Question

I have installed a contact sensor as a tilt sensor to let me know if the garage door is open. Nice, but. it occurs to me that if I set the alarm when I go out early in the AM, and wife is asleep, but I forget to disarm the system from the driveway instead of when I come in. this would be a bad thing. What has everyone done to work around this issue?  

Answer 1

You can set different sensors to trigger or not trigger in the app

Answer 2

Yes, but the issue is that when I come home, the alarm may be in home, may be in away, and disabling either or both do no good unless I strictly want to keep it unmonitored. That is better than nothing in the cases where I wonder if I left the door open when I drove off, but defeats the option of using to be advised if someone opens the door in the night. I guess you can't have it both ways.  

Answer 3

Yeah, I set mine to never trigger the alarm. I'm ok with that (not ideal but I'm not sure what could be done to solve it) , but I do wish I could have it tell me if I try to arm and it's open.  

Answer 4

I have it set to trigger when I’m home. Not when I’m away. But I also have a motion detector in the garage. Works for me.
