Android Quick Access Device Commands

Android™ mobile users can now use Android Quick Access Device Controls for seamless control of their smart devices from the Quick Settings panel. With just a tap, users can activate Scenes and conveniently control their lights, locks, and garage doors and view their thermostat’s status.

To access the Quick Settings panel, swipe down from the home screen and navigate to the Device Control tile to send commands. Quick actions can be set up and managed from the Quick Access Device Control page in the Alarm.com app. Plus, for seamless access to the Alarm.com app, simply long-press the tile to be brought directly to the device page.

Quick Access Device Controls require Android 11 or later as well as Alarm.com mobile app version 5.7+.

With Alarm.com v5.7, and Android v15, going to Home, add App, Alarm.com shows up, but it only says “Compatible controls unavailable” underneath. I do not see any options.

They need to be enabled in the Alarm.com App first. In the app tap the Menu, App Settings, Device Controls.
