Silencing countdown timer on keypad
When I arm the system in Home, I find the countdown beeping to be very annoying. For example, if it's late at night and I put the system into Home, I don't want loud beeps waking up my family.
Is there some option to silence the countdown that I'm missing? I know I can set the exit delay to 0, but that doesn't work for me as we sometimes use Home when leaving the house.

Unfortunately there is no volume setting for the Keypad itself - only the Wireless Siren and the Base Station. But you do still have the option of disabling the countdown entirely for Home Mode - so it arms near-instantly.

I use Home most of the time when leaving my house and am set to zero. Unless I am not understanding something, you just put system in Home while exit door is open and then leave. No countdown needed.

While what castewa88 has mentioned should work, there is an alternative option. This option also requires setting the Exit Delay down to 0 seconds for Home Mode but doesn't require the use of the SimpliSafe app. This option uses the sensor bypass option built into the SimpliSafe system. All that your husband would need to do is to open the door first before arming the system. This will bypass that Entry Sensor until it has been closed. Once he leaves through the doorway and closes the door behind him, the system will be armed.

I have to agree with the other commenters that the countdown beeping is annoying. It also scares my dog, which is not acceptable.

New customer, same boat. Wife leaves 2 hours before I get up, and has to set to Home and make it out the door. So 0 Exit isn't an option. And I'm not asking her to use the app with her hands already full. So I'm currently stuck being woken up.

You can remove the speaker if you can solder. You have to jump the circuit after removing the speaker. I removed the speaker and put a wire across the posts with a dab of solder. Problem solved and my wife is happy.

Hello Simply safe!!!!
are you hearing what your customers are saying is a big problem. I can’t believe that a system programmer can’t put this function in an update.
