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.

To deactivate a device, in the Ajax app:

  • 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.

Tamper is a miniature button on the device board. It reports an alarm in case of opening the device enclosure, removing the device from the mounting panel, or detaching it from the surface.

The tamper status is displayed in Ajax apps, in the Enclosure section in the states of each device. When the body status is Open, a fault symbol appears on the device icon.

The temperature is measured by sensors inside each detector, which can heat up differently due to the circulation of air currents in the room. The value may differ from the ambient temperature by 2°C.

The temperature displayed in the Rooms tab is the average of these temperatures for each detector assigned to the room. The temperature data of the street detectors is not taken into account.

To check that the device is operating correctly, carry out the detection area and signal strength tests.

The detection zone test helps to determine at what distance the detector will detect motion. To determine the detection zone, monitor the LED indicator of the device: during the test, it lights constantly, and turns off when motion is detected. At the same time, a pop-up window appears in the app informing you that the device has detected motion.

In-app notifications are available for hubs with firmware version Malevich 2.26 and later and in apps of such versions and later:

  • Ajax Security System 3.11 for iOS;
  • Ajax Security System 3.11 for Android;
  • Ajax PRO: Tool for Engineers 2.11 for iOS;
  • Ajax PRO: Tool for Engineers 2.11 for Android;
  • Ajax PRO Desktop 4.11 for macOS;
  • Ajax PRO Desktop 4.11 for Windows.

The Jeweller signal strength test allows to determine signal strength and stability in the potential installation place of the device.

By default, the hub is set to a hub–detector ping interval of 36 seconds and 30 undeliverable data packets to consider the device lost. With these settings, the hub will detect the loss of the detector in 18 minutes.

To reduce this time, go to the hub settings in the Jeweller section and change the settings. The minimum time for detecting loss of connection with the device is 36 seconds (3 polls of 12 seconds each).

The time before raising the alarm by the communication loss between hub and device is calculated with the following formula:

Detector Ping Interval × Number of missed pings to determine connection failure

Note that with the minimum ping interval, short-term interference can lead to loss of connection with the device. Therefore, set the minimum values only if it is critically important to promptly inform about events in the system.
