Arm/Disarm z-wave based security system?

So I don’t want a typical security system, but rather get motion detectors, a z-wave alarm, and create a scenario within Vera to set it all off.

My question is, how can I arm/disarm the system with relative ease? Sure, I can use my smartphone and I’m sure that will work – but I want to set up the system so it’s easy for my wife to use as well.

Thanks for any ideas here!

  1. A dedicated Z-Wave wall switch/scene controller used to trigger an arm/bypass scene.

  2. A Z-Wave door lock that triggers the arm/bypass scene when locked or unlocked.

  3. A Z-Wave light switch and PLEG where an overly complex On/Off pattern arms/bypasses the system.

  4. A presence detection scheme, such as smartphone geofencing or NFC tags.

  5. A real alarm system with an alarm panel.
