Leaving while in home mode

What am I supposed to do if I am currently in home mode and want to leave. I would like the system to remain in home mode. I was in home mode and I entered my code and pressed the home mode. I opened my front door and closed it. I assumed this would work and not trip the alarm but my alarm ended up going off. Please help. **Edit:** To clarify, I'm looking for a delay exit when in home mode. The use case is I'm leaving for work but want to leave the system in home mode because there are still people in the house.

    Home means your permimeter sensors are armed. So open a door or window will set off the alarm. You need to disarm before you open anything. Away would mean motion detectors are armed.

      I'd like to be able to do the same as sdngo is looking to do. My wife usually places the alarm into "Home" mode before going to bed. I'm usually the first to leave early in the morning, and I'm hoping there's a way to exit out the door without having to disarm and then having to reach for my phone just to arm it to "Home" again (the current way I do it). I had the nest alarm system before this and they have a "quite open" button on each of their sensors that would allow you to exit without having to completely disarm. The alarm system I had before the nest also had a quick exit button on the keypad that did pretty much the same thing as the "quite open", so I kind of got spoiled and I'm missing this feature so much that I'm thinking of going back to the nest alarm.

      Under Settings go to Modes Then pick which mode you want to set the exit and entry times for. They go from zero seconds to 180 seconds.

      I don't believe an exit delay would work in my case. The alarm is set to "home" mode the night before, so by the time I leave in the morning it's already been set for several hours.
