Siren ring even though I have entry delay

Question

When I have the alarm on set to home or away and open the door, the siren goes off.  I have a delay for both entry and exit, but the siren still goes off right away as soon as the door is opened.  Am I missing something here?  Sometimes I get home late and don't remember to turn the alarm off before entering so the siren wakes the whole house.  Any help would be much appreciated.

Each contact sensor has a setting as to whether it is an entry door or not.  Yoiu might want to check the setting for that device.  The entry/exist delay settings tell you how much time you have when a entry sensor is triggered.  But if the sensor is not set up that way and is seen as a regular door/window, then the alarm will be immediate.
