Create an Arm Panel to Lock or Disarm to Unlock Access Control Doors rule
The Arm Panel to Lock Access Control Doors rule allows you to automatically trigger selected Access Control doors to lock or unlock when the panel is armed/disarmed, saving time and providing peace of mind when closing the business each day.
It is recommended to have a double swipe to lock rule at every lock to ensure that the employee can still lock the doors locally if a controller is offline and the rule cannot run. For more information about creating these rules, see Create a Double Swipe to Lock/Unlock rule.
Important: The controller must be online for this rule to run.
