Entry Sensor Offline
Updated
NOTICE: To ensure optimal performance of your sensor, we recommend updating your Base Station firmware to 2.21.4.6. You can manually run an update by using the SimpliSafe® Mobile App and navigating to My System > Base Station Settings > Firmware and tapping on Update Available. If you're experiencing this issue and are already on 2.21.4.6, please follow the troubleshooting steps in this article.
If your Entry Sensor is showing as offline on the SimpliSafe® Mobile App, this could be 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.
To replace the battery, slide the sensor off the bracket towards the pairing button. Then replace the lithium battery and slide the sensor back onto its’ bracket. If your Entry Sensor has a cover over the battery, you’ll need to remove that first. You can refer to our Help Centre article for further instructions.
Please note that the error may take up to 24 hours to clear from the SimpliSafe® Mobile App after taking these steps, as the Base Station needs to check back in with the sensor. If you want to bypass that timeframe, there are two steps you can take to remove the error from the SimpliSafe® App.
First, place your system into Test Mode and test the sensor to reestablish a connection.
