    Important If an Arming Schedule crosses midnight (e.g., Arm Away system at 10pm, and Disarm it at 7am), the second arming command takes place on the following day. For example, if you set the schedule to Arm Away at 10pm and Disarm at 7am, Mon-Fri, this means that the schedule will conclude with a Disarm at 7am on Saturday .
  1. Click the Save button when done. Additional schedules can be created as needed.
  2. Arming Schedules currently created will appear on the Arming Schedules page in the Current Schedules section.
    • They can be removed via the Delete button if necessary.

Notes and Restrictions

  • Arming schedules are stored locally at the panel, and not on the website. This means that the system arms, but an arming command does not generate in the Event History.
  • It is not possible to create a schedule that only disarms.
  • It is not possible to schedule the system to switch between Arm Stay and Arm Away (and vice versa).
  • There may be security panel stipulations for bypassing sensors that are needed in order to arm successfully.
  • If a panel offers Stay/Away zones, it affects the way in which a panel is able to arm (i.e., if the panel does not have these options, it reverts to Arm Away even if a rule is set to Arm Stay).
  • Arming schedules can only be created and edited using the Alarm.com Website, not the Alarm.com mobile app.
