Set the schedule to automatically arm or disarm the motion sensor at certain time of the day, and days of theweek.

Click the keypad button to openMotion Sensor Options screen foran individual tag.

You can choose sensitivity (0 to100, 50 is recommended toeliminate false alarms in mostenvironment), and responsiveness("Slow" is 5x the delay and batterylife of "Fast") that best suit yourapplication.

When door/gate mode is enabled,you can choose the thresholdangle, when tag orientationchanges more than this, the dooris deemed open, when tagorientation returns within thisthreshold, it is deemed closed.

You can define a custom URL (such as REST endpoint of home automation systems) to be called on each type ofevent for each tag individually or all tags. Each URL may include placeholders such as "{0}" or "{1}" to be replacedwith specific information from each event. With home automation systems such as Universal Devices Insteon/ISYor Phillips Hue Lamps that supports HTTP based API, you can turn on light when door is opened, or motion isdetected, for example.

Click the ">" button then choose"URL Calling...".

Click on the event(s) you want toenable URL calling, and enter theURL of your REST Web service.

If the HTTP REST API you arecalling requires HTTP Verb otherthan "GET" or requires argumentto be sent in HTTP body, click onthe ">" button at the right tospecify these.

Wireless Settings allows you to re-program the flash memory in each tag to use a different frequency to resolveinterference problems, and to achieve a desired balance between range, battery life and response time.

Click the "Settings..." button at thevery bottom and choose"Wireless."

The system remembers theprevious (Old) settings and use itfor tags whose flash memoryfailed to update. When you modifyany of the "New Setting",estimated range and battery lifewill be calculated.

The longer the response time, orthe faster the data rate, the longerthe battery life. But faster datarate reduces range. Click the"Migrate" button and Tag Managerwill attempt to update the flashmemory of all tags to use the newsettings.

Before update succeeds,Tag Manager communicates withthat Tag using the old wirelesssetting. Alternatively, click the ">"button and then "Use new wirelesssetting" if in fact the tag hasmigrated successfully but did notget recognized that way.

Since the Tag Manager has toremember the old wireless settingwhen there is still tag using it, youcannot introduce a third wirelesssetting until all tags on your taglist finishes migration to the newsetting.
