tests by Simplisafe

Why is it that if my alarm system in my second home does not answer a test the system shuts off until I come home and take a screwdriver to the bottom of the base unit and take the battery out to reset.  The alarm is dead during SimpliSafe test and my ability to get to my second home to do this manual reset.  I say get a local service that is there every day.  This is not for a second home unless I am missing something.  Having not alarm in the interim in not doing me any good.
