I am new to Homey pro 2023 but a lot of years with fibaro HC3. I’m considering switching to Homey and moving my 100 units. Homey works further ahead on more protocols, zigbee, wifi, matter and I can get rid of Hue HUB, Aqara HUB… But I’m surprised you can’t hide devices or put passecode on a flow. I have a tablet in the house for control and here it will then be possible for a thief to turn off the alarm by clicking on flow. Is that really your experience too? ---

Protect your tablet with a code, then your problem is solved. Furthermore, I don’t think that a burglar will go to your tablet and look for a flow to switch off the burglar alarm system. And if you have chosen a good type of monitoring (perimeter monitoring) then the alarm will go off when the burglar is still outside the door/window. If you have room monitoring, then I would change this anyway… ---

> First of all, welcome to the Homey Community! > > To make sure you are aware of the forum rules, please read the _ **Welcome to the forum!** _ post [here](https://community.homey.app/t/welcome-to-the-forum/31). Hi Michael, Both features, to hide devices and the alarm system with PIN code, are Fibaro HC build-in features. Unfortunately, it is currently not possible to hide devices, but this is a frequently requested function. Contact Athom support and submit a feature request. The more users make a request, the greater is the chance that it will be added at some point, if technically possible. As @Dijker already mentioned, Homey, and also the Fibaro HC3, are no real alarm systems. But you can use the [Heimdall](https://homey.app/en-de/app/com.uc.heimdall/Heimdall/) App in combination with the [Ring Alarm Keypad 2nd Gen](https://eu.ring.com/products/alarm-security-keypad-gen-2) ([Ring Security](https://homey.app/en-de/app/com.ring.security/Ring-Security/) App is needed). The Ring Alarm Keypad 2nd Gen is a Z-Wave device and the Alarm Base Station isn’t needed.
