Home security flaw

[ProBowler]

My security system has been in close to a year and generally works as it is supposed to. That said, I found a major flaw last night that has apparently gone unrecognized since inception.
I left my garage O/H door & side door open to dissapate the heat. I forgot to close it before bed. As usual I armed the system before bed and there was NO indication of an ‘open’. I realized the error this morning.
How and why does the system allow you to arm it while in fault mode? Every high-end system refuses to arm with an ‘open’. However, you can always allows you to manually override, A forced override would have been my reminder to close the doors. If I open the app and scroll thru every device I could see if the item was open or closed, but that shouldn’t be necessary. Is there an audible/visual fix for this?

This has been recognized by HMS users in the past and a solution has been requested. I voted for both. You can follow the links below to the Wishlist topics, vote for them, and then add a post at the bottom of you want.

Home Monitoring- No arming with (selected) open sensors

Hello. I have been using the home monitoring system for a week or so now and have a recommendation. It would be great if there was an option to toggle certain sensors that would not let you arm the system if they are left open. For example, I never want to have my system armed if I forgot to close by back door all the way. [Mod Edit]: Title Modified to Enhance Search Clarity.

Require Confirmation If Arming Security System with open sensor

Using the security system for 2-weeks now and discovered what I believe to be a dangerous flaw. Arming the system “Home” or “Away” lets you arm with open windows or doors. The system states arming and open sensor but then arms the system or goes into the chime countdown. My hub is in the middle of the living room and the keypad is at the front door. When we leave and arm the system, I hear the first few words like “system arming” and then the countdown beeps. Upon testing I found the system…

If you are arming from the keypad, there is no warning or notification of an open sensor. However, if you arm from the app, it will give you a visual indication of a sensor left open:

Hey SlabSlayer,

Thanks for the ‘heads-up’ on this issue. I didn’t want to add a new post but couldn’t find a similar topic with SEARCH. You clarified that there are many.
Two questions - 1. How could I have narrowed my original search for this problem, and.
2. I am unable to locate the topic in Wishlist to add my 2 cents. What am I doing wrong with my searches?
Again, thanks for your reply.

The two wishlist topics are linked already above . All you would need to do is click on the Cyan title and it should take you to that topic. Place your vote at the very top and then go to the bottom to add your post.

If you just want to search the wishlist only, or the roadmap, place “Wishlist” or “#roadmap” in the preamble of the search. This is what that would look like:
