Stay Out Of The House Keypad Code

[Zoraida]

Tomanage this, I have one of those keypad locks. I change the code between each stay, so each guest has their own code. This also prevents re-entry from former guests. I tend to send the code to my guests, by message, about 24 hours before check in. If I have more than one guest in a week, I will make up the codes ahead of time, and only change it so that it works for the appropriate guest just before their stay.

When you think of setting an alarm system, you may imagine arming all doors, windows, and motion sensors to secure your home when you are away, but did you know we offer a stay mode along with an away mode which protects your house even when you are at home.

Having multiple modes on an alarm system can also protect you and your loved ones when you are at home. Most home security systems, like HomeSecure offer numerous features to ensure you are fully protected whether you are away from home or not.

From what I can see Home Instant arming is achieved by pressing the stay button whilst the exit timer counts down and the system is arming in the stay mode. This would have to be hard coded into HA/Elk Integration, so not something that could be done at an end user level. If you have access to the ELK M1ToGo, or ELKRP software you could achieve this. The M1ToGo software provides you with a virtual keypad, albiet standalone from HA, or with ELKRP you could create a rule within the M1G to arm stay instant.

Regarding the automation only working once the M1G has armed are you using a for qualifier (ie the state has to have changed for a certain length of time)? If so this will create this problem as the M1G will flash briefly to eg Armed Away then changes to Arming before finally changing to Armed Away once it is actually armed away after the exit timer has expired. If not, post your automation.

We have all Schlages also, the "commercial" version, though not sure what makes them commercial. Once in a while we have one that won't release unexplainably...not sure why. You hear the little "click" meaning the lock should be open, but it won't activate yet. Not quite sure what's happening there. But, whatever, they're still great for the price you pay. Around $120 ea, either @ Menards or on-line. Haven't seen them cheaper than that anywhere else yet.

A nice feature is that you can give the code to someone you trust to let themselves in while you're not there. You know, the XXXX tech rep calls while you're @ the Louisville farm show & says, "hey, I'm here @ your farm & we have an update kit to install on your XXXX machine & the door is locked, can you come open it?" No, you just give him the code. If it bothers you, change the code when you get back home....then make sure you can remember the new code. As others have said, the Schlage also comes w/a key for emergency use, like if the battery goes dead.

I have two Schlage locks on my shop and two more on my house. The house ones are Z-Wave compatible and tie into my Z-wave home controller. I can program codes, have then lock or unlock and certain times, check their status with my phone, and even lock or unlock them remotely. I'm considering replacing my shop ones with the same system. I believe Schlage calls the platform Nexia.

You can set your Honeywell Alarm System when you leave the house by activating Arm Away mode on the panel. The process for doing this depends on the type of panel that is being used. You can also set your system to Arm Away using either the Total Connect 2.0 service or a security key fob.

When a system is set to Arm Away, its interior zones will become active. This is because the Arm Away setting assumes that nobody should be inside the property. If an interior zone is faulted while the system is armed away, it can be assumed that someone has broken into the property, and an immediate alarm will occur. Two common sensor types to set as Interior include door and window contacts and motion detecting sensors.

Arm Away should not be confused with Arm Stay. In most cases, Arm Stay is the best arming setting to use if a user is staying inside building, but there should also be nobody coming or going at that time. In this mode, interior sensors will remain inactive. Instead, only entry/exit and perimeter sensors will be active. This way, the user can move freely throughout the building without having to worry about alarms caused by activating contacts or motions. However, an alarm can still occur if someone activates an entry/exit or a perimeter zone.

Some users may find that their system enters Arm Stay mode when they meant to put it in Arm Away mode. This is called Auto-Stay Arming, and it is a common feature found on many alarm systems. With Auto-Stay Arming, if you don't activate an entry/exit zone, then the system will assume that you haven't left the property, and it will revert to Arm Stay. To avoid having this feature activate, a user should simply trigger an entry/exit zone after setting their system to Arm Away. This tells the system that the user has indeed left the property and that the system can be set to Arm Away. The user can also disable Auto-Stay Arming from within Programming mode. For more information on Auto-Stay Arming, please see this helpful FAQ.

Most Honeywell Systems will allow the user to Arm Away using the panel or keypad. However, many users find it easier to do this using Total Connect 2.0 or a security key fob. In order to use TC2, a user must have an appropriate alarm monitoring plan. They can then access the TC2 service from a web browser or an iOS or Android device to set their system to Arm Away. If a key fob is being used, the user must program it with their system. They must then press and hold the appropriate button while within range to set the system to Arm Away. Remember, the key fob must send signals at a frequency that is compatible with the alarm system in order to work.

Assuming that a user is not using a key fob or TC2, then they will need to Arm Away using the panel or a keypad. The exact process for doing this will depend on the type of panel that is being used. Each process will require that the user provides their system's Master Code or a valid user code. Remember, the default Master Code for most Honeywell Alarm Systems is 1234. But keep in mind that most users change this code for security purposes. We have outlined each process below.

1. Arm the system. Arming with the actual panel is standard practice for wireless all-in-one systems, like the Honeywell Lyric Controller and the Lynx Touch Alarm Systems. From the home screen, choose Security. Then choose Arm Away. Then provide your system's Master Code or a valid user code. The system will begin to arm away.

2. Activate entry/exit zone. While the system's exit delay period is counting down, you should activate an entry/exit zone. If you don't do this, the system will assume that you have not left the building, and it will revert to Arm Stay if Auto-Stay Arming is enabled. Most users will program their systems so that the door they use to leave the property is an entry/exit zone. When you open that door to leave, you should activate its contact sensor. The system will then assume that you have left, and Arm Away mode will be active once the exit delay period expires.

3. Disarm the system. When you return, you will need to immediately disarm your system to prevent a false alarm. Go to your panel and provide the Master Code or a valid user code. The system will be disarmed. Remember, you must do this within the system's entry delay period to avoid a false alarm.

1. Arm the system. Most users will use keypads with a hardwired Honeywell VISTA System. The most common keypads to use are the Honeywell 6150 and the Honeywell 6160. Additionally, the Honeywell LYNX Touch Systems can support a wireless push-button keypad called the Honeywell 5828 that is very similar in function to the 6150. However, all of these keypads follow the same arming process.

2. Activate entry/exit zone. Activate an entry/exit zone by leaving the property. Once you have activated an entry/exit zone, the system will assume that you have left the building. This will prevent Auto-Stay Arming from activating. Remember, you must do this within the exit delay period.

3. Disarm the system. When you return, immediately disarm the system to prevent any false alarms. You must do this within the entry delay period to avoid a false alarm. The following commands can be used:

Finally, we will cover the Honeywell L3000 Lynx Plus System and the Honeywell LKP500 Keypad for the Honeywell Lyric. Both of these devices use a similar method for Arming Away. This process is outlined below:
