Control Zones Actions

Control zones allow you set up automatic triggers that integrate with the zone settings to precipitate reactions, allowing you to save time and manage your devices in a much more effective way. Previously, you could only get notified via email each time a device left or entered an area. 

Now, you can also set actions when a device enters or leaves a specific Control Zone, or both instances if you wish. This particular feature helps you manage and keep greater control over your managed devices in an automatic way. 

The following actions can be activated based on a pre-configured rule. 

• Sound Alarm 

• Send Message 

• Lock Device 

• Mark as missing
