If you use these thru SHM, I am not sure how to remedy adding the ability to provide a “delay” so you have time to disarm the panel. If someone can figure this out, it would save both you and me a lot of trouble with figuring out “alternative” solutions.
@redloro any ideas?
@got_toys @azbutz did some research today and apparently the instant arm issue with SHM has been causing members some grief for some time… there are workarounds available but they’re just that… hacks to the SHM. Check these out:
Like many of you, I’ve become very frustrated with Smart Home Monitor. For me it’s very consistant, but it’s lack of entry/exit delays makes it pretty much unusable. I arm and disarm the house using z-wave button pads next to both of my doors. I tried Smart Alarm (a fantastic smartapp) for a while, but it would fail to disarm/arm a little too frequently for my taste. However, I found a workaround that works quite well for me with SHM. I’ve created 2 modes & routines “Away” and “confirmed away”. I put the house into “away” mode when leaving. SmartThings then automatically triggers “Confirmed Away” when there is no motion for 5 minutes when in away mode. I have SHM set to arm when confirmed away triggers (the routine). I then have the house disarm using presence sensors, which I have in both…
How hard would it be for Samsung to add exit/entry delay?
Did you manage to solve this? “Smart Alarm” I’m not sure will work for me.
Have any of you tried this:
I had to bang my head against this for a while, but I successfully applied a 20-second delay before Smart Home Monitor will issue an intruder alert. It required tweaking a couple of SmartApps, as I explain below. But the result works. And I’m pretty proud of it–even if it is a Rube Goldberg sequence. Here is a basic summary for those of you equipped to handle it. (Specific implementation details are further below):
(1) All of the Open/Close sensors are configured to trigger a Virtual Switch (“S1”)
(2) S1 shuts off after 20 seconds (you could set any number of seconds)
(3) When S1 turns off, it triggers another Virtual Switch (“S2”)
(4) S2 activates motion on a Virtual Motion Sensor
(5) SHM alarm monitors for motion on only the Virtual Motion Sensor
(6) Both S2 and Virtual Motion Sens…
