Safely Disarm from HLC Button

[broconne]

I am trying to create a "Morning" button on one of my HLC scene controllers that will disarm the system when pressed under a certain set of criteria. That criteria is that the system is armed in night mode and that no one has open a door or otherwise caused an alarm, that this button would then disarm the alarm. The use case is that I have guests staying with us for the holidays and I want them to be able to disarm the system when they wake up.

Here is the automation rules I wrote, do these look valid for my use? I realize tying a disarm command to any sort of button is a security risk, but hopefully the risk here is minimal as its inside the home already.

89. WHEN Morning Button
  AND IF NIGHT
  AND IF NOT NIGHT DELAY
  AND IF AREA 1 BURGLARY ALARM NOT ACTIVATED
   THEN PROGRAM DISARM

That block looks OK for what you want to do.

You don't need the "NIGHT DELAY" line.
The mode check for NIGHT already includes NIGHT DELAY, you only need to check for NIGHT DELAYif that is the specific condition you are looking for.
Same with DAY/DAY INSTANT.

Hi Desert -
I am actually excluding Night Delay in the code above. My thought was that if it was in night delay, someone could open the door and then press the "Morning Button" before the alarm went off and disarm the system.

Sorry, RIF.

As soon as someone opens the door in Night Delay the beepers start beeping, just like in Away.
But yes, if they came in and pressed the button before the delay was up it would cancel the alarm.
