Could it be possible that you were getting Smart Alerts for a different system? Of course, each Smart Alert should also include which address it's for, so it would be fairly easy to tell. The same notification should tell you exactly which Keypad was used to arm as well, which can offer another clue about what happened.
But as for the false alarm form the Smoke Detector; the unit works by detecting particles entering the chamber. So it's looking out for smoke particles, of course, but can also be triggered by too much dust, steam, or maybe even bugs crawling in. We do suggest that every few months, you clean around the Smoke Detector's grill using a vacuum cleaner, just to keep it clear of debris.
Sure you don't have Simplisafe 3? You say you have "2.0", but then say "New Firmware was downloaded last week." There are no firmware updates for SS2. The firmware in the SS2 system cannot be updated.
Yes I meant 3.0, I didn't realize we started with 2.0.
I am sure the alarms came from that house the address is listed. I will check the smoke alarm and vacuum it but getting that and then the errant system armed message, like someone pushed the keypad so close to each other when no one was home and doors locked makes me more suspicious, after several years of no weird behavior....
