Two base stations but only one professionally monitored?

I have an existing single base station and monitoring plan for my residence.

I'd like to setup a base station and sensors in an external garage which is set away from the residence.  But this system doesn't need to be professional monitored (by Simplisafe), just standalone in the app with any alerts only going to me.

Is it possible to have this type of setup (one base professionally monitored, the other self-monitored)?  I would use the same email address and login in the app.

@jrb_123 Two separate systems and SS now supports multiple locations,  SS should be able to do this. Suggest you call, opt for sales and see what they say. BTW, Costco has some great deals at very low price points if you need to get that 2nd system. Please post your outcome here if you get the chance. Happy Holidays to you and your family.

Good news, I was able to install a separate system and manage it in the app without adding the monitoring plan.

One slight downside is the alarm notifications are push only from the app (no SMS / Text without monitoring).  Otherwise, the system is working fine and it's easy to switch back and forth in the mobile app.

Thanks for your comment and happy holidays to you!

@jrb_123 Glad it worked out. Push alerts are considered faster and more reliable than SMS, but good it works.  Live long and prosper!
