Security Spy API - unarm actions for X minsa

I was wondering would be possible to add something to allow; the ability to unarm actions for X mins rather than hours or is that possible already somehow?

I know we can just unarm it and then re-arm using using API but would prefer SS itself re-arm after X mins.

My use-case rather simple, at times I might have a conversation with someone at the front door for like 5 mins, so would rather disable notifications for short periods vs 1 hour.

Also say I unarm for 5 mins, and then make another call to unarm for 5 mins, the timer should reset.

Thanks

    Thanks for the suggestion. At the moment the minimum time for a temporary override is 1 hour. I can't promise that we'll change this, but we will consider adding shorter override times in a future update. The rationale for the lack of this at the moment is that such a short period of time, while it will generate a few notifications, won't generate too many to be very annoying. This feature is more useful for longer periods of time when there is some motion that you don't want to be notified of (e.g. when you have a workman in a particular area for a couple of hours).

    What you could do is to specify a longer reset time for Actions for this camera (as set under Settings > Cameras > Actions). For example, try 2 minutes. This way, if you have a 5-minute conversation at the door, you'll only get two notifications during this time.
