Newbie - How to create a new Zone for the intruder alarm
Answered
I am an newbie, just purchased a Zipatile, and I am trying to add a couple door/windows sensors to the built in "Intruder" alarm, so it can be triggered if someone opens a door or window while the intruder alarm is armed.
I looked everywhere in the web interface and I cannot find anywhere how to create the zones..
I have attached a snapshot from the "Help" (aka user manual), where it clearly states that this is possible...but I can't find where to create the zones...
One of Zipato's YouTube videos states that there should be an icon to do this, right beside the alarm (or virtual alarm)...but the icon doesn't show in my web interface... (screenshot also attached)...
Any help (step by step) is welcome !
Thanks in advance !

Gustavo,
You need to add these sensors into Virtual Alarm on Zipatile. Follow these steps;
1. You need to make sure your door sensors are added already to Zipatile, if you can see your door sensors on the device browser, then they are already added. Otherwise proceed to add them using Zipato exclude/include process (make sure you set your device to exclusion/inclusion mode, see their manual).
2. On the left side of the web UI go to device browser / virtual alarms (little beacon icon, see attached screenshot)/ intruder. You can expand this virtual alarm in order to see the configured zones by clicking on the little lock "icon" and typing the password (Default is 0000).
3. Click on the plus icon to add zones and configure them. Select your sensor from the popup selector, make sure you read what every setting is for, expand the help by clicking on the little "i" icon.
4. Save and then sync your controller.
