My IQ panel is automatically bypassing any door or window left open. This is of concern to me, because I may have a door or window open in the basement that I have forgotten about, and it will bypass it without me being aware it is open! Shouldn't there be some kind of warning that a door is open if you have not manually bypassed it on the panel?
That is a great question. You are correct in saying the iQ panel does
not protest before a sensor is armed. There are a few things that can
be done to resolve the situation. The first thing is to look at the
banner at the top of the screen. If there is a sensor that is open, it
will be yellow, and the system will say not ready to arm. The second
thing would be to check the sensor list on the right side of the
arming screen. If any of the sensors are open, they will have a check
mark next to the sensor. If these two things are looked at, there
won't be any problems. Another thing that can be done if you have
access to Alarm.com is notifications can be setup to send you either
an email, or a text message if any sensor is bypassed. I hope this helps. Please let me know if there is anything else we can do for you. Have a great day!
