GETTING STARTED WITH THE XFINITY HOME TOUCHSCREEN

Learn how to manage your Xfinity Home system using the touchscreen – the control
center that offers simple touch navigation and an easy-to-use interface. Arm and
disarm your system, view live video from your cameras, change settings on
devices such as Lights and Thermostats, and much more.

What You'll Need

 * Xfinity Home
 * Access to your Xfinity Home Station or touchscreen controller
 * Your Master Keypad Code (to access some features)


Difficulty
Easy

What Does Your Home Screen Look Like?
If your Home screen looks similar to the ones below, you're in the right place!
If not, see Getting Started.



QUICK CONTROL BUTTONS

Xfinity Home Stations have a Home button (gray triangle) on top of the frame to
return to your Home screen.


Touchscreen Controllers that look like the one below have a Home button (gray
circle) on the lower-right side of the frame.


Touchscreen Controllers that look like the one below have quick control buttons
at the bottom and right side to provide easy access to certain functions.


For the buttons on the front panel, from left to right:

 * Return to the Home screen.
 * Open the alphanumeric keypad. (Not currently used by Xfinity Home)
 * Return to the Home screen.
 * Send an emergency police alarm to the Central Monitoring Station.

For the buttons on the right side, from top to bottom:
 * Enter sleep mode, which turns off the screen display. Tap the screen to exit
   sleep mode.
 * Change the volume.





BUILT-IN MICROPHONE AND CAMERA

Some touchscreens have built-in microphones and cameras which aren't currently
enabled. Learn about microphone and camera privacy.




HOME SCREEN

Your Home screen is determined by your touchscreen model. All screens provide a
visible and audible alert when a sensor is triggered while the system is armed
or when an environmental sensor (such as a smoke detector) is activated.

The Home screen below is the main display for our Home Station and newer
Touchscreen Controller. The Security icons provide an at-a-glance overview of
your system's security status.


Swipe left or right to open the camera Home screen or the Weather Home screen.
Swipe up to access the Dashboard. Learn more about the Dashboard.


The Home screen below is the main display for our legacy touchscreen controller.
The screen is divided into three sections: Navigation Bar, Security Status Area
and Footer.


NAVIGATION BAR

The Navigation bar displays at the top of the Home screen.
 * The Dashboard icon (four squares) opens the Dashboard screen, where you can
   see the current statuses of your system devices and manage your devices.
 * The Notification icon alerts you with a blue dot when there is a problem with
   the system power, connection, communication or sensors. Tap the icon to view
   a list of trouble messages. You can snooze the notification for four hours;
   however, the notification will reappear until the problem is fixed.
 * The Weather icon, when tapped, displays current weather details and a
   five-day forecast.
 * The Activity icon (clock), when tapped, provides a view of recent events.
 * The Settings icon (gear) opens additional options for display, volume
   control, security, devices, accessibility, help & support and sleep mode.


Can't Access Settings? Settings are disabled when your system is armed.


SECURITY STATUS AREA

The Security Status area in the middle of the Home screen provides an
at-a-glance overview of your system's security status. For more information
about status icons, see the Security Features.


FOOTER AREA

The Footer area at the bottom of the Home screen contains an Emergency icon that
enables you to sound an immediate audible alarm and to send an emergency police
alarm to the Central Monitoring Station.






DASHBOARD

The Dashboard screen shows your system's current armed status and lists the
types of devices installed in your system. From here, you can:

 * Arm and disarm your security system.
 * Sound an immediate audible alarm and send an emergency police alarm to the
   Central Monitoring Station.
 * View live video from cameras.
 * Turn devices on and off and view detailed device information.
   





SECURITY FEATURES

The Security Status icons provide an at-a-glance overview of your system's
security status.

 * Green: The system is disarmed and is ready to be armed. Tap to open the Arm
   System screen, where you can arm your system and bypass individual sensors.
 * Red: The system is armed and in the armed mode (away, stay or night). Tap to
   disarm your system.
 * Gray: The system is disarmed and is not ready to be armed. Tap to open the
   Arm System screen, where you can see which sensors are preventing your system
   from being armed, bypass individual sensors and arm the system.
 * Countdown Timer: The system is counting down the number of seconds before
   arming becomes active. Tap Cancel to cancel the arming process.
 * A sensor has been triggered while the system is armed, and the entry delay
   has begun. Enter your keypad code to cancel the alarm process.
   


The Arm System screen is where you:
 * Arm your system
 * Access the Bypass Options screen to bypass individual sensors.

To open the Arm System screen when your system is disarmed, tap the Disarmed
icon or the Security shield on the Home or Dashboard screen.


For more information on security features, see the following:
 * Arming and Disarming your System

MANAGING CAMERAS

Use the Dashboard screen to view live video from the cameras controlled by your
system.

 1. Depending on your Home screen, swipe up to open the Dashboard or tap the
    Dashboard icon (four squares on the upper left).
 2. On the Dashboard screen, tap Cameras.
 3. If you have only one camera, live video from that camera displays. If you
    have multiple cameras, a smaller picture from each camera is displayed. Tap
    a camera image to view live video from that camera.
    
    
    * Live Video Monitoring (LVM) lets you create rules to automatically take
      pictures and video clips. You can access your saved pictures and videos
      from your Subscriber Portal, the Xfinity Home app and the X1 TV Box.
    * 24/7 Video Recording bookmarks video clips when your camera detects motion
      and lets you create custom video clips.
    * Learn more about which Xfinity Home video services are available.

Camera feeds are displayed in the order the cameras were installed. Although you
can't set a primary camera, the touchscreen remembers the last camera you viewed
and will default to that camera view until you swipe to a different camera.

Use the Dashboard screen and Settings options to manage your cameras.
 * Installing and pairing
 * Renaming
 * Removing


MANAGING SENSORS AND DETECTORS

Some security devices must be professionally installed by a Comcast technician,
including:

 * Motion Sensors
 * Door/Window Sensors
 * Water Detectors
 * Smoke Detectors
 * Other special devices

On the touchscreen, you can view sensor statuses, bypass sensors, and change the
order in which sensors appear in your system.

To see sensor statuses and bypass them:
 * When the system is disarmed, on the Dashboard, tap the Security shield.
 * If the system is ready to be armed, the Arm System screen displays. Tap View
   Zones. If the system is not ready to be armed, you'll go directly to the
   Bypass Options screen.
 * The Bypass Options screen shows the status of each sensor, such as whether a
   door or window is open or closed. If there's an error associated with a
   sensor, you'll see an alert under it. Tap Bypass to have the system bypass
   (ignore) a sensor. When bypassed, the sensor won't trigger an alarm and no
   rules you have set up for the sensor will run.



To see a history of sensor activity, see View Events and Notifications.

To change the order in which sensors appear in your system, see Changing the
Sensor Display Order.


CUSTOMIZING

Some aspects of the touchscreen can be customized. You can configure some screen
settings and the screensaver, change sound and audible feedback settings, change
the language to Spanish or set a brief hold on functionality, so that you can
clean the display.
