Apple watch app not working

For weeks now, my Apple watch app has been working fine for arming and disarming my new Gen 3 system, now it stopped working. I get the message "Current location does not have a security system installed". Well, there is one, I can even see it right now, and the Iphone and the web app connect just fine. Any ideas why this suddenly stopped working?

Hi all,

Just to update you on the current status of this issue. Our development team is currently still INVESTIGATING, but we've identified the cause related to how the app functions. We're working on resolution, and we'll keep you updated when we have more info.

Hi drjoe66,

Clearly the app on your watch isn't recognizing the correct info for your account. Have you already tried uninstalling and reinstalling on your Apple Watch? That should clear out any incorrect data saved on the device.

I didn't do anything, but it started working again after a few days. Now it stopped working again. The app was updated yesterday. Now the refresh on the watch doesn't even work. The app works and Is open on the iPhone. Restarted, deleted, reinstalled everything. Still not working. This was never an issue when we had the previous SimpliSafe system and started when we upgraded to the ver 3 system.

I am having this same problem with my new Apple Watch SE. The watch app works as long as the iPhone app is open. When I close the iPhone app and hit refresh on the watch, the app gets stuck in refresh mode. Is there a solution to this problem?

Any updates on this? My watch app also never stops Refreshing. If I first have to open the app on my phone, the watch app is useless. 
BTW, a widget also would be nice. Like on Android phones…

I am having the same problem, it has 3 blue dots moving in a square shape reading refreshing.  How does this get fixed?

Same iwatch issue of non-functional ongoing three dot refresh  making Simplisafe no longer convenient for entering with packages.   Setting down bags to dig out cell phone is risky in Chicago.    Please fix this potentially dangerous problem.
