Qolsys IQ Panel 2 – Configure Bluetooth Disarming
Overview
The Qolsys IQ Panel 2 includes Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE 4.0), supporting up to five paired mobile devices for Bluetooth disarming. When enabled, the system disarms automatically from Armed Away when a paired device comes within range. Events are logged in history (e.g., “Disarmed by John Doe’s iPhone”).
Note: Devices can only be added/edited locally at the panel, but can be deleted locally or remotely (Partner Portal or MobileTech).
