You can use an empty space for 180 days from the date the space was created or from the date the last device was deleted. After this period, an empty space will be deleted.

To avoid space configuration loss, the system sends a notification after 173 days from the date the space was created or from the date the last device was deleted.

The system will delete the empty space even if it is armed. The user can delete the empty space only when the system is disarmed. When the space is deleted (automatically or manually), its events are also deleted.

The direct connection (Monitoring Station tab) is the channel used to transmit hub events directly to the Central Monitoring Station (CMS) of the security provider, bypassing our server.

When direct connection is used, all events are communicated directly to the security company’s central monitoring station without affecting the functioning of the Ajax apps. If the direct connection is lost for any reason, the server acts as a redundant communication channel.
