Scheduled arming allows you to customize your system even more by creating a schedule to arm and disarm your system based on a day and time interval. This feature is available to both Original SimpliSafe® and Gen 3 Systems, and customers with Self Monitoring with Camera Recordings and Fast Protect™ (formerly Interactive Monitoring) subscriptions. To access this feature, you will need to be running the latest version of the SimpliSafe mobile app.

To get started with this feature, use the pop-up within the SimpliSafe mobile app when you manually arm or disarm your system, or follow along with the steps below:

1. Open the SimpliSafe® mobile app

2. Navigate to the three-bar menu on the top left corner of the app

3. Select “My System”

1. If you do not see “My System”, you may be using the web app in your browser. Please use the SimpliSafe mobile app to edit or remove any arming schedules

4. Choose “Scheduled Arming” at the bottom of the list

If it’s your first time using this feature, you’ll need to choose “Create Schedule”, then ensure that push notifications are enabled by selecting “Allow Notification.” 

Once that is done, you’ll be able to set up a new schedule. You’ll have the flexibility to set up a schedule to arm your system, another to disarm it, or create two different schedules to accommodate both. 

You can choose which mode you want to enable at what day of the week, and the exact time you want the system to change its armed state.

For example, you can set your system to arm to home mode Monday through Friday at 10pm.

When the scheduled arming state is set to occur, the system will automatically count down and make the change to the arming state. Once it finishes counting down and changes the arming state of your system, you’ll receive a push notification that the system was armed or disarmed if you have Activity Notifications enabled.

Please note that the arming schedule you have in place will override any manual armed setting. For example, if you manually arm your system to Away Mode at 10am, but you have a pre-existing schedule to arm your system to Home Mode at 11am, the arming schedule for Home Mode will still take place.

You can edit or remove your schedules at any time under the “Scheduled Arming” section of the SimpliSafe® mobile app.

1. Navigate to the three-bar menu on the top left corner of the app

2. Choose “My System” from the dropdown menu on the left side of the screen

1. If you do not see “My System”, you may be using the web app in your browser. Please use the SimpliSafe® mobile app to edit or remove any arming schedules

3. Select “Scheduled Arming” from the bottom of the list

4. Tap on the schedule you want to change

5. Tap “Save” to save the schedule or “Remove” to delete it
