and everyone has gone to bed.

Vacation: Your home will be unoccupied for an extended amount of time.

 

Modes are used to create rules that define what Touchstone should do when certain events happen. For example, you could create the following rules:

When on vacation, send a text if the motion sensor detects motion.

When in night mode, turn on the lights when a door opens.

When in away mode, set the thermostat to 72 degrees.
