Smoke detector set up

I just had to replace my Simplisafe base station. How do I reset my smoke detector so I can use it with my new base station?

@mikesilva1971 think of the smoke sensor like any other sensor.  Go to the web dashboard or your keypad, go to add device and then push the test button on the smoke sensor. It should read "sensor added", then hit save.  Make sure to test it after your install to make sure it was done properly. If you have doubts, call Simplisafe support to walk you through.

@captain11​ that's right! One added detail, is that you want to press the clear button on the front (the thing that also lights up). That's what we call the Smoke Detector's Test Button.

Long press it or just one quick press of the button?

@mikesilva1971,

One quick press of the button will do the trick!
