Smart Arming

What is Smart Arming?

How Smart Arming Works

When configured, Smart Arming will always Arm Stay your system and will not activate if the system is already in Arm Away.

When configuring auto-disarming, you can only choose motion sensors to trigger disarm. This ensures the movement is coming from inside the home and not an intruder.

Smart Arming can be configured using scheduled times, activity detection, or a combination of both. You can also select which days of the week each Smart Arming schedule should run, giving you more control over how your system fits into your daily routine.
