Understanding Stay/Part/Night arming in the Olarm APP

Understanding Stay/Part/Night arming in the Olarm APP

Olarm supports many different alarm panel brands. Each brand uses its own terms for partial arming/setting - the feature that allows you to arm only certain zones while leaving others disarmed or unset

Depending on your alarm system, you may see options such as:

  • Stay

  • Part

  • Night or Sleep

NotesThese modes work differently between alarm brands, but the goal is the same: allow you to stay inside certain areas while keeping others secure.


How Partial Arming Works

  • Arm - All zones are armed.

  • Partial Arm (Stay / Part / Night) - Only selected zones are armed. The choice of zones is set up by your alarm installer.

  • Disarm – No zones are armed.


Examples of when to use Partial Arming

  • At night - Perimeter zones active while you move freely inside.

  • When working in one section - One area armed while another remains disarmed.

  • When people are inside - Internal sensors off but doors and windows armed.


Extra tips

  • Your installer defines which zones are included in each partial arming mode. It is not a feature setup in the Olarm APP for Olarm MAX/PRO/PRO4G devices.

  • You can select available arming modes directly from the Olarm APP.
