Modes - Zendo Docs

Intro

Modes let you focus on the task at hand, keeping the screen free of distractions. Each mode shows only the accessories that matter for what you’re doing, and applies to both the floorplan and the Tiles view.

Switch modes

Tap
Select the mode you want: Control or Security & Safety.

When you add an accessory, Zendo automatically switches to the appropriate mode.

Mode and View sit in the same menu, one above the other, and they do different jobs. The mode decides which accessories you see. The view decides how they’re drawn - on the floorplan, or as a grid of tiles grouped by room. Either mode works in either view. See Tiles View.

Control

Control mode shows all your controllable accessories - lights, thermostats, fans, blinds, on/off accessories, and more. This is the default mode for day-to-day use.

Security & Safety

Security & Safety mode shows accessories related to safety and monitoring. You’ll see controllable accessories like Smart Door Locks and Garage Doors & Gates, as well as all your Presence Sensors, Doors & Windows Sensors, and Smoke, CO, Gas & Water Leak Sensors.
