Sensor - Instant Trigger or Not

All of my sensors are set to instant including doors.  We use the phone app for access so there is no need for a count down.  If you plan to use an indoor keypad to disarm you will need a delay on whatever door you normally come in through.  Everything else I would suggest instant trigger.

@ride525 I'm with DP on this one.  My 10 motions, 2 glass breaks and 6 of my 7 entries are on instant trigger. Only 1 entry, the kitchen door we always use to enter, is not.  Even that one is on 0 entry delay for home mode, only 20 seconds for away mode. Works well.

Good thoughts.

We allow others to enter, (cleaning ladies), so maybe just one door.

I was thinking of me also, when I get up and maybe forget to turn from HOME to OFF when I get up in the morning, and go out to get the paper.  Perhaps I can train myself.  (what is they say about teaching old dogs new tricks?)

The first time you open a door from the inside and the alarm starts blaring because you forgot to disarm the system first will train you pretty quickly.  :)

Or consider an extra keypad in your bedroom, so you will be reminded to turn off the alarm before you wander around and open the door to get the paper :)

I too have all my sensors (windows and doors) set to instant-trigger.
