System Arms with Doors Open
To all users I am not sure you are aware but when you activate your system it will arm itself even with doors and windows still open.
All the app tells you when you activate it that it has armed, not that windows ad doors are still open.
I don't know about you but would you want your system to arm itself with windows and doors still open.
I called SimpliSafe and they says that is how it works even though the 4-6 people I talked to at SimpliSafe all agree with me
that they would not want their system to arm itself if doors and windows are still open.

This is ridiculous. If you wanted to leave a door open, you should have to bypass it. I have left a door open and went to bed. The system you have a setting to let you know its open!!!!!

I agree with everyone here. The keypad should warn you that something is open and then give you the option to continue. The app should then tell you which window or door was left open when it was armed. I'm no longer using the keypad to arm my system.

I just upgraded my system and am pissed.. it used to announce that a door was open so you could check it. Now it just ignores it. Not a good upgrade. I may hope I have everything left from my old system.

I agree with everyone above. I would like a notification on the keypad and app that an entree sensor is open and be prompted to bypass it before being able to arm the system. I had a downstairs door open, armed the system thinking everything was secure, and slept all night without knowing. It was very creepy waking up in the morning. Having the voice prompt on the base station is not enough.

Had I known this, I would not have installed SimpliSafe. I arm it from my bedroom, far from the base station. I could be going to bed or leaving the house and any door or window could be open and unmonitored. Really poor design. I will update my online reviews to reflect this defect.

When you arm it from the control panel it will tell you which entry sensors are open. If you arm it from the app, before you arm, pull down on Home Screen to refresh status and it will tell you how many entry sensors are open

I'm in the process of installing a new system, I recently ditched Xfinity home security and I'm having a little bit of remorse right now. Can you please add a notification in the app to alert when a entry sensor is open when arming? The voice prompt is helpful, if you're in the vicinity.
