Setting Meaning
Exit time Time allowed to leave after arming

Siren time How long a burglary alarm sounds

The interface enforces valid ranges. Avoid shortening a delay simply to make a demonstration faster. Instant arming removes entry delay regardless of the normal entry-time setting.

  • Auto-stay: keypad Away can become Stay when nobody leaves through an entry/exit door.
  • Exit beeps: controls Away exit sounds.
  • Arm without a code: permits keypad quick arming; disarming still needs a code.
  • Arm remotely without a code: separate policy for supported remote commands. The Home Assistant integration described here still asks for a user code.
  • Quick exit: permits restarting exit time without a code while in Stay or Night, through supported controls.

Chime needs a code chooses whether the household must authenticate to toggle chime.

Shortest new code sets the minimum for new and changed codes; existing shorter codes keep working. Wrong codes before lockout and Lockout time control repeated failed entry attempts.

Come back armed after a power cut controls restoration of the armed state. Installer code recovery controls the brief recovery window after power-up.

Explain these choices at handover. Disabling recovery can make a lost installer code unrecoverable through the ordinary screen flow.
