Scheduled Arming

I am not familiar with any security system that allows this type of scheduling. I guess I can see why you might want it, but my assumption is that this is something that would likely not be offered by SS as the risk of false alarms increase drastically and therefor would outweigh the benefit of so few who would want this option.

My previous Comcast home security system offered scheduling for arming and disarming.

Thanks for the response. Comcast has done it and others will add this feature creating more value. If SS wants to grow the product add then add useful features to keep the home armed when its needed. If your home you'll disarm it to HOME.

Another work around is in the phone app to remind, only if unarmed, notify alarm is "OFF" do want to ARM now at a predetermined time per your setting?

If you are a homekit user and when SS adds homekit support this this type of automation should be trivial.
Or if you have homekit setup now and you don't want to wait you can install homebridge with simplisafe. There are versions that work with both SS2 and SS3.

I don't know what homekit is? I think some apple product. I just want an aid or reminder to not leave my alarm UNarmed everyday.

also interested in this feature for a building.  I have ss in two other locations and would like to stay with the same system but the scheduled arming is imperative.  Is there any updated information on this feature?

Scheduled arming might be handy, but it will reduce your security.  You get used to the alarm coming on at a particular time (or to a particular schedule) with you doing nothing, and what are the odds you will forget to arm it during an unexpected interval when it should be armed?

As an option, I guess it would be ok for those willing to take the risk, but scheduled disarming would be a disaster waiting to happen.

It is a HUGE feature gap that SimpliSafe cannot be scheduled to arm or disarm on a schedule. There is no compelling reason not to offer this capability. SimpliSafe? SimpliSafe? Are you listening?

@swallack, HUGE for you, and others, but not a priority or important to me.  Yes, I have a list, but this isn't high on it.  Full integration with Amazon Echo to support scenes, an outside camera and light, multiple zones etc are all before schedules to arm or disarm.

And auto disarm is so dangerous, you might as well not bother having a system.  Auto arm is not dangerous so much as an opportunity for annoyance (forgetting it is armed and setting it off)

I would very much like this feature. I live in an apartment with two other guys and we are often in and out at random times, some of us not being as responsible as others. But like what was stated earlier, to have it armed for away at around 9am M-F would be a great addition. Or at the very least maybe SS can send you a notification on your phone telling you your alarm has been in the off mode for an hour. That way you can at least go on your phone and set it.

Came looking to see if this was a feature, found this thread. Burgled yesterday :(

For now I'm going to set a daily reminder to check alarm status, since I have the advanced interactive monitoring.
