Claim 0:
1. A method implemented by a security sensor device in a premises security system, the security sensor device being configured to communicate with a premises security control device, the method comprising:
performing a biometric authentication of a user;
transitioning, based at least in part on the biometric authentication, the security sensor device to a bypass state;
detecting a sensor trigger when the security sensor device is in the bypass state;
initiating, in response to the sensor trigger being detected when the security sensor device is in the bypass state, a user notification of the sensor trigger;
transmitting a sensor indication to the premises security control device, the sensor indication being configured to cause the premises security control device to perform at least one premises security action;
receiving a status request command;
in response to receiving the status request command, initiating a status indication corresponding to the state of the security sensor device, the initiating of the status indication causing a light emitting diode (LED) of the security sensor device to illuminate;
determining that a user input was received within a predefined time period after receiving the status request command; and
wherein transitioning the security sensor device to the bypass state is further in response to the user input being received within the predefined time period.
