Note: If the system is not arming properly, check if any unbypassed sensors are open. If the system continues to be unable to arm remotely, contact your service provider. 

Arming options 

When arming using the Alarm.com app or GoSafer Security customer portal (powered by Alarm.com), some of the following options may be available for you to select. Options vary depending on your system's configuration.

  • Silent Arming - This allows you to arm the system without any noise. By default, the panel makes exit delay beeps when you arm your system.
  • No Entry Delay - This allows the system to bypass the entry delay once the system is armed. Entry delay is the time set to allow you to walk from an entry/exit zone to the location of your panel to disarm the panel. 
  • Bypass Open Zones - This allows the system to bypass open zones while arming the system. This feature can be used to attempt to force the system to arm regardless of zones that may be open. Zones that are bypassed will not trigger an alarm on the system.

To arm the system using the Alarm.com app:

  1. Log in to the Alarm.com app.
  2. In the Security System card, tap Disarmed.
  3. Select the desired arming options, if applicable. 
  4. Tap either Arm (Stay) to arm the system to stay mode, or Arm (Away) to arm the system to away mode.

To arm the system using the GoSafer Security customer portal (powered by Alarm.com): 

  1. Log in to the GoSafer Security customer portal (powered by Alarm.com).
  2. Click Disarmed in the Security card.
  3. Select the desired arming options, if applicable. 
  4. Click either Stay to arm the system to stay mode, or Away to arm the system to away mode.

To arm the system using Scenes:

Scenes allow you to configure a button on the Alarm.com app and GoSafer Security customer portal (powered by Alarm.com) that triggers multiple actions across multiple devices at once. For more information about Scenes, see How do Scenes work?.

  1. Log in to the Alarm.com app or GoSafer Security customer portal (powered by Alarm.com).
  2. In Scenes, select the Scene you want to run that includes the arming command. 
  3. Confirm that you want to send the command to run that Scene.
