Do NOT buy a Simplisafe. Support has completely tanked.
I have 2 Simplisafe systems. One of them works perfectly (hence the reason why I purchased the second). I had called support in the past and it was a good experience. Something has definitely changed because support now barely speaks English.
My second system simply does not work. It is not an internet issue - best I can tell is that it’s a configuration issue. For example, I will ONLY receive alerts when it’s armed but never alerts when it’s disarmed. You can see this in the timeline. No test signal is being received by the base station.
I called twice. The first tech was nice, acknowledged the issue and rebooted. It worked for 2 days after that. The second lady I spoke to was very rude. She kept saying that there was “nothing wrong” and that the timeline showed it was working perfectly all along, it was just disconnected from WiFi” (it clearly showed it was connected). It was weird being gaslighted over a tech product.
Each time I have called, they have asked me to physically reboot and I live an hour away (it’s monitoring for my elderly relative). Each call takes approximately 30 min to even reach a tech.
I called and canceled today. Do NOT go through the frustration I experienced.
