## Overview
For residential customers, the Smart Arming feature automatically arms the customer's system Arm Stay when they go to bed and Disarm it when they wake up. Smart Arming can be activated at a set time or when sensors detect activity. Smart Arming ensures that the system is secure every night while preventing false alarms. Use-Case Example: A family with a regular nighttime routine schedules Smart Arming to arm the panel at 10:00 PM each night. Because they have small children who may wake early and let the dog out, they auto-disarm when activity is detected between 6:00 AM and 9:00 AM.
## Procedure
### To enable Smart Arming using the Alarm.com app
Important: Managing this feature on the Alarm.com app requires app version iOS 4.21.14+ and Android 4.21.12+. For custom schedules for each day of the week, iOS 5.13 and Android 5.10+ Alarm.com app version is required.
1. Log in to the Alarm.com app.
On the Security System card, tap \[Smart Arming\] for Smart Arming. Tap Smart Arming.
1. Tap + to create a Smart Arming schedule, or \[Edit\] on an existing schedule to configure it.
In Select Smart Arming Action, tap to select either Wake Up for disarming or Goodnight for arming stay.
In Name Schedule, enter a name for the schedule.
### In Select Schedule Type, tap either
### Specified Time to run the schedule at a specific time. If this is selected
In Configure Schedule, use the dropdown menus to select the Days and Starting at time for this rule to run.
### Or, if available, Activity Detected to run the schedule based on compatible sensor activity. If this is selected
For the Wake Up schedule, this option is available if the customer has motion sensors in compatible groups to disarm when activity is detected between specific times for selected sensors included in the rule.
Use the dropdown menus to select the Days, Starting at time, Ending at time, and Inactivity Period for this rule to run.
In Select Sensor(s), tap to select the sensors used to detect activity for this rule to activate.
1. Additional considerations:
This schedule only activates when the panel is armed stay.
When Disarm at X:XX even if no activity is detected is selected, the panel disarms at the end of the selected time frame if no motion is detected during the selected time period.
This rule is designed to disarm once during the selected time period. If the panel has disarmed once due to motion, it will not disarm again at the end of the selected time period.
Example: A user sets the Wake Up rule to disarm the panel due to no activity. The Wake Up rule is triggered to disarm the panel. Within the time frame, the user arms the panel remotely or locally. The Wake Up rule will no longer disarm the panel until the following day.
For the Goodnight schedule, this option is available if the customer has motion/contact sensors in compatible groups to arm stay between specific times when no activity has been detected for a specified duration for selected sensors included in the rule.
Use the dropdown menus to select the Days, Starting at time, Ending at time, and Inactivity Period for this rule to run.
In Select Sensor(s), tap to select the sensors used to detect activity for this rule to activate.
1. Additional considerations:
This rule can arm the panel multiple times in the selected time period.
Example: A user sets the Goodnight rule to arm stay after 30 minutes of inactivity. During the time frame, the Goodnight rule triggers to arm stay the panel and the user disarms the panel remotely or locally. Once the inactivity time period is reached again, the rule will trigger the panel to arm stay again.
1. Tap Save.
