can the base station announce which alarm is triggered?

I would like to have a voice notification of which door/window is open instead of just a beep. I lot would be nice to hear “front door open” I know some people find it annoying so there should be an option to have it on or off or only announced for certain sensors. 

I've had a couple false smoke detector events that triggered alarms at night. Not having a verbal announcement of which smoke detector is alarming (we have 3, including two out of earshot) is a real hindrance in determining the location of the source of the alarm.  Reading an alert text on my cell phone is impossible when central dispatch is calling me on the same phone. I have had to resort to asking dispatch what & where triggered the alarm.  This is not an acceptable design by any stretch of the imagination. 

@dutchowens57​ right now, the SimpliSafe Base Station is not able to announce which sensor is triggered, by name.

During an alarm event, with the main siren blaring, you might not even hear anything else. So the best solution is to enable Smart Alerts, which can be sent through App Notification, SMS, or email. They can even be sent to as many contacts as you want, so any family members with phones or tablets can get the alert right away. Smart Alerts contain info about the type of alarm (burglary, fire, etc.), as well as which sensor triggered.

But the Base Station is actually at least capable of announcing the names. It already does so during Test Mode. It just hasn't yet been enabled outside of Test Mode.

That's why I moved your comment to this thread - it sounds like you're asking for a similar thing, and I wanted to add your voice here.

Alert Texts are a good idea for casual monitoring, but during an Alarm situation are iffy - Central Dispatch will call almost immediately and it's tough to multitask on a cellphone 10 seconds after waking from deep slumber.
