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.

Sorry if this is a topic that has already been covered. I didn't see a search section in the forum...
Thanks in advance for any advice!

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.

Instead of enabling Instant Trigger at the device or system level. Allow Instant Trigger to be enabled at the Home/Away/Off Level. I would love to set Instant Trigger in Home mode when asleep so that I can protect myself and family, and leave Instant Trigger off in Away mode. I do not want to edit this setting EVERY SINGLE TIME I leave the house or disarm before I walk in the door EVERY SINGLE TIME I set the system to Away. This is basic functionality that should have been implemented years ago. SimpliSafe is in jeopardy of losing my business if this feature is not developed soon.
Also, I cannot submit this idea under the Ideas category because Topic is a required field and there are no child topics to select for the Testimonials and Ideas category. This is basic CRM community functionality.

Being able to set instant triggers by mode would be a good first step. Instant trigger if AWAY for certain sensors. (Windows as an example…unless you regularly climb thru your window to get in your house)
