NOTE: Starting in late 2022, Smart Arming replaces scheduled arming features by improving it and simultaneously reducing the chances of false alarms. Our commercial subscribers on certain commercial monitoring plans will have a new version of scheduled arming, designed specifically for commercial/business subscribers. The article below applies to the residential smart arming feature.
Important: To manage the Smart Arming rule, the customer login must have Master Control, Full Control, or Custom with Remote Arming selected. For more information about customer permissions, see Manage login permissions for secondary logins.
