Accessing sensors event log

@ s.skrobotov I had to read your post twice to make sure I wasn't missing something (still could be).  Yes, a secret alert will log in the timeline, where "disabled" will not.  That said, if you look in the app or dashboard at the website of sensor listing, it will show the status of all sensors (open, closed or an issue). Additionally, if you arm your system, you will get a message that a sensor is open and will be armed when it is closed.  Pro's/cons have been discussed extensively and a google site search can let you read the threads and posts if you want.

Hi s.skrobotov,

To clarify, the Base Station actively sends only three types of signals to the event log:

1. Actual alarm triggers
   
2. Activity - arms and disarms
   Errors - including failed check-ins, jamming, and battery

In terms of alarm signals for Entry, Motion, and Glassbreak Sensors: only Secret Alerts are available in Off Mode. So if the system is Off (disarmed), the Base Station will send only Secret Alert signals, and not anything else from these sensors.

Separately, our server will request updates on the system's current state - regularly on its on, and whenever you request it from the SimpliSafe app. The "closed" state of Entry Sensors is sent at that time, and not immediately after the sensor is actually closed.
