Smart Alarm is a multi-zone virtual alarm panel for the SmartThings home automation system.

• Up to 16 independent security zones
• Unlimited number of sensors (contact, motion, fire, moisture) per zone
• Two arming modes - Away and Stay
• Optional entry and exit delays
• Zones can be designated as Interior (armed in Away mode only) Exterior (armed in both Away and Stay modes) and Alert (always armed)
• Zone bypass allows quickly exclude select zones
• Setting of an alarm can activate sirens, turn on switches, send push notifications and text messages
• Silent mode disables sirens and switches, but leaves push notifications and text messages on
• Panic button

Smart Alarm is armed and disarmed simply by setting SmartThings location 'mode'. For example, you can set it up to arm in Away mode when the location mode is set to 'Away' and to arm in Stay mode when the location mode is set to 'Night'. Setting location to any other mode, for example 'Home', will automatically disarm Smart Alarm.

This allows arming and disarming SmartAlarm using 'Hello Home' actions. For example, 'Good Night!' action activates the 'Night' mode, thus automatically arming Smart Alarm in Stay mode. Location modes can aslo be changed based on presence or other criteria, giving you many different ways to arm and disarm Smart Alarm.
