Security System
Learn how to configure and use the built-in security modes in CUBE OS to protect your smart home.
CUBE OS includes a Security System feature that lets you use your connected sensors - such as motion detectors, door/window sensors, or other triggers - to monitor your home and trigger alarms or automations.
If your device hardware supports it, the built-in speaker can act as a siren, while other systems can trigger alerts or automations through configured actions.
1. Security Modes
CUBE OS provides three pre-defined modes to match your daily routines:
Home Mode
When you’re home and only want partial monitoring (e.g., door sensors active).
Away Mode
When you’re not home - all selected sensors will trigger alarms.
Sleep Mode
When you’re at home but asleep, typically only perimeter sensors remain active.
In this example, we’ll focus on Away Mode, which is used when no one is home.
2. Configure Away Mode
Open the Security System from the main menu.
Click on the Away Mode card to open the configuration panel.
Set up the following options:
Siren Type – choose between built-in or linked siren devices.
Volume – adjust the alarm loudness.
Trigger Sensors – toggle on the sensors you want to include.
Active sensors will appear on the right side of the screen. Once enabled, these sensors will automatically trigger the alarm when motion is detected or a door/window is opened.
3. What Happens When an Alarm is Triggered
When the system is in Away Mode, and any of the selected sensors is activated:
The siren will sound immediately (if supported).
The system can trigger linked automations - for example:
Sending a notification
Turning on all lights
Closing blinds
Recording video via a connected camera
