Home alarm keypad

Will we ever see a a keypad to disarm/ alarm Aqara security system? I feel this is a massive missed opportunity here as I see so many people turn down the Aqara system just for this reason. I even fitted a different branded system because the lack of keypad and wireless key fobs.

I think you can provide some pictures or videos of competitors, which can more intuitively tell everyone its value.


Here is just a few I have installed. I find it so much more secure that having a button added to a automation that anyone can press

Looks good!This device allows users to enter a passcode and then select either the HOME or AWAY arming mode, or disarm the system. It enables quick and convenient operation, and using a passcode helps ensure secure identity verification.
So, based on what you know, is this how such devices are typically used? Are there any other features you think are essential?

Yes I think this provides security having a pin to disarm the security system when entering and is typically how it is used . I have seen some keypads have a motion sensor to light up the keys when in the dark but I feel as a keypad would mostly be placed near the entrance having the motion sensor on the keypad as an additional motion sensor for the security system would be a benefit.

Voici la traduction en anglais :

I also think this is a real shortcoming in the range.
It could also have a passcode system on the panel — that would be a nice to have.
Since Aqara doesn’t offer this, I’ll have to turn to other systems, which puts the whole setup I currently have with the sensors and detectors into question.
