Help Center - Getting back to basics
As I did my daily search for Simplisafe FCC filings (yeah, 99.9% dull but do hit some gold now and then) I thought I would head over to the Help Center and start a daily routine there for things I expected to easily find. To my surprise, I couldn't find Owner Manuals. Tried several modifications and still came up empty. Yes, I did find several articles that "sort of" answered the query, but not the actual owner manuals.
Apologies if I missed them, but Davey, they should be there clearly posted by bullet point for each product. KISS should be the golden rule, and this example is a clear sample of that. Same for the firmware update section of the community. Yep, it's there in conversation form, but how about a concise bullet point listing of the current firmware for all products in one place?
Don't get me wrong, this new community is light years ahead of the old state of the art 1997 community, but, it can be better.
What do you think? What suggestions do you have?

Hi Captain,
We have the Manuals on their own dedicated page here. But you're right, folks would be expecting to find that same info on our Help Center, and we could do with a bit of consolidating.
And you're right, the primary point of my firmware update posts is to open up conversation - so if anyone has trouble or stumbles upon a bug, I can report it to out engineers.
Both are great suggestions, however, and would be great for our Help Center team to keep in mind as we work on future improvements.
