Sensors use Wi-Fi?

Yeah, that's what I thought too. But the Simplisafe reps are trying to tell me I just need to get a "free" Wi-Fi range extender from my internet provider so my keypad and sensors in my metal shop building 200' away from the base station in my house will work. Starlink just loves handing out free equipment! Maybe Simplisafe should send me a free RF signal extender...

Simplisafe sales person Dan: "Yes, Simplisafe will work in your shop also." Me: "Dan, it's 200' from my house. It's a metal building." Dan: "It's no problem." Well, it's a problem! Going to be returning the equipment tomorrow.

@Simplisafe  possible additional training for this sales associate?

Faraday cage for sure. I asked the sales rep several times about this working so far away in a metal shop building and they assured me each time it would not be an issue. Then when I called in to talk to support, they tried to convince me the sensors will work over Wi-Fi. Not impressed with what Simplisafe has going on here with their sales and support lack of product knowledge. The main reason I got the system was to protect the shop building. 

It's a shame really that most people like me, captain11 and dlpsr and many others on this forum know more than the reps at simplisafe. I guess that's why we have forums and I do love simplisafe but some more hard core training is needed.
