Per-Mode Setting for Instant Trigger
This is a suggestion, and one that seems relatively straightforward to implement.
I think it would be VERY useful to be able to set instant triggers based on certain windows of time. For instance, I would like to be able to set my front door to trigger an instant alarm between the hours of 12AM and 6AM. It's rare that I would open the front door during those hours, so any entry would likely be suspicious. That said, sometimes we forget to disarm the alarm when we get up in the morning before opening the front door, so having 10 second delay before the alarm triggers after 6AM is desirable.
My concern is motivated by the fact that I live in a relatively small, 2 bedroom apartment. A gentle 10 second chime, were somebody to actually break in during the night, is not going to wake us up until the alarm sounds. That is 10 seconds that might be rather valuable depending on the intentions of a potential intruder. That said, I want to avoid as many false alarms as possible ergo the desire to have the 10 second grace period after we are likely awake.
Again, this seems like a relatively easy feature to integrate, and one that would add considerable piece of mind (at least for me).

Generally, it is wise to have all sensors set to instant, except the one on the door you use for entry and exit.
Whether the signal is instant or delayed, once the monitoring service receives the alert, they give you about 30 seconds to cancel a false alarm before calling you to find out if things are ok.

It would be beneficial to setup 'Instant Trigger' differently for home and away. For example, I may not want instant trigger on my garage door and/or windows in Home Mode, but I would want it on in Away mode.
