Here is my setup:
- Main house as area 1, including the door to the garage.
- Keypad right inside door between garage and house is in Area 1
- Rest of garage as Area 2
- Keypad right inside exterior service door to garage in Area 2
- Overhead garage doors set to force armable
I'm trying to figure out the best arming strategy, and whether the door from the house to the garage should stay in area 1 or move to area 2. When the alarm is armed on Exit mode, I want both areas to be armed. Right now, if I arm area 1, area 2 arms after 1 minute via an automation rule. I have not created a reverse rule, so right now if I arm the garage, the house will not arm.
How are other people handling this? Thoughts?
