Reply To: Force Armable exit sets off alarm if opened during exit delay?

[Ira Broussard]

Too bad it’s a doc confusion/error. I think most people would like it to work the way I and the OP read it.

I think I found a way to do what I want with the following rules…

WHENEVER Area 1 IS ARMED AWAY
THEN BYPASS Zn 3

WHENEVER Area 1 EXIT DELAY ENDS
THEN UNBYPASS Zn 3

This works in the several scenarios I tested… garage door never opened, garage door opened and closed during exit delay, and garage door opened during exit delay but not closed until after exit delay ends. I may add a rule to do something if the door is never closed, but I would also have had to do that if force arm had worked the way I read it. Do you see any issues/problems with these rules? There are probably some edge cases I’m missing.
