Can Safety Monitor be set to arm even if a contact is reporting "open"? This is perhaps the only feature that I miss from the old SmartThings. This was handy if I was leaving and a contact dropped offline in the open position. Now I have to choose to either leave without setting the alarm or stop …

Like a switch in HSM to auto bypass open doors or windows ? Ya I have the same thoughts but never got around to saying anything about it.

Yes, unless you have it programmed not to. There is an option in HSM called arming alerts: [image] If you have that defined, the system will not arm when a contact sensor is open. If you want the system to arm with a contact sensor open, don't define an arming alert.

That is a way around it but it would still be nice to know which contacts have been left open.

I tried it and that works but I feel uncomfortable leaving the house not being sure if all the doors are properly closed. There needs to be a re-write to notify if any contacts are open but still arms the system. Some of my inside doors are less critical and I might choose to leave on a short err…

I have a button in the garage by the light switch that arms the system for "away" and sometimes I use Dashboard from my iPhone to arm "away". So I could create an "arming" sequence through Rule Machine to do this?

You can from the button. But to do that from a dashboard, you would have to use a virtual button and not the HSM tile. Your rule could look something like this: Trigger: Button Pressed Action: IF Contacts Closed THEN Arm Away HSM ELSE Send Notification END-IF

Thanks for that. So this will arm the alarm even if a contact is open but then alert me which one is open so I can decide if it a critical one and whether I need to go back and deal with it or just go on about my way and deal with the problem later.

No...I didn't think that is what you wanted.....In that case you rule is much easier. Remove the arming failure from HSM and put in the following: Trigger: HSM changes to Delayed Arming Away Action: IF list of contact sensors is open THEN Send notification. END-IF
