Create an Access Control holiday schedule
The Holiday Schedules feature allows users to pause all automation rules and lock/unlock schedules for Access Control doors on selected dates. By configuring Holiday Schedules, customers can choose to pause specific Access Plans within their account to prevent user entry on holidays.
Features
- This feature is available for single system accounts.
- When an Access Plan is set to Paused on the Manage Holidays page, door access remains enabled for users during holidays, but all automated locking/unlocking schedules and related automation rules for those doors are suspended.
- For security panels or Z-Wave locks, access will remain active even if the Access Plan is paused on a holiday.
Note: Access plans will remain active on the holiday unless paused.
Holiday Schedules only affect automation rules limited to Access Control doors, such as First Person In, First Card Unlock, Double Swipe to Lock/Unlock, and scheduled door locking/unlocking. Automation rules involving other device types (e.g., Swipe to Disarm for alarm panels) will not be paused for holidays.
