Add option to disable sensors in Disarmed Mode to prevent battery drain
Currently the Mode setting for a Door / Motion sensor allows for only a Armed or Disarmed setting by Mode for Away or Home , no option to disable them during Disarmed mode. The sensor detects open/close or motion 24/7 and logs it even in Disarmed mode, no way to turn it off/disable it. This causes major battery drain. I have a high usage front door that I do not need monitored when disarmed. My front door sensor is going through lithium batteries x 2, every 6 weeks because it keeps detecting open/close events all day even when Disarmed.

Alarm history is filled with useless motion detection events when alarm is disarmed. Create 2 issues - 1) Big distraction - cannot find real alarm event because there are so many motion events. 2) Drains battery Solution: 1) Please stop detecting motion when not required. OR 2) Stop logging motion event in Disarm/Home mode OR 3) Provide someway to filter motion events from History/Alarm tab. Please do not advise to go into individual device history to find out what happened. It is ridiculous solution. * List item

Agreed. "Disarmed" means that the alarms are disarmed. If the alarms are not disarmed, please change the mode name to something else.
