Motion Sensor Gen 1 Settings & Customizations

Updated 

Your SimpliSafe Motion Sensor can be customized and tailored to your specific needs. By default, the Motion Sensors will only trigger an alarm when in an Away state. Out of the box, Home, Off and Instant Trigger will be defaulted to off. If you choose to enable Instant Trigger, this will result in the alarm instantly sounding when tripped while the system is armed (with no entry delay). 

Motion Sensors are also capable of utilizing Secret Alerts. To learn more about Secret Alerts, click here.
