Naming Devices

How do you use the "other" option to name devices? I have two or more windows in 4 different rooms in our home and the system will only allow me to using a selected name (i.e. dinning room, etc.) once. I select other but have been unable to spell out the name of the device.

You can use your keypad, or if you have the 24.99 plan (easier to enter). For assistance, call support to walk you through.

Thank you. I discovered the error and it was me. The system was telling me three sensors were not responding. After posting my question, I searched SimpliSafe site for that issue and found my answer. Most common cause unused sensors that were placed in the system by SimplyDafe, which I had three. I ordered 22 sensors but I am only installing 19.

Also, What I found was when you have one or more entry points in the same room, you are able to name them all, i.e. dinning room. The system automatically identifies each one, dinning room, dinning room 1, dinning room 2, etc.

Thank you for the feedback.

@jbrum I know you aren't the only one with this type of response.  If you notice the date of the original post and the 5 comments to the original post.

Thanks @general_kaos . To answer @jbrum 's question:

After selecting "Other", you can type in the name you want to give your sensor using the number pad. It works just like texting on an older cellphone. For example, if you want the letter A, press [2] twice. You'll see an indicator that shows what letter you're on, so you won't get lost.
