There are five Areas statuses

• Armed (Red)
• Stay Armed (Yellow)
• Sleep Armed (Blue) Selected Panels only
• Countdown (Orange) 
Note:
The different arming states are determined by the alarm panel programming, if you would like to change any of these settings you will need to contact your installer.
