Smash Protection for the Base Station

@worthing As I have posted in the past, for me personally, this is a solution in search of a problem. Why?

Because it's a silly, stupid vulnerability that makes the system potentially less reliable.

Home Mode: Entry/Exit delay is 0/0. All intrusion sensors (motions, entry, glass break) are set to instant alert. Done.

Your requirements/use cases are not everyone else's requirements/use cases and vice versa. Just because you have a fix that works for you doesn't mean it works for everyone else. 

Away mode: exit 40 seconds, entry 20 (call SS and they will set it to whatever you want.) Again, base lights and voice all shutoff, dark and silent. Base is hidden somewhere. Good luck in 20 seconds.

To back up the point I'm trying to make above, hiding a base may not be an option for some people for any number of reasons. Maybe their sensors are just barely able to talk to their base station where it is and they can't move it w/o messing that up. Maybe their house/apartment is made of materials that drastically affect the range of their base station and tucking it in a cabinet, for example, exacerbates that issue. Maybe they can barely hear the base station at full volume as it is and hiding it in or behind something will make it even more difficult to hear. These examples are all taken from posts I've seen here and on Reddit more than a few times so they're "real world" and not just hypothetical examples.

Possible, yeah, but not likely.

Would I like SS to do this? Sure, but there are other items higher on my list I would like for them to address first.

Repeat after me: "My preferences aren't everyone else's and vice versa."  :)   Also I made no mention of a timetable of any sort, I just want them to add it to the list. 

(And let's be real, their fix / request list has quite a few items that have been requested for years. In some cases 3+ years and in at least one case, 5+ years. You shouldn't be worried about which stuff they get to first but rather if they get to it at all.)

....after thought. SS, if you want an easy way to address this, allow an intrusion sensor to alarm regardless of countdown state. Why? A base could be placed in secured location if a designated intrusion sensor goes off, an alarm state is set off regardless of countdown.

Instant trigger already exists but again, people may not be able to move their base station so it may be moot for them. Also while my request specifically mentions vulnerabilities where an intruder can physically access the base station they can still achieve the same effect (stopping the base station from sending an alarm once the countdown ends) with a signal blocker they can buy for $20-30 online. Adding an ethernet cable may stop that entirely which is also part of my request.

Ultimately SimpliSafe (or any other company in the same business) should make every reasonable effort to make their products and services as reliable and "tamper resistant" as possible. Asking customers to deal with these shortcomings themselves is not a good answer. Worse, they're relying on security through obscurity and aren't even making it clear to customers that this is a potential issue. (And we all know how well security through obscurity works, historically speaking.)

@worthing As I posted "for me personally".  If not clear in my post, let me be as clear as possible. For me, in my opinon, in my instance. Others may have different opinions, needs, requirements etc.
