After downloading the App, proceed with the first acquisition of the control unit: enter the name and serial number of the control unit, by scanning the QR code using the camera or by typing it manually.
As an optional step, you can enter the IP address, port and secure connection but, if not provided, the connection will be made via Ksenia SecureWeb. Once the PIN has been entered, you can access the Home Page of the App to start managing your control unit.

From the Home page, three large colored icons immediately highlight the status of the system and simply click on them to arm or disarm the system, in its entirety or partially. Total arming only activates the areas programmed for total arming with or without an entry / exit delay, disarming can be total / partial, partial arming only activates some areas with or without an entry / exit delay. It is possible to have several arming scenarios configured, in which case it is possible to select the desired one from the list. Finally, by clicking on the system status icon, you enter the partition page where you can check their status and enter them manually and individually, without using scenarios.

Inside the Home Page, at the bottom, there is the section dedicated to favorites, that is, all the most used elements that the user always wants to have at hand. You can pair up to three favorites if you are using a smartphone, and up to six favorites if you are using a tablet. To select a new favorite, simply search for it in the App, hold your finger on the icon and click on the star.

On the left side of the dashboard you can see the temperatures, internal and external, detected by the siren or by the keypads present in the system and, on the right, you can read the name of the location where the control unit is installed and an icon that represents the situation weather in that location.

The lares 4.0 App allows you to choose the color of the theme that will be used. By default the theme is light but, by enabling the Dark theme option, the App will take on a dark gray theme. You can make this change by clicking on the gear icon on the Home Page of the App, which contains all the general options.

In the Info section, on the Home Page of the App, you can view the complete profile of the Installer: phone number, email address, company and a photograph of him. It is important to be able to quickly access all the contact details of your certified Installer, thus having timely support in case of need.

In the Security section, you can access the User Management page which shows a complete overview of all users authorized to manage the system. By accessing with a “master” type pin, it is possible to completely enable or disable the various standard users, or only some tools available to them for managing the system, such as PIN, Tag and Remote Control. Furthermore, it is possible to change their description and their PIN code which must always be six digits.

Within the Security page, you can access the time programmer: it allows “master” users to plan the execution of certain scenarios, at specific times and days of the week. The start time can be indicated in “hours and minutes”, “sunrise” or “sunset”. The sunrise and sunset values ​​are calculated based on the geographical position (configured latitude and longitude) and the time zone in which the lares 4.0 control panel is installed. In this way, for example, it is sufficient to select “sunset” to start, for example, the irrigation of the lawn or turn on the external lights, without specifying a time but the control unit will run the scenario at sunset time for that period of the year in that specific area. In the programming of the days of the week, it is possible to access the calendar of holidays relating to the country in which the control unit is installed. In this way, the app is able to distinguish weekdays from holidays, thus allowing the programming of a weekly routine that does not include any holidays.

On the Security page, you can access the Event Log to see in detail everything that happened within the system. There is also the possibility of viewing the images saved by the control panel when an alarm, sabotage or sensor masking event has occurred. Thanks to this function it is very simple and fast to check what really happened. Furthermore, by clicking on the Cameras category, it is possible to directly access the live images of the cameras, both locally and remotely

On this page you can find the complete list of all the sensors present within your system, with an indication of their status. Each sensor is recognizable because it has a customized icon based on the category to which it belongs, assigned during the programming phase. By clicking on it, a pop-up appears that allows you to exclude or re-include it, also offering you the possibility to add it to your favorites. By touching the funnel icon, however, you can filter the display of the sensors based on their status: you can choose, for example, to display only those that are currently alarmed, in order to understand if and which windows you have possibly left open.

Within the section dedicated to Partitions, you can view the indication of the arming status of that part of the system, any delay times in progress and the ability to arm or disarm the individual partitions. Just click on one of the icons to choose whether to arm or disarm the corresponding partition. Partitions can also be managed within the Dashboard by clicking on the icon in the center of the page.
