What is Smart Arming?

With Smart Arming, never again forget to arm your system before bed or forget to disarm the system when you wake up. Smart Arming can be triggered to arm or disarm at specific times or when a selected sensor(s) detects activity. Setting up this feature is a smart step to ensure that your system is secure every night, while also helping to prevent false alarms in the morning.

A few of our customers' favorite ways to use Smart Arming include...

  • Setting up the system to Auto-Arm Stay before bedtime so you can sleep with a calm mind

  • Simplifying your morning routine by setting the system to Auto-Disarm when your hallway motion sensor is activated

  • Setting the system to Auto-Arm Stay when no activity is detected after 10 pm based on the sensors of your choosing

  • Preventing false alarms by setting the system to auto-disarm when kids wake up in the morning and activate the motion sensor

When configured, Smart Arming always Arm Stays your system and will not activate if the system is already in Arm Away. When configuring auto-disarming, you can only choose from motion sensors to ensure the movement is coming from inside the house- and not an intruder.
