Is there a way to have a door that's always armed even when the the system is on standby. Tbh id be fine if even just the siren went off once the door is open. 

 

Id need a way to turn it off and on easy if I ever need to go through the door.

Yes, you just add a rule for the front door sensor to the standby mode.

You can also add a widget to the dashboard for the sensor.  If you go into the settings from there, you'll find there is a toggle to enable detection that you can turn off.  This does take a few steps though.

Also, since you have three modes, you can set up Arm Home to keep the sensor operational, and switch to Standby when you want to disable it.
