Is there anyway to program an HAI OmniproII to allow you to arm the security system for AWAY with the garage door open (not secure) and then allow the door to close and become secure? We often leave the house (with the garage already open). Would not want the system to allow this for NIGHT.
Garage Door Open for setting AWAY

I do this with a timer flag
I give us 10 minutes to leave the garage.
The rest of the house is armed after the normal exit delay.
WHEN Arming Away
THEN Bypass Garage Door
THEN Garage Exit Timer ON for 10 minutes
WHEN Garage Exit Timer OFF
WHEN Garage Door SECURE
THEN Restore Garage Door
The last part restores the garage door as soon as it closes or at the end of the time limit.
I will add a routine to auto close the door at 10 mintues and restore at 12 mminutes.

I do some alarm garage door automation but noticed a few years back that my wife's logic and the alarm / HA logic didn't coincide. She pulled into the garage while chatting on the cellphone leaving her car running the garage door "automatically" closed. Very very low on the WAF list. I've decided that whatever logic I put in there will be some way to circumvent it which could cause some major issues.
Do you have Auto Bypass set to ON? My system won't even allow me to arm (and execute he program logic) if the garage door is NOT SECURE. Not sure I want to use this. Might set the garage to bypass and then restore after the alarm is set (vs. while arming), but that might mess up NIGHT mode which I don't want somebody to set the alarm if the door is open.....

Right now I do not have auto bypass on.
I have a series of code staements to tailor which zones are bypassed depending on state.
For example, I bypass the second floor Master Bedroom windows in NIGHT mode so I can open them if I need to. (you need a ladder to get to them.)
In OFF I tried to bypass the garage door in anticipation of using the feature above.
It worked but I don't like the constant "Garage Bypassed" message on the console.
So I've resorted to arming the alarm then opening the garage door and leaving.
The garage gets auto bypassed for 10 minutes after arming starts, so the system allows it.
However, this method is becoming a bit cumbersome, so I am going to do some experimentation with auto-bypass on.
I was hesitant to turn it on because I don't want to be able to arm the system and leave a window open somewhere.
I already have a warning routine that checks for open windows when the system is armed and issues constant voice reminders until the window is closed. So this may not be an issue.
