How do I handle a scenario where mode is set to night and SHM is armed, then someone else arrives?

Haven’t had this popup yet, because usually at night my wife and I come and go together. But how would I handle a scenario where my wife was home and “goodnight” was already run and SHM armed and ST set to night, and then I come home? It would disarm SHM and set ST to home which would be a good thing so I can come in without setting off the alarm, but then I would manually have to set the ST mode back to night. I have goodnight automated to run at 10 pm every day. I guess the same scenario would also exist if we both came home after 10 pm.

Scenario:

  1. Wife is home alone
  2. At 10 pm “goodnight” automatically runs, sets ST to night, and SHM to armed home.
  3. I come home at 10:30, and “I’m back runs”, setting ST to home and SHM to disarmed.

How can I automate the running of “goodnight” again 5 minutes after I arrive, so the SHM is armed again?

You could set when things quiet down if you have motion sensors and light switch’s to rerun goodnight…

I’ve also programmed goodnight to a wall switch with a press and hold down in the bathroom, and goodmorning to my bedroom wall switch with a press and hold up so I can let the dogs out at night if need be.

I’ve installed wall switch’s for all lights and fans, only switch that isn’t is the garbage disposal!!!
