Per-mode setting for Instant Trigger
Would like to see a set of instant trigger switches next to each mode. This way you can set up instant triggers when you go to sleep, but not set off the alarm everytime you come home from away more.
I know there is a key fob you can purchase to disarm the system before you open the door but this would be a much more elegant solution. The less things you can put on your keychain, the better.
It looks like it would be a matter of modifying the "Intrusion Sensors" table and adding another set of instant trigger options.
Change it from: Device Name > instant trigger = true/false
To something like:
Device name > Home Mode > Instant trigger = true/false
or
Device name > Away Mode > Instant trigger = true/false
See attachment for my thoughts on how to update the front end.

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).

@samm This has been requested before but a customer has never addedt a graphic example on how to actually get this accomplished. First, let me say "nicely done" and appears this would be a great GUI for Simplisafe to copy. If I may, would like to add on to this to allow the arming of sesnors in "Off" mode. Why? I have 3 basement windows that have not been opened in 35 years since the house was built. It would be nice to protect them even with the system off. Even my old 20+ year old ADT system was able to do this. (And of course, I made this suggestion to Simplisafe several times over the past 10 years. :-)

I design dashboards like the Simplisafe one for a living, so when I use other companies designs I always notice ways they could improve.
What we are both suggesting wouldn't be difficult to implement.
