The gen2 keypad is 10x better, faster, more responsive, gives visual and verbal time delay on entry and exit

@strick does it light up ?

@georgiannegeorgic It lights up, and has a entry/exit delay bar in red that gives you visual of how long is left. It also says entry or exit delay started. Best thing is it is immediately responsive, id disarm the first gen keypad and 8 seconds later it would finally disarm. and I never knew if it disarmed or not till surprise !
