So, you have a 60 second delay for your alarm. What do you mean by, when you opened your alarm? Did you mean your door? If so is it set to be the Main door in the sensor settings? Otherwise it will go off immediately.

When I opened my back door to go into my garage the siren went off immediately. I will correct that in the post.

You need to change that door sensor to Main door. It's default is Secondary door. Main door will allow the delay. Same goes for motion detectors. Change then to Entryway and they will also delay. Go to menu, settings, alarm base, choose sensor, gear on top right, change placement to Main door for door sensor. Or Entryway for motion detectors.

Same scenario. Siren goes off when exit door is opened during 60 sec delay. From this thread have changed door sensor placement to main & motion detector to entryway. All other sensors closed. Any additional ideas? Thanks.

Hi @healeybob. If the Exit Delay has already started, tripping another Contact Sensor or Motion Detector will set off the alarm. Are you triggering the delay before opening the door by opening a different door, or triggering a Motion Detector? If this is the case, I'd suggest reconsidering the placement of that sensor, so you can open the front door without starting the delay first.
