Safety Monitor Arming Failure

There needs to be a re-write to notify if any contacts are open but still arms the system.

You're more than welcome to request that from Hubitat (again) but it has been requested by several people, including myself.

[SOLVED] HSM Alert Notifications and Cancellations

Yet to come in this regard is the concept of bypassing a contact sensor that is open -- in a future release. In the meantime, the functions afforded by Arm Failure alerts can be done by Rule Machine when it is desirable to have this functionality of arming with a contact sensor open, but still being notified if other sensors are wrong.

The workaround is to check the contact status when HSM arms itself. Then you would have to cancel HSM arming and disarm it to fix the contact sensor. However, depending on the method you are using to arm HSM there are other possibilities as well.
