HS4 is a mobile friendly web application that’s designed to be used on any browser-
equipped device. All of the essential functions of the program may be accessed
from the main navigation bar at the top of the screen.
• Devices: Click here to add, remove and edit your smart home devices.

• Cameras: Click here to view live camera feeds and to watch recordings.
• Setup: Click here manage various system settings.

• Tools: Click here to access or manage timers, counters, backup, log and
more.
• Plugins: Click here to manage HS4 integration plugins.
Installing Plugins
Plugins are software programs that allow HS4 to integrate with smart devices and
technologies. For example, if you’re using Philips HUE smart bulbs, you’ll need to
install the Philips HUE plugin.
1. Open the HS4 web interface and navigate to the Plugins/Add page. All plugins
will appear. Click the plugin you wish to install and then click the INSTALL
button.
2. After installation is complete, click the button in the lower right corner to ena-
ble the plugin. Check the plugin documentation for more information about
setup.
Creating Devices
Devices are the fundamental building blocks for any HS4 system. When you add
any smart product to your system, a corresponding device is added to the software.
Device attributes will display as Features Some features are controllable and some
will simply display values or status. When you turn the device on or off, your smart
product will turn on or off. Here is what a multi-sensor device would look like in the

Grid View or HSM200 List View or HSM200 Multisensor
Since devices are added by using the controls and procedures engineered into
each plugin, you will need to refer to the plugin documentation for more infor-
mation regarding this. Learn More About Devices

Creating Events
Events are rules that work to
automate the smart devices in
your home. Each event is com-
prised of at least 1 Trigger and 1
Action. You may also apply Con-
ditions to any trigger. In this
example, a living room lamp is
turned on at sunset on Tuesdays.
