Geofence

For those of us not on a regular schedule an alert when we leave home, and the alarm is not armed, would be very beneficial

Hi @mickybolyard welcome to the community!

I can certainly share your interest in geofencing alarm reminders with our dev team. In the meantime, you can set up Arming Reminders on a time-based schedule through the SimpliSafe app. Simply navigate to the three-bar menu in the top left corner of the app, then choose My System > Arming Reminders.

scheduling is “nice” but pretty basic.  There are two of us in our household and neither of us are on a predictable schedule. It would be much more functional if the alarm would set when the last one left house and disarm when the first person got home.

@wshadow34606​ Geofencing is currently not a supported feature of the SimpliSafe system, but we have forwarded this feature request to our devs for their consideration. If/when this feature is taken into development, we will post an official update in the Arm/Disarm via Geolocation thread.

I realize that can be done on a schedule but for those of us that don’t leave our houses on a set schedule this feature doesn’t work. 

thanks for forwarding to the development team

100% want this feature. The automatic arming is somewhat nice, but the Geofence reminder is a WAY more useful feature.

I 100% agree! And I too want this feature.

We are considering switching to SimpliSafe, which is a better deal than our current system. But the lack of geofencing may be a deal-killer, especially for my wife. Hoping you add it soon. 

Thanks

I agree 100% if I already didn't have my system I would not have purchased, Geofencing has been around for years so why are they so behind modern technology

I'm not big on this geofencing thing as for me it's as simple as going on my app and hit off home or away which me my wife and my kids do all day so this feature not one of my yyaayyy let's get it done.

I assumed Simplisafe supported geofenced arming as my previous system had had it for the last 5 years. Frankly - I'm really disappointed it is not supported - it feels archaic having to manually arm the alarm every time I leave...I wish I'd done more research before I purchased Simplisafe.

Please support this feature asap.

At the very least a geofence arming reminder option would be fantastic. My last system had it. And auto arming based on geofence doesn't help for when we have house/cat sitters or family staying and we step out for a bit.

@mcdermottkerry​ I use DIY geofencing reminders on my phone.
