Monitoring As A Service
If you don't want to manage devices and alerts yourself, then the monitoring service is for you. To use this service,
devices are purchased and placed where you need them. We take care of the rest. This includes monitoring your devices, creating the alerts based on your threshold limits.
A basic set of devices are available to cover most of your needs. This includes plugs for any lights and appliances,
flooding, motion, doors/windows, temperature, humidity, and vibration.

Vacation Mode
This feature can be used to make your home or business look occupied when nobody is there. Lights can be turned on & off
at random intervals. They can also be configured to come on and go off at specific times during the day.
The minimum & maximum number of minutes are set for both the normal and reset state. A random number of minutes will be
selected between these two threshold limits.

Devices
A device is defined as an object that can be monitored and controlled. Some devices can only be monitored
(ie. motion sensors or vibration sensors). Other devices can receive commands to change state (ie. light switches).
There are also other types of devices like web page content, web image changes, domain names, and more.
The status of any device is available across the platform to be used in events and actions. This means the status of one
device can cause an action in another device.
Device automation is built into the platform. This allow you to create a system that will make changes to your environment
per your requirements.
We are always looking to add new devices to the platform. The current list of devices should cover most of needs of the average
person or business. If you have a device you would like us to add, send an email to
support@offsitelabs.com. To see the currently support device list, click on the

Simulation
You don't have to have a physical device in order to check it out. This feature is good during the trial period which
allows you to install the system and immediately begin using it as if you had the actual device.
The physical devices supported by the platform have the ability to be added or changed to simulation mode. There are other
devices that do not have this option. This would include any device that is available on the Internet like domain names,
web pages, web images, and others.
To see the list of devices you can add in simulation mode, visit the device list and select the 'Simulation Devices' option.

Web Portal
The web portal provides remote access to your devices. Get a status at any time by logging into your account. You can
view devices that are in an alert state.
There are also options to shutdown parts or the entire system. You can separately enable/disable alerts, events,
cameras, and vacation mode.
