Hello there !
Some of the below items have been requested and probably being worked on. I am a new user and wanted to amplify the need for these features as well as add one or two possible new ones.
- Home and Away icons on keypad are not easily recognizable. Either color code it or label it clearly. Right now, I have stickers that say which is which.
- Add a custom mode option to use where sensors are configured differently (trip vs don’t trip etc) that are different from home and away. Technically today’s implementation of home and away are not that different, since all that is different is which sensors trip and which do not. But a 3rd one is required when someone wants a mix of both for specific needs such as arming some motions at night to trip.
- Allow a ‘no delay’ feature that can be set on any mode. A no-delay should trip immediately irregardless of sensor placement (main door or secondary door or window). The use case would be when someone wants to arm the alarm on ‘Home’ , but with no delay. Allows moving about , but immediately trips if an intrusion occurred no matter the door type.
- Allow adding 2 more contacts in monitoring settings (for professional monitoring). With the ability to re-arrange in order of preference. So, Ring would still only call up to 3 contacts in order of preference, but user can swap contacts, should they be traveling or not available , instead of having to erase / edit
- Have a ‘bypass sensor(s)’ pre-select checkbox feature that can be custom set prior to arming. This will allow for 2 or more sensors to be bypassed when needed.
- Perhaps introduce a zwave small LED panel (accessory) that connects to the base station and provides a text status of what is going on (armed, home, sensor status etc). Can be mounted anywhere / kept near when sleeping.
- Ability to turn Chime on/off , including audible on/off., so blaring messaging can be limited or avoided when arming, disarming or other.
Thank you and Happy New Year !
