Since my Keypad is close to the back door I have the Entry delay set at 30 seconds if I don't turn it off with the App. Plenty of time to enter the code and turn it Off.

For away, exit is 30 and entry is 20. Ditto with Route 66, all sensors are on instant trigger, except for the kitchen door.

- Did not think of doing anything like that because didn't know about that feature -
I guess this is setting is controlled by the keypad, will scope this out in the morning... thanks!
Today was my first day ON actual Simplisafe monitoring, fingers cross no false alarm yet...
My 3 fast days of practice time was spent setting up and golfing, didn't get a chance to hear the alarm sound in practice mode... Wonder if I can call and have them give me another day of practice to check my motion sensors and other devices...
Again, thank you guys for the inputs!

As far as testing, go to your keypad, hit the menu button, enter your code, scroll down to test mode. Your base will send a test signal and monitoring will call with recorded message. Listen to the prompts and get an agent. Ask for your entire system to be put on test for x time. (hour, 2 hours etc). Then arm your system to home and open a door where the entry sensor is set to instant trigger. (Have the keypad, or your phone or key fob ready to turn it off). You can then easily test to your hearts content.
Congrats on your new system and best of luck!

For my SS2 system there is no setting for Home exit delay. Home mode is set the moment you press the button.
In the primary system Home Entry delay set to 10 seconds, then Away Entry and Away Exit both set to the minimum values you can set in ths app. 30 and 45 seconds respectively, I think. But, most sensors are set to instant trigger. At the secondary location all sensors are set to instant trigger. Either I remember to disarm before entry (mostly) or I get an earful from the aux siren and have to quickly deactivate. :)
