Hi @wleonard3 ,
The Key Fob communicates with your Base Station, kind of like a mini-Keypad. So it does need to be within range of the system in order to function.
For remote arm or disarm, we would recommend connecting your system to the SimpliSafe app, available for iOS and Android devices.

How does one operate the Key Fob at home, to turn the system off. Or is Key Fob, only used when you leave the house? Thanks...

I just upgraded to a Gen3 system. The old key fob wasn't practical to carry around, but how will my wife avoid changing modes or triggering a panic with the key fob when she stuffs it into her purse?

I was hoping the key fob could also be used to unlock the SimpliSafe Smartlock instead of having to enter the pass code. Assuming that is not the case, is there a smartlock fob I can use?

When you have the key fob setup for medical and you press the red button. Do they automatically send medical help, or do they call first?
