Alarm.com App Features with Qolsys IQ Panel 2
Some Alarm.com mobile app features may be available or unavailable due to panel limitations and app version. Use this page to understand how key arming features behave when your system uses a Qolsys IQ Panel 2.
App Feature Matrix (IQ Panel 2)
Panel | Silent Arming | No Entry Delay | Remotely Bypass Sensors |
---|---|---|---|
Qolsys IQ Panel 2 | Depends on panel/app support | Depends on panel/app support | Yes (Auto-bypass when arming remotely) |
Remote Arming Timing (Exit Delay)
Default behavior: When arming the Qolsys IQ Panel 2 remotely from the Alarm.com app, the system does not apply an exit delay.
Important (Scenes enabled on FW 2.4.0+): If Scenes are supported and enabled on an IQ Panel 2 running firmware 2.4.0+, remote Stay or Away arming uses the panel’s normal exit delay.
Auto-Bypass Behavior
When arming from the app, any open or tampered sensors are automatically bypassed so the arming command succeeds. This is independent of the panel’s local Auto Bypass toggle.
- Local (at-panel) behavior can differ.
Tips & Compatibility Notes
- Ensure panel firmware is current for the best feature compatibility. (See Panel Programming.)
- Keep the panel online via Wi-Fi + cellular for reliable remote commands. (Connect to Wi-Fi)
