Unknown. "Ghost" Automation Disarms system daily
Hello,
I have some unknown "ghost" automation/rule that automatically disarms my alarm every day at a specific window of time in the evening. Meaning the alarm will automatically disarm everyday on its own. I don't have any automations or rules scheduled to disarm the system. This is very concerning, and defeats the purpose of having an alarm. We were on vacation a few weeks ago and the alarm kept on disarming itself automatically every day at the same time. The app says it was "Disarmed via an automation", even though I do not have any rules to do this
As a temporary fix, I created a rule to get an SMS whenever the system disarms. So whenever i would get a text, I would manually arm it remotely via the app. This is very frustrating that I have to do every time the system disarms automatically I've raised this with support via the Xfinity Assistant Chat App multiple times, but they can't seem to find a solution. We've basically tried every troubleshooting option (rebooting touchscreen, logging in/out of app, deleting all rules, crate new ones, etc.) but nothing seems to work.
I am just about ready to switch to another provider but found a similar issue someone else posted on the forum hoping there is a solution to fix it. Here's an example when the system disarmed at 7:53 pm, then I armed remotely via the app at 8:01 pm. Please advise if there is a way to fix this, or if i just need to just cancel and look for another provider.
