A Scene is a customizable feature within the Guardian app that lets you take multiple actions across multiple Guardian devices with one tap. It’s available for both homes and businesses. The action your scene triggers can be anything from closing the garage, to arming your security system, to adjusting the thermostat. How you use the “Scenes” feature depends on what smart home and security devices you have.
Devices that can be controlled by scenes include:
- Security systems (arming/disarming)
- Smart locks
- Garage doors
- Thermostats
- Z-Wave lights
- Sonos speakers
- Legrand speakers
You can create your own custom Scenes or use the default Scenes that come pre-loaded.
What are default Scenes?
Your default Scenes are suggestions that are pre-made for you and built into your Guardian app. Default scenes cannot be deleted or renamed, but the command configuration can be edited to meet your needs.
Default Scenes for homes:
- Home
- Away
- Sleep
- Wake Up
Default Scenes for commercial accounts:
- Open
- Close
