I have an Elk M1 EZ8 (connected to a HomeSeer automation controller).
My problem is the garage.
I have the following as #2 area in Elk m1 Zone (with no keypad for area #2):
Right now, I have the #1 area (interior home) and our #2 area (garage) as two separate areas. This was due to some early testing that didn't seem to allow bypassing the motion when I opened the Foyer door. I then created a rule to arm the garage whenever the (with some logic to ensure all doors are closed) interior zone.
This allows me to have a rule when I open the garage foyer entry door (a non-alarm door), the #2 area (garage) is disarmed.
The problem is last night, I didn't know on area #2 motion got tripped on the keypad in our bed, assigned to area #1, until the siren went off.
How can I either:
PS - Cars not parked in garage and we use prox readers to open garage door (so I can disarm it)...so we don't open the external door that often. Due to that, we use the garage a lot as an extension of our home and I don't want the alarm to go off if we get a load of laundry done after the alarm arms.

How can I either:
- Make the garage part of the #1 interior zone if bypass is possible while armed
- Have Keypad in area #1 respond to area #2 issues (while remaining in area #1)
