Arm system with front door still open, don't require bypass
Currently if my entry/exit (front door) is open when I try to arm my alarm, it asks me to bypass the sensor. I must pull the door closed, start the arming from the keypad and then open the door and leave. This is daft. I should be able to have the door open the whole time and still be able to start the arming countdown. I have never known an alarm that does not allow this.

Agree with everyone here. It is in really irritating to have to close the door and return to the keypad. The fix is simple. Arm the system at the end of the countdown period. Any sensor not as required triggers the alarm.The concern may be that someone drives off and leaves a screaming siren behind them 15s later, with a callout initiated because they didn’t close the kitchen window or something .To deal with this the alarm should say which sensor requires bypass. e.g. “front door open “. Ignore and leave. Alarm arms after countdown. Or, “Bathroom window open”. Oops, better rectify that.Come on RingK

Just installed system and found this annoying flaw. Looks like customer support just reply with platitudes. It's such a simple thing to fix so why is this discussion going on for 18 months. System may be going back.

Thank goodness I found this feature request and associated issue (https://community.ring.com/t/front-door-requires-bypass-if-open/3376/69). Was about to drop £289 on the XL pack with siren but I'll wait until this is fixed. With kids we'll hardly ever arm with the door shut, and getting them to remember to do this on their way out just won't happen - the system will end up unarmed.

Please fix. It's really annoying. I love going out with the kids and leaving the phone behind. Please let the main door sensor be armed once the exit time has expired
