Knowledge Base

Satel is a security and alarm system commonly used in residential, commercial, and larger building projects.

ComfortClick can integrate with Satel alarm systems to monitor and control alarm-related functions directly from bOS.

Depending on the installation, users can view alarm status, arm or disarm the system, monitor zones, receive alerts, and use alarm events in automation logic.

This allows the Satel alarm system to become part of the wider building automation setup, together with lighting, HVAC, shading, notifications, visualization, and other connected systems.

Alarm Settings

bOS Satel device supports the ETHM-1 Plus interface.

To establish a connection to the Satel alarm system you first need to find and enter the IP address. The port is set to 7094 by default and should be left as it is.

Before creating the bOS configuration, the Satel system should be programmed according to the manufacturer's instructions. Password must be entered, because it is required for most functions(Arm, Disarm, etc.) available in the Functions field. The Satel node contains two sub nodes(Partitions and Zones) which act as folders for partitions and zones.

Alarm Values

Alarm Values show the current status of the alarm system and provide live feedback from the connected alarm panel.

These values can include information such as:

• Connection status

• Trouble states

• Battery status

• Modem connection status

• Communication status

• System faults

• Other alarm panel information

Alarm values are useful for monitoring the health and current state of the alarm system directly from bOS.

They can also be used in visualization, alerts, notifications, and automation logic, allowing users and installers to quickly identify system issues or react to important alarm events.

Partition Values

Alarm partition represents the current partition state. The Partition Number should be set according to your Satel configuration report.

Alarm zones must also be created under Zones node. Node represents the alarm zone state. The Zone Number should be set according to your Satel configuration.

Virtual keypad for the partition can be added to frame by dragging the partition node to the theme. The keypad supports basic functions like entering user PIN, Arm, Disarm, Stay, and panic buttons.

Partition can also be manually operated with functions found under the Functions field.

Values field provides all information about the status of the alarm (armed, disarmed, in alarm...) All of these values can be used in our tasks or in the visualization.

Functions

Scrolling down to Functions field will provide us with all functions we can use to control our alarm. These functions can be manually run, we can use them in our other tasks (movement detection = True + status is away = in alarm).

We can also drag and drop  the functions into the theme and the client can manually run them.

They are however already built in the alarm main panel when dragged into the theme, with keypad and emergency buttons.

Zones

Each zone of the alarm must have a correct zone number. These zones are all programmed on the alarm panel it'self, not in bOS. Selecting the zone Values tab provides us with all information about the specific zone (open, tamper, in alarm..)

These zones can be used in our tasks and in the visualization itself to see the curent status of each zone.

Outputs

Satel Outputs are controllable outputs from the Satel alarm system. They can be used to trigger connected devices or functions, such as sirens, lights, gates, relays, indicators, or other alarm-related actions.

In bOS, Satel outputs can be monitored and controlled directly from the configuration and visualization.

Depending on the output type and project setup, users can perform actions such as:

• Toggle the output ON or OFF

• Activate the output

• Deactivate the output

• Use the output in automation logic, scenes, schedules, or alerts

This allows Satel alarm outputs to become part of the wider building automation system, where alarm-related actions can be combined with lighting, access control, notifications, and other ComfortClick functions.

Virtual Keypad

When Satel node is dragged into the visualization, full virtual keypad is created where clients can use their bOS Client app to arm, disarm or set stay status of their alarm.
