The Nest Secure has a customizable range from 30 seconds to 5 minutes before the alarm will sound. Once a door or window is opened while in Home and Guarding or Away and Guarding, you’ll receive a heads up on the Nest Guard and the countdown will begin before the alarm goes off.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, I returned this $500 paperweight for that very reason. There are no options to change that "Feature" (as they call it), and after speaking with a senior advisor at Nest Support, he said there are no plans to change that.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.This is directly from the Welcome email: Choose your alarm countdown. Nest Secure gives you from 30 seconds to 5 minutes to arm and disarm before the alarm goes off. Choose how much time you’d like in Settings. I can confirm the settings are 30 sec, 45 sec, 1 min, 3 min, and 5 min. This can be set in the Nest app under Alarm Options in Settings for the Nest Secure.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, that is currently the case. However, Nest is working on an update that would give an option for no delay time.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Hi! That is Incorrect. There's a setting in the app for "When Coming Home" and "When Leaving Home". Both of these settings can be set to the following values: 30 s, 45s, 1m, 3m, 5m. Screenshot below.
