Auto-Bypass when arming understanding

Televisi · August 7, 2021, 12:52pm

Hi,

I have one device that I don't really care whether it is in open/close position, when HSM is armed-away: WC-Contact Sensor:

But, every time HSM changed to armed-away, I get the alert on my phone: "Failed to arm - WC-Contact Sensor"

Did I misinterpret how auto-bypass when arming function?

Thanks

Auto-bypass allows HSM to arm and ignore the fact that the sensor is not secured (closed). The message you are getting is generated by how you have HSM to alert you to arming problems. The following is how I and @bravenel have it setup to alert us to the sensor being bypassed.

You'll find this setting in the sub-menu of the main HSM settings screen:

Using %device% %value% in the message will tell you if the arming bypassed the sensor vs actually failing to allow the system to arm.
