Qolsys IQ Panel 2 – Auto Stay Feature

Overview

The Auto Stay feature helps prevent false alarms. If a system is armed locally and no one exits through an entry/exit sensor during the exit delay, the panel automatically switches from Away to Stay mode.

Note: Auto Stay only applies to arming locally at the panel. It does not affect arming from an app or keyfob.
