SimpliSafe for your RV?

@tech_aiden​ Also, certain features may not/will not be available without monitoring, or full interactive monitoring. Then again, you run into the challenge of requiring an actual registered address for response purposes if you have full interactive monitoring enabled and a subscription for it. Without looking at it and thinking about it, I'm not sure if you can turn off the emergency response and just use interactive monitoring for the ability to access your system from the Simplisafe app and receive alerts, be able to monitor, and review/use settings from the app.

@bwinkle4 Also, it may be difficult to register to an actual specific address if you're moving around, and/or if there's not official address nearby (which you'll want and need). You would also need to get permission from someone with that official address, or ensure they don't already have an alarm system. Not to mention some areas require permits for response. In addition, registering it to a "non-existent" address, an address not approved by the owner, to an alternate/nearby address, an address with another separate alarm system (or second alarm system), or an address location without a permit could present other legal challenges. The legality of some of the items above, among others, could present separate challenges, not to mention that the legality could, and probably would, from place to place. Good points above from Simplisafe and others though.

@sevensiamesecats​ @bwinkle4 I didn't realize you had actually linked your RV Simplisafe system to the house (and not separately, or with a separate system/base station). That is cool and a good idea when at home.

I guess on the road, the other items I listed in this thread, may actually still come into play, but still cool, and gets around some of those items I mentioned in that comment (as long as you don't want or need it monitored on the road).

I guess you could have the Simplisafe sensors labeled as "RV/Camper - Front Door Entry", or something similar, etc., so that dispatched authorities, along with the Simplisafe monitoring center, would know they are actually in the RV, instead of the house. This is also what I've heard/seen others do with sheds or other outbuildings.

I do have the sensors so labeled.  Not sure it does any good though; the one time they called me for an alarm when I was on the road, they claimed they did not have access to which sensor set off the alarm.

@sevensiamesecats​ right, the Monitoring operators are given limited info about the type of sensor. But the actual labels are only for your Event Log and notifications.

On SimpliSafe Original, sensor names are app-side only. But on Gen 3, those nicknames are actually stored in the Base Station, so they would appear on Keypad and Base Station warnings as well.

@bethb​ that's amazing. Thanks so much for sharing your experience!

@bethb​ 

Does the app show all those old locations now?

Do you have the system on "do not notify" or did you leave it so emergency services is called?

Thanks.

@wmgilligan​ you don't need to register a new location every time you move. You can just change the address on your current account, right in the app. You can do that at any time, as many times as you like.

@betterhomerental​ though it is a couple of years old already, the info we have in this thread is still fairly accurate. There's just a couple of things I would add:

We have since had a price increase in Monitoring Plans - Standard is now $17.99, and Interactive is $27.99. Learn more here.
