The display elements of the SUI also include an arm button. The Arm button is used to arm/disarm the security panel. A single arm button (e.g., button labeled “Arm”) can be used on the SUI of a first client device type (e.g., Touchscreen, iPhone, etc.). Two different buttons (e.g., “Arm Stay” and Arm Away”) can be used on the SUI of a second client device type (e.g., web portal, mobile portal, etc.). In either embodiment, when the system is armed, the arm button (“Arm”, “Arm Stay” and Arm Away”) label will change to say “Disarm”. If the system is in the process of arming, the button is disabled.
The display elements of the SUI include device and system warnings, as described above. These are informational warnings that are not associated with specific sensors, and involve more detail than can be displayed in the text summary display element. The device and system warnings display element is cumulative (e.g., built up in a list), but is not so limited. The device warnings include, but are not limited to, the following: camera(s) offline; light(s) offline; thermostat(s) offline; lock(s) offline; [future device(s)?] offline. The system warnings include, but are not limited to, the following: using cellular backup connection; using backup battery; sensor(s) bypassed; home management mode: [Mode]. The device and system warnings may be combined into one box, or indicated separately in respective regions or portions of the SUI, depending on a type of the client device (e.g., combined into one box on a web portal or a mobile portal, but indicated in separate boxes on a Touchscreen or iPhone device).
