so I’ll say again - that you guys at surety have been so helpful, patient and knowledgable. really appreciate that!

I’m happy to be a new member of the ADC family. not sure if this is interesting or welcome - but I’ll post anyway :slight_smile:

I came from a vivint system, and also have experience with ADT. I wanted to pass along some wish list items. some come from features I used to have (and miss) and some come from things I think would enhance the ADC experience.

I’ll put the request in bold - and then some reasons / examples of why I think they’d be useful underneath.

Wish list / feature requests:

  • multiple date ranges for users

    • Pet / house sitter - multiple visits planned

    • Cleaning people - multiple visits planned

    • would be really nice to be able to go in and enter ranges as I know I need them, rather than having to remember that one range passed / expired, and I have to go in and add another

    • also pet peeve, but when I select a start date - the website / app should automatically populate the end date with the start date, instead of me having to go to end date and then push the calendar forward to the start date

  • Ability to turn recording / notifications / recording on all cameras for a period of time

    • Gardner / Pool maintenance show up - try not to annoy them or neighbors

    • I can certainly do that (and do) manually - but selecting all the recording / notification rules

    • so maybe a “scene” where I could turn them off for a period of time?

  • Ability to use cameras as doorbell chimes

    • Outside in backyard - someone rings doorbell, have it ring on patio camera
  • Reorder items on panel (ie move cameras to second screen, garage to 3rd, etc)

  • Control / configure panel led

    • it’s helpful to me to glance at the panel before I arm, etc to see if there are any sensors open

    • maybe green = unarmed + all sensors closed

    • maybe off = unarmed + some sensors open

  • Ability to arm system when lock is locked via keypad (pressing lock button)

  • Voice alert on panel only for unknown (not known) faces

  • Enable deter / perimeter guard on doorbell only when packages present

    • you guys helped me setup rules to turn on perimeter guard only when the system is armed (which is great) - but even with my system disarmed, it would be great to be able to turn on perimeter guard with packages present
  • Ability to add multiple locks to fire / smoke / co2 trigger

    • you guys made a note in my account that should there be smoke / fire / co2 that emergency services should use a specific door
    • in the even that door was blocked it would be great if the other doors were unlocked too

thanks for listening - and looking forward to continuing to learn more about the system and seeing all the great features that are added moving forward.

Happy to forward requests! These are great suggestions.

Ability to arm system when lock is locked via keypad (pressing lock button)

Do you mean only when the outside lock button is pressed?

regarding the lock via keypad - yes, i’m looking to press the lock button on the keypad, have the system know that i locked it from the keypad, and then also arm the alarm.

i think i heard / read / understood that i can setup the alarm to arm when the lock is locked - but that happens whether i lock it manually, lock it via the app, etc.
