Claim 8:
9. A security sensor device in a premises security system, the security sensor device being configured to communicate with a premises security control device, the security sensor device comprising processing circuitry configured to:
perform a biometric authentication of a user;
transition, based at least in part on the biometric authentication, the security sensor device to a bypass state;
detect a sensor trigger when the security sensor device is in the bypass state;
initiate, in response to the sensor trigger being detected and when the security sensor device is in the bypass state, a user notification of the sensor trigger;
cause transmission of 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;
receive a status request command;
in response to receiving the status request command, initiate 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;
determine 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.
