Third/Custom Arm Mode
My daughter and family left for a one week well earned vacation and her parents (My wife and I) said yes for their two cats to stay at our house. Her SS3 has entry, glass break and other types of sensors, but no motions. Ours has 9 motion sensors and 3 SA cameras with motions. Subtract the three rooms that is off limits to the cats and we now have six motion sensors and three cameras that I manually changed settings for home and away modes. Whew!
An added mode, "custom" would have allowed me to configure "Cat mode" next time they visit (which is in about six weeks).

Hello,
I see there are Off, Home, and Away modes available. I would like to request the ability to create additional custom modes and specify the settings for each sensor in every defined security mode.
Scenario: Imagine a multi-story home with motion sensors on every floor. At night, I don't want to enable Home mode, where all motion sensors are turned off. Instead, I want to create two custom modes: "First Floor Arm mode" and "Second Floor Arm mode." In "First Floor Arm mode," the motion sensor on the first floor is enabled while the motion sensor on the second floor is disabled. In "Second Floor Arm mode," the motion sensor on the second floor is enabled while the motion sensor on the first floor is disabled.
Depending on which floor we are on at night, we can activate the corresponding mode. For example, if we sleep on the first floor, we would activate "Second Floor Arm mode" because only the motion sensor on the second floor needs to be enabled, not the one on the first floor.

The 3 modes of off, home, and away are too limiting. I'd love to see more modes even if they're not available on the key pad.
My wife and I have very different patterns. She never goes to the basement and would like that alarmed especially since it's a walk in basement.
In contrast I spend most my time in the basement, either sleeping down there when I'm doing shift work, or working in the shop/garage. I'd like the keep the upstairs alarmed and the basement off. Anyone upstairs would be an intruder.
There is no way to do this with the current system.
