Bypassing a Sensor in Total Connect
In this video, Jarrett demonstrates how to bypass a sensor using Total Connect 2.0. After logging into their Total Connect 2.0 account, the user will see a Sensors option from the main screen. Any sensor programmed with the system will appear on this screen. Each sensor can be individually bypassed.
Bypassing sensors is an extremely common practice when arming a system. If a sensor is faulted, you won't be able to Arm your system. You will need to either restore the sensor or bypass the sensor if you want to arm your system. Sometimes, restoring the sensor can be inconvenient or impossible. In these cases, bypassing the zone instead is an easy option to quickly Arm the system.
Additionally, some users might simply not want a sensor to be active while the rest of their system is armed. For example, there may be a day where the user is a away from their home, but they expect a maintenance person to be coming in and out of their back door. They can bypass the zone associated with their back door, while still keeping the rest of their system armed. No alarm will occur as the maintenance person uses the back entrance, but the system will still go into alarm if the maintenance person snoops around the rest of the house.
A great aspect of bypassing a sensor is that it does not clear any of the settings and configurations for zones. A bypassed sensor will only remain inactive for that current arming session. The next time the system is armed, the previously bypassed sensor will still be active as normal. That way, the entire system will be kept secure. Keep in mind that if you want to bypass a sensor, you must set it individually every single time.
Being able to bypass sensors from Total Connect 2.0 offers great convenience. If a user goes to Arm their system remotely and they find that a zone is faulted, they can simply bypass that zone and arm their system. This can be super convenient if you need to quickly arm your system in a pinch.
