Sixty bucks is pretty pricey and almost twice as expensive as all the other Ooma hardware.

I'd consider it if I knew there was an EXIT DELAY which all alarm keypads from other vendors offer. Has anyone gotten one of these keypads yet and if so does it have an exit delay?

Yes I have one.. Just received it. It works well enough. Think its overpriced but I am thankful OOMA finally added the accessory. It works with the exit delay set in the App. So once you press your pin then away it starts the countdown from either 0 seconds to 10 minutes depending on what you have it the default is 30 seconds.

Bought the Ooma keypad and am very pleased, except I can't seem to get the entry delay to work. The exit delay works fine, but the alarm is tripped as soon as I reenter. Would love to hear how to set a 30 second delay for reentry.

I think I've solved my problem with the re-entry delay. I had to start the application on my Android phone, select More -> Sensor Notifications -> [specific door] -> Away (mode) -> Door Opened -> [delay time desired]. The choices are not very granular, but 1 minute seems to be plenty long enough. :)

Next step: re-enable geo-sensing and see if the two features are compatible.
