    摘要: A smart home system such a smart security system includes at least one controlled module capable of performing monitoring and/or control functions, and a controller that is in communication with the controlled module and a user device such as a smart phone or computer tablet. The system is operable to configure the user device with a first set of user interfaces and control functionalities in response to selection of a first operating mode, and to configure the user device with a second set of user interfaces and control functionalities in response to selection of a second operating mode. The first mode may be a master-controller mode in which the user device's graphics are displayed in portrait orientation, and the second mode may be a panel mode in which the user device's graphics are displayed in landscape orientation.
