Arm away acting weird #12

Closed ifeign closed 1 year ago

ifeign commented 1 year ago

Arming away has been acting up, when I arm via HomeKit, it says arming for about a minute and then ultimately sets the system to Home. Unfortunately I'm traveling and don't have remote access to logs (I need to get reverse proxy working again soon).

Hi, I think you may have the "Auto Stay" feature enabled on your panel in section "SECURITY AND ARMING":

"If panel is armed Away but a delay door is not opened, the panel assumes you are still home and changes arming to Stay Home"

Either disable this option or set Exit Delay to 0 sec.

Let me know if that was the case.

You might be on to something with this. I could swear I disabled this previously but it's possible the setting was reset when I did a firmware update recently. I'll have to check when I return from my trip

For the second part of you question: While the panel is in Exit Delay:

HomeKit Current State = DISARM HomeKit Target State = ARM

This is why "Arming ..." is running a the top of the Homekit acccessory for the duration of the Exit Delay period.

At the end of the Exit Delay period, when the panel is armed:

HomeKit Current State = ARM HomeKit Target State = ARM

Then you get all the HomeKit notifications confirming that the Panel is armed.

An alternative method would be to set Homekit Current State to ARM during the Exit Delay period and you would get an immediate Homekit Notification.

If the panels fails to arm, you get and HomeKit notification when the panel gets back in a Disarmed state.

This could be set through a config option if people are interested (Partition Early Arm ?)

Turns out auto stay was on. Changing that and setting exit delay to 0 (which is how my old hass plugin was configured) has put things back the way I like them. Thanks again!

Glad to see it was only a small configuration error!
