SimpliSafe Entry Sensor (Pack of 4) - Window and Door Protection - Compatible with The SimpliSafe Home Security System - Latest Gen

We got these after getting our simpli safe system. They work great, are easy to install and connect to our system.

Worked as expected..

These are very easy to install and, as far as I can tell, work just as advertised.

These were able to sink with current system no problem. They were the last few I needed since I didnt order quite enough with my original system.

Any product made by this company is awesome

One of the sensors was used or repackaged as evidenced by the plastic bag being open and no mounting screws included. All the others were new as advertised.

Motion detection should be N/A not 5 stars. This is the only foolproof sensor in the SimpliSafe arsenal of sensors. Motion sensors have false positive alarms (alarm without a true trigger) even without pets. Also false negatives (not sensing when you walk past).

This was an add-on entry sensor since I already had ones for every exterior entry, including doggie door. However, while the doggie door sensor worked when completely closed for when I took trips, I wanted the extra protection for when I left it partially opened for pet entry/exit while I wasnt on a trip. For that added security, I added this sensor about halfway up such that door was open enough for pet but would require a person to lift it higher for entry; thus, setting off the alarm. So, was not on trip, I set the base unit to disable the doggie door closed sensor and enable the pet entry/exit door sensor. When on a trip, I set the base unit to disable the pet entry/exit door sensor and enable the doggie door sensor. Works like a charm.

Very easy DIY system not super expensive and beats all the other system monitoring pricing. From 0 to ~$24 per month!

Not as simple as it claims AND NO APPLE HOMEKIT SUPPORT. After a lot of research, we made the wrong decision and went with SimpliSafe. The videos and online manuals made setup appear simple. We purchased one keypad , 8 entry sensors, motion sensor, doorbell, door lock, and camera. Much of it was very simple to set up and some of it even very impressive. However, it is not even close to being as easy as they make it look. If your able to use a phone app, it is much simpler to setup than naming your devices with the archaic input on the keypad. Before I continue, let me reiterate that SimpliSafe does not work with HomeKit (Siri) although when we ordered our system this was supposed to be coming. Now everything I read says that basically Apple and SimpliSafe were not able to come to an agreement and there is no integration planned in the future (confirmed by tech support). This would have been a deal breaker as I would have never went with a system that doesn’t work with Apple. Back to installation, don’t expect a couple of hours to install it. Plan on a full day. The lock is not nearly as intuitive as it seems to install and none of the adapters were exactly what the instructions said we needed for our brand new construction townhouse. We picked the one that looked most like the suggested one and luckily it worked. You are actually replacing a physical deadbolt and this can take some time. The doorbell was very problematic. It repeatedly failed to connect to WiFi even though it is less than 8 feet from a repeater. The trouble shooter only offered the option of adding a repeater which we already had and was well within range. After less than two weeks the doorbell lost connectivity for no apparent reason. SimpliSafe support was very helpful even though they talk to you like you have no technology smarts at all, which is not my case. After walking me through a reset (tiny pin hole inside doorbell) that is not mentioned in any documentation I could find, we were able to get the doorbell back online and it has functioned correctly now for several weeks. Latest is that the camera has now lost WiFi connection even though the camera hasn’t moved and nothing has changed with our WiFi. After three tries to add the camera, it refuses to join the network. Again it has a very strong WiFi signal. Another call to customer support is going to be required to get the camera back online. Finally, the apps. We have the apps installed on an iPhone X, two iPad Pro’s, and Apple Watch 4. The phone app is just OK, but slow compared to other apps. There is no iPad app. You’re stuck with downloading the iPhone app meaning no horizontal use. Very disappointing. When the doorbell rings, I would expect the camera to automatically pop up on my phone. Nope. You get a notification and by the time the app opens and you can look at the camera, they are already gone. The Apple Watch app is totally worthless. It simply doesn’t work. Most of the time when you tap it is starts refreshing indefinitely. The couple of times that it did finish refreshing, the status of the alarm was totally wrong even though the phone had the accurate state of the alarm. Do your research and don’t believe all the recommendations that SimpliSafe supposedly has. There are several other security systems that I have send discovered, or are newer, that promise a better experience and Apple HomeKit integration. We use a different system in our vacation home that is far superior to SimpliSafe.
