Multiple keypads

Hi. Have a Gen 3 system. The keypad is by the front door, we have a remote that we use from the car, and a panic button in the bedroom. Thinking of adding a keypad in the bedroom for nighttime arming ease. Can gen 3 have 2 keypads and if you do where have you located the keypads. Thank you

@kevcronin yes, the Gen 3 system can have multiple Keypads. We have heard of users putting them in their bedroom, by a side door, or in the living room, among other places.

@kevcronin We have two keypads, one in our master bedroom near the door on the 2nd floor, and one in the kitchen near the door that goes into the garage. Works well. And while on keypads, all doors are on instant trigger, except the kitchen door, and the settings for exit and entry delay for home mode is 0, providing the same effect as instant trigger to the kitchen door. For Away mode, the exit and entry times are at the system minimum, 45 sec and 39 sec respectively.

Interesting approach. I've been thinking how to be "home" but distinct daytime and bedtime setup e.g bedtime all outside doors and windows alarmed; daytime the doors not alarmed so I dont set it off going out w/ trash for the mail etc

@kevcronin​ SS3 is very flexible in configuration. I know dozens of people with SS3 systems and you will be surprised at the different approaches that are taken.  Layers of protection is another approach where I have entry sensors on some windows, all doors, and motion sensors in almost every room on two floors, glass breaks and what some coin as "deadman" traps ie entry sensors on closet doors, desk drawers etc.  I have those on "secret alert" in off mode and armed in home and away modes. Also have entry sensors on our two garage doors.
