Scenes and Entry Delay via the Alarm.com App

Hi – Yes. I have asked about this before but the response was not sufficient. When we set the alarm via the “Security System” section of the Alarm.com Android App there is a checkbox for “No Entry Delay” but we have found that this box is not used when you use the “Scenes” shortcuts to arm/disarm the alarm. Can you test and confirm that you experience the same behavior on your system(s)? It seems like the “Scenes” functionality is missing the ability to allow for delays when arming the system.

Thank you

There is not a No Entry Delay Check box when you are executing the Scene from the app (unlike arming from Security System in the app, which does offer this). When scenes are created, however, there is a checkbox to enable No Entry Delay for that arming state. The scenes are meant to be more convenient and thus provide less steps to execute them from the app.

Additionally, it would appear that one of your Away Scenes has no Entry Delay Enabled and you may wish to edit this scene.

You can edit this via the website:
emPower-> Scenes-> Edit Pencil next to the scene-> Panel – checkbox to enable or disable this function.

OR

Via the App:

Press Scenes-> Arming Scene -> Edit-> Panel State-> Next -> No Entry – Check Box will be under arming states.

Keep in mind you can create one scene with No Entry Delay, and one without. You would just want to name them so you can tell them apart.
