Also would be nice to have something for the car like to do motorized gate and garage door that you don’t really want happening when on foot or arriving via uber etc.

I’m willing to revive this SmartApp if folks are interested in it. It was mostly written as a “proof of concept” and didn’t get a lot of traction.

This technically gives you 2-Factor Authentication for Disarming. You need to have one of the specific joined button controller (such as Aeon Mini-Motes Z-Wave), plus know the code to input.

Use Buttons As PIN Input ("Security Keypad") e.g., Aeon Aeotec Minimote, ZWN-SC7 Enerwave 7 Button; trigger to Routines, lock/unlock, arm/disarm, mode, lights

This is a pre-release BETA: Testing and feedback is highly encouraged.

While certainly many folks are getting a decent level of reliability from phone and/or ZigBee presence sensors, I personally have heard to many stories of unreliability.

Using ActionTiles or another keypad (including the keypad of your smart lock, like a Schlage; or an Iris Keypad, or … Buttons As PIN shown above) is a lot more like a traditional alarm control panel … there’s a reason that use model is still in use today in even the most modern alarm systems.
