I think I read somewhere that if one of the zones is violated then the ELK cannot be armed. I just want to make sure that is not the case. The reasons are 2 fold.
Scenario 1
Lets say the garage door is open as the entire family is planning to take a trip. The last person sets the "Armed Away" and comes to the car. The garage door is still open and will be closed. I have been playing with the DS10a and will move to GE caddx sensors but don't want to till I ma sure that it is not going to cause any problems (arming if garage door is open).
Scenario 2
I want to setup 2 PIR sensors in the living room for occupany etc. I have the elk keypad 2 feet below one sensor and will show as violated if I want to arm or disarm using the keypad. Arm stay is what I use everynight before going upstairs so hope that will not cause any problems.
If that is the case then what is the workaround. I haven't explored bypass yet but wouldn't that basically leave the zone unsecure?
regards,
