More SimpliSafe BS with new base station
I get a message out of the blue last week saying they are sending me a new base station, apparently mine has some issues, or maybe it’s everyone I don’t know. Received the new base station today and learn, of course that I now have to go around to every device I have and essentially reset it/reconnect it. I suppose it makes sense that would need to be done, but I have four outdoor cameras, a couple of them I need ladders to access, several window, entry sensors, motion sensors etc. This is going to take a long time and generally be a pain in the ass. It’ll probably also do that thing where the trouble signal will beep or flash the next 24 hours because that’s what these things do when you add or change anything. I guess I’m glad they told me there’s an issue, but this company is a perpetual hot mess! I’ve had ongoing trouble with various pieces of equipment during my 3 1/2 years with this service. I pay for monitoring, I’ve expanded this system, and I swear I regret all of it. Having a home security system should not be this complicated and it should not pedal this kind of cheap Chinese-made crap. I’m thinking of just ending the monitoring, keeping the devices and slowly beginning to figure out how to replace it.
