Standby timeout?

[Fitchman]

I was wondering if there is any option for having your system return to armed when you have it in standby for a certain period of time?  Example: working in the yard so set mode to standby.  Forget to re arm and don’t have the security I want.  I thought we used to be able to disable for a period of time and the system would automatically re arm after that timed out

No.  You could pause notifications, but the cameras were still armed and recording.  You can still pause them in the new interface.

You could also create a schedule automation that changes the mode to Armed Home or Armed away every night.  Then the system would rearm if you forget to take it out of standby.

The new interface doesn't support that. Yet. Hopefully.
