    Keep nosy guests in check with Secret Alerts

    Posted March 22nd, 2022 by SimpliSafe

    We all have a place in our home that is off-limits. 

    Whether it’s your bedroom, the medicine cabinet, or a personal safe, there’s bound to be somewhere you don’t want people snooping around. That’s why we created SimpliSafe Secret Alerts. 

    A Secret Alert will let you know right away when a nosy roommate or curious kid is poking around where they shouldn’t be. And it gets the job done discreetly, without setting off your alarm. 

    How to set up Secret Alerts

    You can enable Secret Alerts on any of your Entry Sensors in 3 easy steps:

    1. First, launch the SimpliSafe App

    2. Next, navigate to Menu > Device Settings > Refresh & Edit

    3. Finally, select an Entry Sensor and enable Secret Alerts*

    Congratulations! You just created a secret alarm for your home.

    Need additional Entry Sensors for your home? Shop now. Want to set up text & email alerts? Learn more.

    *Secret Alerts can be enabled for both Home Mode and Off Mode.
