I would change your password immediately. You may want to contact SS as well. Do you use the same passwords for multiple sites? If yes stop doing that right now.
I do not use the same password for multiple sites and my SS password is very complex. I did contact SS and they were not helpful at all. The other odd thing is that as I sit here right now with our system disarmed, tapping the "off" option in the SS app does nothing. If someone else had somehow obtained my login credentials and done the same thing via the app, I would expect the same result so this is puzzling.
It might be a pain, but I would not hesitate to change everything. Better safe than sorry. A bit of learning and discomfort is not a good enough reason not to do so.
(I am also curious if you did, would it happen again)
Perhaps someone has compromised one of your phones or alternative log-ins (computer, tablet, etc.).
It's possible it was just a wierd glitch of some kind. I do know that when you are adding sensors like you were when you exit out from the keypad the alarm will say "Alarm Off" even though it was already off. I suppose it could be possible that you were still in the menu system when you finished and it eventually timed out and exited the menu, resulting in the "Alarm Off" message. I'd have to test this theory and see if that time out takes a while, AND if it registers as an APP command, but just a thought.
Either way, at a very minimum I'd probably change your app login password. Pins and secret codes? That would be a stretch that someone from the internet somewhere is gonna jump on an airplane and come to your house to break in. Seems pretty unlikely, but crazier things happen.
Just to add to the weirdness here, I navigated to the "Manage Logins' area under "Account' and I did see two devices in there listed as "Unknown'. I should have taken a screenshot of exactly what it said there but I just logged both of those devices out and changed my login password, master pin and safe word. The other devices that were showing as logged in there were my phone, my wife's phone and my computer.
I am going to reach out to SS support again tomorrow to see if they maintain logs of which devices sign in to an account; however, based on my experience with support so far, I'm not going to get my hopes up. It's totally possible all of this could be nothing, but I'm not risking the safety of my family.
Im with drunkpenguin on this, if you add a sensor a d did not exit out ot waits a certain time and will time out or exit itself out and say alarm off. Same with test mode as i did that one time where i forgot to exit out of test mode a few minutes later i heard (alarm off) so that coukd be what happened but not 100%sure
My system was armed in away mode when I got the message that it was disarmed by remote. Neither my wife nor I had disarmed the system. SimpliSafe created a complaint and will let me know what they find after they investigate but, this is a very scary happening.
