Peripheral Settings
The Peripheral Settings dialog is the main configuration interface for individual sensors. Its content adapts to the sensor type selected. All peripheral types share a General section; the remaining settings are type-specific.
Path: Devices → Peripherals → select a peripheral → Settings
General settings (all types)
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Display name for this peripheral |
| Description | Optional notes |
| Location | The location this peripheral is assigned to |
| Enabled | Toggle the sensor on or off |
| Silent | When on, the sensor continues monitoring but alarm notifications are suppressed |
Reader settings
Available for sensors of type Reader.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Reader type | The physical reader model or class |
| Protocol | Communication protocol: RS485, Wiegand, or OSDP |
| Position | The physical position of the reader: Entry or Exit |
| Auth type | Authentication method: Card, PIN, Card + PIN, or similar |
Lock settings
Available for sensors of type Lock.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Lock type | Fail Safe - unlocks on power loss. Fail Secure - stays locked on power loss |
| Voltage | Operating voltage: 12 V or 24 V |
| Unsecure mode | When enabled, holds the lock in the unsecured (open) state |
| Lock-sense pairing | Links this lock to a door contact (lock-sense) sensor for combined door and lock monitoring |
Analog sensor settings
Available for Analog sensors (temperature, humidity, pressure, and similar).
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Range standard | The environment standard used to interpret readings and determine alarm thresholds |
| High border | Upper threshold - readings above this value trigger an alarm |
| Low border | Lower threshold - readings below this value trigger an alarm |
| Hysteresis | Deadband around the threshold to prevent alarm flickering near the boundary |
Analog input settings
Available for sensors of type Analog Input.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Linear scaling | Minimum and maximum values for mapping the raw electrical signal to an engineering unit |
| Conversion | The unit or conversion formula applied to the scaled value |
Digital sensor settings
Available for Digital sensors (inputs, outputs, doors).
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Input inverted | Flip the logical state of the input (active-high ↔ active-low) |
| Label On / Label Off | Custom display labels for the two states - e.g. “Open” / “Closed” |
| Hold delay | Minimum time the input must remain active before it is registered as a state change |
| Alarm delay | Time after threshold crossing before an alarm is generated |
Air quality (IAQ) settings
Available for Indoor Air Quality sensors.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Temperature unit | Celsius or Fahrenheit |
| Environment standard | The standard used to interpret gas concentration thresholds |
| Thresholds | High and low borders for each measured parameter (CO2, TVOC, etc.) |
Tilt sensor settings
Available for Tilt sensors.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Tilt threshold | Alarm angle for the tilt axis |
| Pitch threshold | Alarm angle for the pitch axis |
| Roll threshold | Alarm angle for the roll axis |
Modbus sensor settings
Available for sensors added to Modbus controllers.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Address type | Register type: Coils, Inputs, Holding Registers, or Input Registers |
| Address | The Modbus register address |
| Address count | Number of registers to read for multi-register values |
| Data type | The data format of the register value |
| Scaling | Multiplier applied to the raw register value before display |
| Precision | Number of decimal places to show |
| Hold delay | Minimum time the active state must be held before registration |
| Alarm delay | Time after threshold crossing before an alarm is generated |
Bulk editing
When multiple peripherals of the same type are selected, the type-specific settings dialog opens with an Apply to all checkbox. Enable the checkbox and click Save to apply the changes to all selected peripherals. A confirmation dialog appears before the bulk update is submitted.
When peripherals of different types are selected, only a Location picker is shown.
