Sensors

Installing SimpliSafe® sensors takes less than a minute! In most cases, sensors can be mounted on walls by using the adhesive strips on the back of each device. However, there are some situations where the sensor may not adhere to the wall effectively, like: Brick surfaces: the surface can be rough

If you purchased a Motion Sensor from SimpliSafe prior to April 2023, it is likely that you have the first generation of the Motion Sensor. You can also tell which version of the Motion Sensor you have by comparing the size of the dome on it. The Motion Sensor Gen 1 has a dome with a 1-inch diameter

The warning ‘Sensor Not Responding’ for a Motion Sensor Gen 1 can be caused by a couple of things, including a low battery or a weak connection between the device and the Base Station. As a first step, we’d recommend ensuring that the battery is correctly installed. To do this: Slide the sensor off

The Entry Sensor magnet uses a slightly different adhesive than the other sensors. Remove the magnet by rotating the magnet slowly until the adhesive loosens and you can pull it off the wall.
