I simply had enough (pun intended) and I ordered a Ring Alarm system. Ring Alarm was my second choice to SimpliSafe and it was time to give Ring a shot. I had no issues with connectivity with my prior Brinks system and figured that I could go with a different system and have better luck. However, we’re talking about a security system and I just didn’t really feel secure. As a matter of fact, I installed a SimpliSafe system in my sister’s house and hers is working perfectly with none of these issues. This is not something that the average SimpliSafe user faces. It would warn about doors/windows being open that were no longer open. It also appears that SimpliSafe has a relatively short wireless range compared to other systems.Įvery day that I used SimpliSafe, there was some issue or warning about something not connecting. This seemed to be too much for SimpliSafe to compete with. Not only do I have well over 75 WiFi connected devices, but I also have a ton of RF wireless devices too. Now to be fair, my house is loaded with wireless devices. This was also coupled with the base station constantly alerting me to “ wireless interference” problems. As a matter of fact, the new sensors started having the same issues like the ones they replaced as well as other sensors sporadically would disconnect and reconnect. After talking with support, they shipped me two replacement sensors and I thought that the problem was solved. Why I switched to Ring AlarmĪs I mentioned in my review of SimpliSafe, I was having issues with a couple of entry sensors losing their connection to the SimpliSafe base station. While I do still stand by that review and everything I said, I have actually switched to Ring Alarm! It’s rare that after I do my research and make a tech decision that I end up switching to something else so soon after, but this is one of those cases. It was just one month ago that I wrote a review of SimpliSafe.
