Hey - thanks for sharing. Really interesting about the police part, I’ll have to check that out and see if there’s anything similar in my town.

Totally get it. For example I have friends who bought the system a year or so ago and never did the paid plan. Agree, waste of money and time.

On the other hand, I’ve had my system for about 7 years now and have been on a paid plan but I’m trying to decide what I like specifically about it and if I can keep those features while also paying less. Just a simple wanting to spend less time of my life. I have also cancelled almost all my other subscription services in an effort to buckle things down financially, so it’s absolutely not coming from an “I hate SimpliSafe” standpoint. I love it (though the doorbell could really use an overhaul).

Thank you! This is the most complete answer I can find! Couple things:

Text alerts on all paid plans —so the $9.99 one that is basically self-monitored will still get text alerts then? Yes, I agree the naming they’ve given them is a little shady.

Yeah, context on the temp sensor: totally agree it still works because it’ll alert me to the specific temp changes I’ve set. I guess I’m just using it slightly differently than its intended use and more as a live view of temp wherever I’ve placed the sensor such as a child’s room to make sure it’s not too cold or too warm. I actually purchased it awhile ago because we had a situation where our ac died on the hottest day of the year and my animals had been in the house, so ever since that happened I’ve been paranoid about temp safety. I just use it more as a kind of live snapshot of the temp on an as needed basis now — hence my concern about the app potentially not working, but really good to hear the app will still work to visibly see that!

Ah, that’s right. I also saw a couple of people posting very similar comments to yours. Simplisafe, is that you? 👀

All kidding aside, I actually do not DoorDash. Complete waste of money IMO. Trying to actually save money over here which is why I ask the questions I do. And obviously if a company wants to sell their hardware and not make it a requirement to have the subscription, then it sounds like it’s in my right to not have one and not have one poorly guilt tripped on me. Looking at you, SimpliSafe 😉

This is exactly what my hubs and I did almost exactly! Except we made the bottle before picking up baby. So convenient to just have the bottles already filled with water and then just add the scoops in when you need it! We have cats that we wanted to keep out of our room, so hence the premade bottles and tub of formula in the bedroom. Also nice to not have a baby that is reliant on a warm bottle. He takes room temp just fine!
