Manual or automatic execution of scenarios, workflows, conditional rules, notifications, and multi-device coordination.
Functional purpose
Automation and Smart Scenarios allows Horus to coordinate actions, responses, and notifications based on human decisions, detected events, logical conditions, or calendars. Its goal is to turn operations into repeatable and controlled flows.
Operating value
Scenarios reduce manual intervention, speed up responses, and standardize protocols. A team can activate coordinated actions on demand or let Horus execute automatic responses when conditions defined by events, schedules, permissions, or device states are met.
Included capabilities
| Capability | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Manual scenario execution | Allows an authorized user to activate a coordinated set of actions on demand. |
| Automated workflows | Executes action sequences without manual intervention when previously defined conditions are met. |
| Event-driven automation | Triggers responses from events generated by cameras, sensors, users, rules, or intelligent analysis. |
| Conditional logic execution | Evaluates conditions before acting, combining states, permissions, schedules, events, or other operating criteria. |
| Multi-device orchestration | Coordinates actions across cameras, sensors, actuators, and other connected resources inside an instance. |
| Simultaneous action coordination | Executes several actions at the same time to respond quickly and consistently to a situation. |
| Automated notifications | Sends notices to authorized users when an event occurs, a rule is met, or a scenario is executed. |
| Group-based notifications | Routes communications to full teams according to group membership and permission rules. |
| Scheduled automations | Executes actions or routines on dates, times, or intervals defined in advance. |
| Calendar-aware scenarios | Adjusts scenario behavior according to operating calendars, days, schedules, or special windows. |
| Trigger-based responses | Activates actions when a specific trigger occurs, such as an event, state change, or detected condition. |
| Operational playbooks | Standardizes response protocols so incidents or routines are handled with consistent steps. |
Relationship with the Horus ecosystem
This domain uses devices, users, groups, dashboards, events, calendars, and security rules. Automations can trigger notifications, modify views, activate actuators, coordinate cameras, or execute playbooks according to each instance context.
