![]() Not even my old ADT/GE system had a second pin to “cancel.” But a duress pin would solve that too.Īs I said above, and confirmed in the reply, if the base is smashed after the entry delay starts, at the end of the countdown plus 30 seconds, it will trigger a response when it doesn’t get an all-clear from the base. If it is smashed and can’t send this, it triggers a call/police response anyway when the monitoring center doesn’t get the all-clear event, for this exact reason. And if the base is smashed, the monitoring center already knows it is alarming, or in entry delay mode, and is expecting an all-clear event from the base. Second, the signal is sent to the monitoring company the instant the state changes, so when it enters entry delay from opening a door (or even if it’s set to window/secondary and it trips immediately), the monitoring center knows in less than a second. ![]() If you’re a Protect Plus/Professional Monitoring subscriber, even if the home internet and/or power were cut first, the base has battery and cellular backup. However, a duress pin would eliminate this issue regardless.Īnd no, they’re not susceptible to being smashed. ![]() If someone is forcing you to disarm, they’re going to expect a call if it’s already alarming, so they’ll just make you answer the call too, and would know if you gave the wrong answer or tipped off the agent. I question what difference the delay makes though. I agree that duress codes would be very useful.Īlso longer codes than 4 digits since many compatible smart locks use up to 8 digits, but when paired to the Alarm, only support 4, like the Alarm. ![]()
