To arm your SimpliSafe system in Home Mode at night, follow these steps:
1. Locate your keychain remote: The keychain remote is a small device that you can carry with you wherever you go. It typically has buttons labeled “Off,” “Home,” and “Away.”
2. Press and hold the “Off” button: Find the “Off” button on your keychain remote and press it down. Keep holding it down for the next step.
3. Press the “Away” button: While still holding down the “Off” button, press the “Away” button on the keychain remote. This combination of buttons will arm the system in Home Mode.
4. Verify the arming mode: After pressing both buttons, the SimpliSafe system will enter Home Mode. This mode is designed for when you are inside your home but want the system to be armed. The system will only activate certain sensors, allowing you to move around freely within your home without triggering an alarm.
5. Confirm the arming status: Once you have armed the system in Home Mode, the SimpliSafe base station will emit a series of beeps and the keypad will display a countdown timer to indicate that the system is armed and has entered Home Mode. This will give you enough time to exit your home or go to bed before the system is fully armed.
6. Test the system: It’s always a good idea to test your SimpliSafe system after arming it. Walk around your home and trigger the various sensors to ensure they are working properly. This will give you peace of mind knowing that your system is functioning correctly.
Additional tips:
– If you want to arm your SimpliSafe system in Home Mode from outside your home, simply follow the same steps while standing outside. This way, you can ensure your system is armed before entering your home.
– Remember to disarm the system in the morning or when you return home by pressing the “Off” button on your keychain remote.
– If you have multiple keychain remotes for different family members, ensure that each person knows how to arm the system in Home Mode. This way, everyone can feel secure and protected.
– SimpliSafe also offers other arming options, such as “Away Mode” for when you are leaving your home and want the entire system armed, including all sensors. You can use the same keychain remote to activate this mode by pressing the “Away” button without holding down the “Off” button.
By following these steps, you can easily arm your SimpliSafe system in Home Mode at night, providing you with the peace of mind and security you desire.
