I cannot seem to configure SmartThings Home Monitor (SHM) to allow me a delay upon exit. In SHM options under "Set response", I've set the "Delay time" to one minute. I've set the "Delay before alert" to one minute, which I believe is the siren alert, but not sure as unclear in the app.
I arm the system, open the main door and walk out. One minute later, SHM sends me a text about the door being opened. Two minutes after exit, the siren goes off.
How to I configure SHM to allow a delay upon exit? Thanks in advance.
After more research, I discovered the problem, and fixed it. The actual door sensor was connected to SHM in addition to my virtual sensor. I removed the actual sensor, and problem solved!
Hope this helps someone in the future having the same problem.
Well, back to my original problem. I removed the actual door sensor from SHM, but of course that means if an intruder goes through that door, it will not trigger an alert.
So does anyone have a solution for my problem? Again, I wish to arm the system using my wall-mounted tablet (I replaced an old ADT keypad), then exit through the door and not trigger an alert?
Hi Joe, I guess you solved your issue by now but this is how I did mine.
1 - create a virtual switch on ST (you will use this to arm the alarm)
2 - create a routine with a if condition like
if virtual switch is on for 30 seconds
then set ST Home Monitor to Armed (away)
3 - link you tablet to this virtual switch instead
Hope this helps
