Why is my SimpliSafe not connecting to sensors
Remove one battery for at least 10–15 seconds before putting it back in. Put the battery cover back on. Plug the base station in and wait a minute or two for a new connection. Arm your system to test that it works properly.
How do I program my SimpliSafe sensor
If you are adding a single sensor:Open the Menu on your Keypad (using your Master PIN)Select “Devices”Select “Add device” and follow the instructions on the screen.
How do I connect my SimpliSafe to my Base Station
Set up the SimpliSafe keypad
Pull out the battery tab to power on the device. The keypad will automatically start searching for the base station so they can pair up. After the SimpliSafe keypad and base station find one another, you'll be prompted to set up your master PIN.

Why is one of my SimpliSafe sensors offline
If your Entry Sensor is showing as offline on the SimpliSafe Mobile App, this is an indicator that the battery within the device needs to be replaced. The Entry Sensor takes a single (1) CR-2032 Lithium 3V battery and has a life expectancy of up to 5 years depending on placement and usage.
How do I check my SimpliSafe sensor status
Your SimpliSafe system has a built-in Test Mode to let you test all of your sensors. To enter Test Mode: Press MENU button (enter Master PIN if it asks) Press HOME button until you see "Test Mode" on screen.
How do I know if my SimpliSafe motion sensor is working
Motion Sensors: Press the Test Button on the top of the Motion Sensor. For an accurate test, leave the room for the sensor you are testing then wait 15 seconds. Re-enter the room and the Base Station will say “Motion Sensor.”
How far can SimpliSafe sensors communicate with Base Station
about 800ft+
The Sensors have a range of about 800ft+ over open air – that is, if it was outside with nothing in the way. When placed inside a typical building, physical and wireless interference may reduce that range a bit, though you should have no trouble at half distance – about 400ft.
How does SimpliSafe communicate with Central Station
As mentioned previously, the SimpliSafe base station has a radio board connected to it via an FPC cable. The radio board provides Wi-Fi and BLE connectivity to the main base station board via an ESP32 SoC. A cloud connection is required for firmware updates and remote control.
Why is my sensor offline
There are three reasons why a sensor could be offline. The first and most common reason is a low or empty battery of the sensor. The second reason is that the sensor is not connecting to the network and the third is that the sensor is damaged.
Why is my SimpliSafe sensor not responding after battery replacement
If you have replaced the battery and are still encountering the 'Sensor Not Responding' error, it likely is the result of a weak connection to the Base Station. A weak connection to the Base Station can often be caused by something environmental, like brick walls or dense home construction.
How do you check if the sensor is working or not
Read the Ohm or resistance values and compare them to those of the manufacturer. If they don't match, the sensor is defective. If the resistance is infinite, you have an open circuit within the sensor. If the readings are zero Ohms, the sensor is shorted.
How do you check if all sensors are working
Check Sensors And Hardware On Android And iPhoneOpen the dialer on your device and then type *#0*#.Here you can check all the hardware like SCREEN, DISPLAY, RECIEVER, VIBRATION, CAMERA, SENSORS, TOUCH etc.For some options, you may need to interact with the device as guided.
Why is my motion sensor not working
Wipe the sensor with a clean, soft cloth—something that doesn't scratch glass and plastic surfaces. Check and/or change the bulb. If the sensor is clean and clear, but the problem persists, you might examine or change the bulbs in your motion light, since they last a while, but will wear out over time.
How do I extend the range of my SimpliSafe sensor
Boosting Signal Range of SimpliSafe Door/Window SensorsStep 1: Open Up the Sensor Case.Step 2: Drill Wire Hole in the Top of the Case.Step 3: Solder the Electrical Wire to the Internal Antenna.Step 4: Trim the Antenna to One Meter.Step 5: Reattach the Sensor to the Door/Window.Step 6: Check Your Keypad!

Why is my sensor not responding
Clean Dirt and Dust Near the Sensor
If there is dust blocking your proximity sensor, it can prevent it from detecting your face properly. Using a clean cloth or ear swab, gently wipe the top area of your phone where your sensor is located.
How do you reset a motion sensor after replacing the battery
Making sure you know when to change batteries. Before it is too late. After a successful battery. Change is completed it is necessary to perform a sensor reset at your keypad in order to clear the low
How do you reset your sensors
Drive at or above 50 mph to reset the sensor for 10 minutes. This causes your sensor to reset the next time you turn on your car. With the vehicle off, turn the key to the “On” position, but do not start the car. Hold the TPMS reset button until the tire pressure light blinks three times, then release it.
How do you reset a motion sensor
Or they seem less sensitive than usual the good news is a quick reset could have them working properly again in a matter of minutes if your motion sensor light is wired to a wall switch a temperature
How do you get a motion sensor to work
Motion sensor lights are often easy to reset from your breaker panel.Turn off the circuit breaker that controls your motion sensor lights. Leave it off for one minute before flipping it on again.Check your motion sensor lights. For some models, resetting the breaker is all that is needed.
How far can a SimpliSafe sensor be from the Base Station
800ft
SimpliSafe's sensors have a range of 800ft over open air (so if it was placed outside with nothing in the way.) In a home, physical and wireless factors may decrease the range a bit, but your Base Station should have no trouble communicating with sensors about 400 ft away.
Can burglars disable SimpliSafe
According to the expert, an attacker can hide the hacking device (which can be powered by a battery) within 100 feet of the targeted system to record the PIN transmitted when the alarm is disabled. Then, with the simple push of a button on the microcontroller, the alarm can be disarmed at any time.
Does SimpliSafe alert your phone when a door is opened
Answer 1) No, the base station does not announce the entry sensor name when a door or window is opened – it just chimes. Answer 2) Add a second entry sensor to each door you want to monitor and set them to secret alert. Secret alerts function in all modes – off / home / away.
