Replacement base station
I got a replacement base station today. It was sent to me as an attempt to fix my issues with getting warnings about my smart locks. I think that the issue is related to firmware and not to the base station, but whatever. I'll try it.
They sent me no instructions at all on how to replace one base station with another, so I have no idea what to do. Has anyone gone through this that can offer me some advice?

Note, I'm with you, I don't think this will address the db issues.

Edit: they just hung up on me and now they're closed. Fail.

I do need to do it though. I had one lock stop responding and I had to take the battery out of the lock to get it to reconnect.

From a technology perspective this company is just terrible. And along the way I have been emailing & leaving messages for a "supervisor" to call me and they literally never have--not once. Such a joke.

Or, you can remove the battery cover on the lock and hold the reset button in until the lights flash, then add it to the new system.
The problem is that neither phone support nor Twitter support knew this. A product support person at the company actually called and told me what to do and it worked.

For clarification, I had zero problems with the original Base Station (not so with SS2). When SimpliSafe sent the new Verizon circuit board/module to swap for better coverage (original was T-Mobile), I found a broken plastic piece inside upon opening. Long story shortened, SimpliSafe was great about shipping me out a new Base Station within two days. They also went ahead and sent a replacement for the one Motion Sensor that I had to reseat the battery a couple of times to get it back to communicating with the system. I was surprised because typically, shipping is very slow at this time of year, and it is not easy to reach Customer Service. I waited less than 30 seconds to swap the new serial number.
