Night Stay On Qolsys IQ Panel 2 Plus

In this video, Michael from Alarm Grid explains how there is no Night Stay option on the Qolsys IQ Panel 2 Plus. But there is a good alternative to achieving very similar functionality. Night Stay refers to an arming mode found on most Honeywell and Resideo Alarm Systems. When you Night Stay, you are basically Arming Stay, but with one big difference. This difference is that all motion detection sensors that have been enabled for Arm Night will remain active in Night Stay, instead of being automatically bypassed like they normally would when you Arm Stay.

You might use the Arm Night feature for motion sensors that are not normally activated when you Arm Stay at night. For example, if you have a motion sensor in the basement, and you don't normally go down to the basement at night, then you might enable the Arm Night feature for the motion detector down there. That way, an alarm would occur if the basement motion sensor was activated, but you will still be able to move around the rest of the building freely, without having to worry about other interior motion sensors triggering an alarm.

But the Qolsys IQ Panel 2 Plus does not have the ability to set interior motion sensors for Arm Night. Luckily, there is a good workaround. You can set Sensor Group 15 or Sensor Group 35 for any sensor that you would usually use with Arm Night. These Sensor Groups will tell the motion sensors to remain active in both Arm Stay and Arm Away. This should not be confused with Sensor Group 17 and Sensor Group 20, which tell the motions to be active when Arming Away, but also to be automatically bypassed when the system is Armed Stay. Therefore, all motions assigned 15 and 35 are your "Arm Night" motions, and Arming Stay is your equivalent to Arming Night. Meanwhile, motions assigned 17 or 20 are your "non-Arm Night" motions, and they will only be active when you Arm Away, as Arming Stay will cause them to be bypassed.
