Feature Request: Temporarily Bypass One Zone While System Remains Armed

[jwcsurety (Jason)]

This is a great suggestion, I am happy to forward it to the manufacturer.

One potential work-around, if you use the same door each time, is to set up multiple partitions.

If you enable partitions on the panel you could set that door sensor as its own partition and only disarm that one partition when going out, then rearm when coming in. The rest of the system, on a different partition, would remain armed no matter how long you are outside.

We have a guide on how to set up partitions below:

How to Set Up Partitions on a Qolsys IQ Panel

Partitions let you split one IQ Panel 5 into up to 4 separate security areas that can be armed and disarmed independently. This guide covers what partitions are, how to turn them on, and how to assign sensors, users, and devices to each one. What Are Partitions Used For? A partition is a group of sensors that arms and disarms on its own, without affecting the rest of the system. Common examples: A detached garage or workshop A guest house, in-law suite, or rental unit A home office or storage…

Let me know if you try partitions and if that works out for your use case!
