I’d like to give grandparents the ability to arm and disarm our system using their phones. But I only want them to have that ability if they are physically at the house. I could easily see them accidentally arming or disarming unintentionally when they are not actually around… Butt dials etc.
Is there any way to achieve this?
Giving app login access to your account for remote disarming gives someone the ability to disarm the system from anywhere. This cannot be limited by the location of the phone.
Some other options would be to provide them with a keyfob while they are staying there which gives them arming and disarming capability but only within RF range of the panel, providing a user code to disarm directly at the panel, or if you have smart door locks you can set up a code for them for the lock and have your lock automatically disarm the alarm system.
