Hi @Jmb6379 ,

It sounds like you're talking about the countdown timer, which comes from the Keypad, and happens when the system is armed in both Home and Away modes. At this time, there is no way to disable the countdown timer.

However, you can sort of disable the countdown. In Home Mode, you can set the Countdown timer to just 1 second, so it arms immediately and the countdown chirps won't start at all.

@davey_d​ Davey - this is an issue for me, too. I want to set the alarm to Home without waking people up. If I set the delay to zero, I can’t get out without triggering the alarm. It would be nice to be able to disable the beeping. I would not have a problem with it also disabling it for Away alarm. Thanks

Thanks for your suggestion. What you could do is open the door before you arm the system. Since the alarm only triggers if a sensor switches from Open to Closed, it won't trigger. When you close the door behind you, it'll be ready to trigger then.

 

It does occur to me that the Base Station will announce both "Alarm On - Home" as well as "Entry Sensor Open". But at least the Base Station's voice prompts volume can be adjusted in the settings (or turned off entirely). The Keypad's beeps cannot.

Agree it is annoying beep when set to home. Changing delay exit time is not an acceptable solution.

I agree with this AND we should be able to shut off the countdown timer completely.  I can’t fully use my system because if I want to use the motion sensor it has to be in Away mode.  The beeping sends my dog into a meltdown.  I could silence it with my ADP system with no issue.  I don’t understand how something so “simple” isn’t available in this system. You add in either their inability or their decision not to integrate Homekit for a large number of subscribers and that’s another checkmark in the “cons” column…
