Hi there! Long time Smartthings user here who uses Smart Home Monitor (SHM) as my alarm system. It works wonderfully, with the major drawback that it is a pain to arm/disarm. Location based services don’t work reliably for me, and fumbling with the phone/app to arm and disarm is a pain. I purchase…

You can’t in the new app. You can only disarm within the app or based on a time of day.

As @oldcomputerwiz said, it can’t be done in the new V3 app. They have changed their design philosophy for security features. See the FAQ: FAQ: Why can’t I use Geopresence or an Automation to set the alarm state in the new (V3) app? (also applies to unlocking smart locks)

ST could help mitigate some of this problem by adding the ability to change SHM state by using a keypad. It wouldn’t help you, @JDRoberts , but I think it might be a viable alternative for many of us though. I don’t see how that would be any less secure than time based or app based disarming. Just…

I hope that they are working on custom DTH, as well as custom smartapps, as they were options they presented in the survey from earlier this year but only time will tell. Maybe we will see something come from the conference in October. Even if the only keypad that worked was ST’s own keypad that …

[image] WestCoaster: I purchased a Schlage lock with homes that I could tie my SHM alarm state to locking /unlocking the door This will only work if you’re using the Classic SHM app, the new SHM app cannot be controlled via external apps as yet. If you have access to RBoy Apps, check out the …

Thanks Rboy! I was hoping to use the new app to avoid having to have two apps. It confuses the family on which to use, as only the new app supports our Samsung dishwasher, tv, and fridge smart features. That said, looks the classic app it will have to be. Excited to buy and use LUM as it looks lik…

Z-Wave keypads are in short supply these days, the Popp Z-Wave keypad is one that is popular in the EU. I don’t think it’s available in the US as yet, you can find some 4 button key fobs like the nanomote or the nanomote quad or the hank but they are more like buttons and not a full keypad. I think…

Zigbee it is! I can’t tell from that article (I may be missing it) which if they keypads have LEDs that support showing the SHM status.

Yes all of them do, in the posts in there you’ll find some comparisons of the keypads, for example this is one post: [image] [RELEASE] Enhanced ZigBee Keypad Device Handler - Centralite, UEI, IRIS, Xfinity, Scout Community Created Device Types EDIT: Side by side detailed …

There are some Z wave choices for the US also, but the zigbee ones are more popular. See the FAQ.
