Option to keep Keypad lit at all times
The KeyPad displays "Off", "Home", or "Away" only when it is touched or a key is pressed. I find that not User-Friendly. It will be extremely Helpful if the status is displayed ALL the time. To save battery/power the display BRIGHTNESS should be programmed to do down to 50% or so after about 30-seconds after the Status is changed. Dear friends, what do YOU think about the KeyPad display?

Hi cbnhdtv,
Yes, as Captain11 suggests, the proximity sensor for the Keypad is the compromise that we had to make. LEDs use a lot of power, so even having them at lower intensity is still a huge drain. The expected battery life of 8-12 months is already pretty short, and we wanted to do everything that we can to extend it!

Agreed! We moved from ADT to SimpliSafe & 1 of the things we miss the most is being able to glance to the keypad & determine whether or not it's armed. It wouldn't be necessary to light up the keypad entirely...a simple tiny red (armed) or green (unarmed) light would suffice.
