How to use Your Apple Watch With SimpliSafe®
Updated
The SimpliSafe® App for Apple Watch works as a companion app, meaning it’s a remote control for the SimpliSafe® App on your iPhone. The app is automatically installed when you install the SimpliSafe® App to your iPhone when your phone is paired with an Apple Watch. In order for the app to work on your Apple Watch, your watch does need to be in range (approximately 30 feet) of your phone, as it relies on Bluetooth connectivity. You’ll also need to have the SimpliSafe® App recently opened on the phone. You won’t be able to use the companion app if your watch is on Wi-Fi or Cellular and your phone is not in range.

The SimpliSafe® App for Apple Watch relays notifications from the iPhone and allows you to control basic features and functionality of your SimpliSafe® system at a quick glance.
