Frequently Asked Questions
SimpliSafe outdoor siren working but no sound — volume issue?
Check whether the siren was set to Silent Mode (flashing only) rather than audible alarm mode. In the SimpliSafe app under Siren settings, confirm Audible Alarm is enabled.
SimpliSafe siren triggered but only beeped once and stopped — why?
A single beep and stop usually means the alarm was disarmed very quickly from the app or keypad. Review the event log in the SimpliSafe app to confirm whether a disarm event followed the trigger.
SimpliSafe indoor and outdoor siren not working at the same time — cause?
Both sirens failing together points to a base station communication issue rather than both sirens failing simultaneously. Restart the base station and check the system status in the app.
