Warning or Blocking putting into Home or Away if a sensor is open?

This doesn't make any sense. Refusing to arm is notable - there's no beep. Flashing a message on the keypad that you otherwise never need to sit and look at is silent. There's no rational reason for this that holds up to typical usage, it's a simple design choice that should have been reversed years ago.

Simplisafe is purchased as a "security" experience, not a "convenience" experience, and should be optimized to security first, with as many convenience affordances as possible without compromising the main mission. This does not appear to be simplisafe's culture though, as evidenced by their customer support folks offering up boilerplate responses (seriously: just describing the way something works, in response to someone raising a serious issue with how it works, is kind of insulting. This should have been escalated years ago.)

I absolutely agree.  My system « voice » is in another room so when I arm it, the tv is usually on and I can’t hear exactly

what it says.  I do always confirm that I have a text showing it is armed.  At the least, there should be a text that says X sensor is not armed.  

I am disappointed.  One of my doors didn’t catch and was left open all night.  I no longer feel very secure with this system.

Yep. This is still an issue, i left the garage door up the other day and somebody got away with $3300 in tools and parts overnight. System was still fully armed even when i got home hours later, totally happy, not a peep. (The camera in the garage caught a couple of seconds, but it's so slow to activate it didn't catch anything significant, and it's so loud when it opens the lens cover he just immediately heard it, looked up and turned it around.)

This is the last straw with simplisafe. It doesn't mesh so it scales poorly in longer houses (i constantly have sensors drop out) and then this crap that directly led to a loss. Not even an option? When i'm tapping the button as i get my kid and his stuff out the door for school, i'm not in a position to stand there and wait for readouts nor am

i inclined to unless i don't hear the arming beep. This is a terrible design choice, and that it's still a problem 3 years after even just this report shows simplisafe just cannot be trusted.

Simplisafe is made for apartments, and the cameras are made for maybe checking in on pets, that's about it.

@blwinton​ If you arm your system while an Entry Sensor is open there will not be an in-app notification, but the Base Station will announce that a sensor is open.

We have submitted the request for an app notification to our dev team for their consideration. Once we hear more from them, we will provide an update in this thread.

When I bot SS -- I never even considered asking about this functionality / thought it was a foregone conclusion / had Stanley at our business for 12 years - sensor open - can't arm the system - go find the problem and fix it

if you send to the product development team - they will say "no" - send it to the product marketing people - they understand customer needs and wants

@vineyestate​ please comment on this thread. The more traffic we can get there, the more we can show our Product team that the request is important to our Community.
