In rare occurrences, you may receive an error reporting “Unexpected Error” from within the SimpliSafe® Mobile App. This error typically occurs when the Base Station loses its connection to Wi-Fi. You’ll need to reconnect the Base Station to your home network to resolve this issue, and, in some instances, you may need to reset your Base Station.

To reconnect your Base Station to Wi-Fi, use these steps:

1. Open the SimpliSafe® Mobile App on your phone or tablet

2. Choose My System from the bottom navigation bar

3. Select Base Station Settings

4. Tap on ‘WiFi Network’

1. You may see your network listed here, continue with the steps below to reconnect

5. Select ‘Yes, Connect’

6. Enter the password for your Wi-Fi network

7. Click ‘Connect’ once finished

8. Your app will state “Yay! Your Base Station is connected” if the credentials are correct.

9. Tap Done to exit the Wi-Fi setup mode
