Stray emissions from a SimpliSafe security system?

Bill, FWIW, I also run a SimpliSafe system and have seen no such spurs since its installation.  I'm curious though...which cellular modem do you have, T-Mobile or Verizon?  SimpliSafe swapped my original T-Mobile board for the Verizon version because I was not getting reliable comms through with the former.

No idea.  I just made the assumption that since the SimpliSafe was the only change I made locally, it was the culprit.  A neighbor could have added something or a cable TV shield could have broken.  Who knows.  Thanks for thinking about this one.

I am also using SimpliSafe system and no problems here.  Have you tried disabling one sensor at a time to see if it changes anything?

Thank you Bill,
I recently order the SimpliSafe system too and I am in the installation process now. I will continue to follow this on the forum.  Please keep posting your findings... I don't want to reinvent the wheel.

I have been thinking of getting the SimpliSafe system for my home. I'd appreciate input from those who have been using it for awhile regarding how well it works, bugs, any comparisons you may have done, etc.

Thanks & 73

Works fine for me/us.  I was concerned that the wireless coverage would be inadequate for our home because the plaster walls are built on wire mesh.  All sensors from both ends of the house and the basement (in the sump pit)  have no problem communicating.  Customer support is fine;  They replaced a cosmetically damaged keypad quickly and at no charge.  We haven't had a break in or fire yet so I have no idea on how their monitoring service works :-)  You can save some money (25%) by buying "refurbished" equipment.
