Take it apart and clip the speaker/beeper wire. That is the solution available to you at this moment, and quite possibly the only one there will ever be.
Unfortunately there is no volume setting for the Keypad itself - only the Wireless Siren and the Base Station. But you do still have the option of disabling the countdown entirely for Home Mode - so it arms near-instantly.
Unfortunately, you need to listen to the functionality your customers are asking for. There is no reason to have a mandatory exit delay chime for away mode. Please let someone important know that this is a requested feature.
Kevin,
I use Home most of the time when leaving my house and am set to zero. Unless I am not understanding something, you just put system in Home while exit door is open and then leave. No countdown needed.
The way the system is intended to be used is push "Away" when you leave the house, and "Home" when you want the system armed but you're still at home (i.e. going to bed). We have two keypads - one on the main floor and one in the master bedroom. We push "Home" on the upstairs keypad when getting ready for bed. And, since the "Home" feature is set to have no countdown, it immediately arms. Although the base station will still announce, "Simplisafe on... Home."
I also find this annoying. My husband leaves for work really early in the morning, so he disarms the system, and then rearms it "home' as he leaves since I am still home. He needs some exit delay so he can get out of the house, but the beeping wakes me and our dogs up. If it beeped once, it would be fine, but the continual beeping as it counts down the time is annoying.
sarah.e.resse - Does your husband have the SimpliSafe app installed on his phone? If so, then you could set the exit delay to 0, and he could wait until he is outside and has closed the door to arm the system. Then the rest of you could sleep peacefully. :)
While what castewa88 has mentioned should work, there is an alternative option. This option also requires setting the Exit Delay down to 0 seconds for
Home Mode but doesn't require the use of the SimpliSafe app. This option uses the sensor bypass option built into the SimpliSafe system. All that your husband would need to do is to open the door first before arming the system. This will bypass that Entry Sensor until it has been closed. Once he leaves through the doorway and closes the door behind him, the system will be armed.
New customer, same boat. Wife leaves 2 hours before I get up, and has to set to Home and make it out the door. So 0 Exit isn't an option. And I'm not asking her to use the app with her hands already full. So I'm currently stuck being woken up.
You can remove the speaker if you can solder. You have to jump the circuit after removing the speaker. I removed the speaker and put a wire across the posts with a dab of solder. Problem solved and my wife is happy.
@rfastring actually, if you just rip the plastic cover off the speaker and remove the top slice, it silences it without solder lol. That was this morning's project.

I have to agree with the other commenters that the countdown beeping is annoying. It also scares my dog, which is not acceptable.

Hello Simply safe!!!!
are you hearing what your customers are saying is a big problem. I can’t believe that a system programmer can’t put this function in an update.
