Wireless Siren Speaker capable of relaying Voice Prompts
Would also like to be able to hear the base station announcements better. Even set to the loudest settings you cannot hear the base station announcements. This has been an ongoing problem for many people for many years. It seems like SimpliSafe could easily do an update to allow the voice to come out of their optional extra sirens or offer additional remote speakers that would fix this problem. Even on the same floor in my home you cannot hear the voice in another room. Please SimpliSafe take this problem seriously and give us this much needed security fix.

Hi all,
An update about this specific request. The Wireless Siren is a very simple component. It's designed to be LOUD, and that's really it. Unfortunately, it's not capable of relaying audio like a wireless speaker - only the siren and chirps that it does now. So using it to relay voice prompts is not possible.

Hi @rrjak,
Thank you for this suggestion - it has been submitted to our dev team for their consideration. Once we hear back from our devs, an update will be provided in this thread.

Now this I like as if you can control it through the app if you want this or not and I would have it so if you are outside and door opens you could hear it on the extra siren which I have outside. No biggie but I like the idea.

And maybe a few dozen more pins while you're at it.

What would happen if you added a secondary base station to your alarm system? Could that act as another speaker and is it possible?

I am also on board with this suggestion! We need louder voice prompts for entry sensors! We use this in our business and unless you're right next to base station you can't hear it. If I could tap it into our music speakers that would be even better.

Most people cannot hear the Base Station from other rooms or other floors in their homes. Could you develop a Speaker to announce what the Base Station is saying that we could place wherever it is needed?

I’ve been trying to find a way to extend my systems voice prompts and doorbell chimes. During this search I’ve lost count of all the other Simplisafe owners looking for the very same thing. I myself would buy at least 4 of these devices if they existed, why isn’t this in development yet? Requests for a feature/device like this go back several years.
I’ll even ask nicely, pretty please make these units?

We will buy some too! We cannot hear the voice prompts from various rooms in our business and it is a hazard. Please make speakers for the voice prompts!

Please, please make a device that will parrot voice prompts from the base station. Thank you!
