Create an arming reminder notification

An arming reminder notification can notify users if the system has not been armed by a certain time.

For more information about how to add users, see Create a new login. For more information about how to associate a cell phone number with a user, see Add a mobile phone number to receive SMS notifications.

Note: It is possible that arming reminders may have a 3-minute delay based on how arming updates are received from the panel.
