To test SpaceControl, press the disarm button to avoid triggering an alarm. If the command is delivered, the LED will light up green. The red LED indicates that the command has not been delivered.

For Button, it’s better to enable Control mode and temporarily disable scenarios. After pressing the button, the green LED will indicate the delivery of the command. If Button’s LED lights up red — command has not been delivered.

To test DoubleButton, press one of two available buttons: the device will light up green (command was delivered) and then red (no alarm was raised). The LED will light up red twice if the command is not delivered.

OS Malevich 2.9 update has added the ability to configure the alarm type for Button in the panic button mode.

Five types of alarms are available:

  • Intrusion
  • Fire
  • Auxiliary request
  • Panic button
  • Gas leak

The type of alarm is set in the device settings (Ajax appDevices tab → select the device you needSettings Alarm type).

Selecting the type of alarm changes not only the notification text in the Ajax app but also the event code that is sent to the CMS of the security company. This helps security companies and security system users respond to threats appropriately.

With OS Malevich 2.9 update, permanent deactivation of devices without removing them from the system has become available.

Deactivation may be necessary if the device is incorrectly installed or configured, loses connection with the hub, or has failed.

  • Select a hub if you have several of them or if you are using the PRO app.
  • Go to the Devices menu.
  • Select the device from the list.
  • Go to its Settings .
  • Select the type of permanent deactivation:
    • Entirely — the device does not execute system commands or run automation scenarios, and the system ignores device alarms and other notifications.
    • Lid only — the system ignores the notifications on the detector’s tamper button triggering.
