The use of the Simplisafe temperature sensor as a fire heat detector is just WRONG. Simplisafe has previously posted that the temp sensor only updates once an hour. This make it completely useless as a fire heat detector.  They should never be

SimpliSafe needs to make changes to smoke and carbon monoxide detector functions to meet new code requirements. One of these requirements is to have all detectors alarm when one detector detects smoke.  Just found out first alert has a battery operated detector which communicates with all dete

@emily_s​ +1 vote on my part This is prompted by a fire in the equipment bay of a Fire Station in Huntington Park early Wednesday morning. There were no smoke detectors. from a design standpoint, it is the same configuration as a door contact. I do

@aswierz​ I certainly hear you! The request for a heat sensor has been submitted to our dev team for their consideration. Once we receive any news from them, an update will be provided in this thread.
