I’m using SmartThings for monitoring “secure” zones inside a building. I have two modes: staffed and unstaffed. I have two door contacts. I’ve configured automation rules to switch between staffed and unstaffed modes depending on the time of day. If the door contacts are opened during unstaffed mode…

does it need to be PIN protected?

Changing the mode from Unstaffed (secured) to Staffed (unsecured) needs to be PIN protected. And it would be great if multiple PIN codes could be create for different individuals.

Thank you for the info RBoy, I really appreciate that! Although I found on your website that the device handler is only compatible with the Classic SmartThings app which is an issue for me as I’m using the new SmartThings app.

You need the Classic app to install it. All of our DTHs and apps work with the new app but only basic controls will be displayed for the devices (SmartApps show everything) due to fact that the new app is still in development.
