Without a keypad... how do children disarm ST?

@Gossamer

Agreed. This user is looking for recos for smartthings. Not terse opinions on smartthings as an alarm system. I would like a keypad as well for the same use case.

You are replying to a post which is over a year old, so the information in this thread is now out of date.

See the following FAQ on keypad options. ( this is a clickable link)

FAQ: Can I add a keypad to control my garage door?

I have an iris zwave garage door controller that works great with smartthings. I also have a zwave front door lock that comes with a keypad on it. My family is now asking if I can add a keypad to the garage door. I love the way that I can use smartthings to manage multiple codes for the front door. Is there some kind of zwave keypad that I could use for the garage door with smartthings in a similar fashion to the front door lock?

Also, if the issue is just something simple for kids to use, the new SmartThings/ADT security panel system offers a key fob device for disarming. Note that this device can only be used with that specific model, not with the original hub. But if you haven’t bought your hub yet, and you are primarily interested in security, you should definitely look at the ADT/SmartThings things model.
