What the Force Arm Prompt does in the Olarm APP

Force Arm allows you to arm your alarm system even when some zones - like doors, windows, or motion detectors - are open or active. This ensures your property stays protected, even if part of the system isn’t ready. Using Force Arm, the system temporarily bypasses those open or active zones during arming.

  • Tap the menu icon (≡) in the top-right corner

  • Toggle the Force Arm Prompt to enable

When arming next, and the system has an active or open zone, the Olarm APP will inform you that you have open or active zones, and check if you would still like to arm the system.
