Schedule alarm on/off

I know it's been asked before but I want to add my thin voice to the crowd... please add an auto-arm by schedule feature!  I was with some "other guys" prior to SimpliSafe and the set alarm times for nighttime arming was one of the most helpful features.  If competitors can do it... :)

Hi, just wanted to put in my vote that I think there should be a scheduled arming feature (I see previous forum posts where this has been requested a lot). My previous Digital Life system had it, and it was nice to have as a safeguard in case of forgetting to do it myself in the evening. In fact, it's this missing feature that right now has me a bit hesitant about whether to keep the Simplisafe (I just made the switch yesterday since Digital Life will no longer be supporting cellular emergency calls, and I didn't like the 3 year contract and more expensive monthly cost for the Brink upgrade they offered). Yes, I know you can set reminders, but that isn't as useful as I'm not always checking the notifications on my phone.

That said, I found that you can set up a scheduled arm (no disarm) if you have Google assistant/home. Simply create a routine in the Google home app that runs at a specified time each day, and have it arm your security system as the action for that routine.

I've been asking for years now for Simplisafe to include auto scheduler for alarm to be turned on at designated times.   

Many times someone comes home late and forgets to put alarm on before bed,  MyQ Garage Door opener has that feature...

It makes sense....please ask Simplisafe to get it done.....thanks.

I just got this system. This is the first feature I am looking for. I have a daily schedule on my current alarm system to arm at night at multiple times and disarm once in the morning.  When I go on multi day trip, I disable this schedule and re-enable it when I am back. 

After 4 years since this post, I don't see this feature implemented. I have been using my current system for well over 10 years in this way. I am disappointed about simplisafe right now. This may be a reason for me to return this product.

@davey_d SS should absolutely have the OPTION to set the system to automatically disarm during home mode. The homeowner/human is making a conscious effort and a direct action to set the alarm this way. It should be their preference.  Customers should drive innovation and features. Example- someone in the family gets up at 6 AM to get ready for school/ work, or to take a pet out but forgets to turn off the alarm and opens a door setting it off and scaring others sleeping.  The alarm could be set to automatically disarm at a time your family decides no one is likely to be up - say 5:30.    Ultimately, it should be up to the owner to make a personal choice at what time the alarm auto disarms.  Give the customer the option but leave it up to them as to what’s right for their situation.  I like many others on this thread have had this feature with other systems and it was very helpful and appreciated.   

I have used two other services in the past and each of them offered an automatic arm / disarm feature for the alarm system. 

This system offers a suggestion feature to turn on or off. But it would be great if you could set it up automatically. 

Ring actually already offers this feature and when I moved homes and went with SimpliSafe I was surprised that it did not have it. It is a valuable feature because I know the general times my family is awake and asleep. So, when I had Ring my system would automatically arm at the time I knew everyone would be home and settling into bed, which was around 10pm. Then it would automatically disarm when I knew my wife and I would be awake in the morning around 6am.

Many people don’t use their security systems because you have to think about arming and disarming the system. This feature makes it easy to use. 

It’s not a feature you use when your away from the home. It’s a feature you use to make sure arming and disarming are easy while you’re home. I can’t tell you how many times we have accidentally set the alarm off when letting the dogs out in the morning because we forgot to disarm the system. It’s irritating and frustrating to have to scramble to find your phone or run to the other side of the house to use the keypad. Schedules make it easy. 

One more thing - sometimes our family doesn’t always have the same schedule, but it’s much easier to have to think about manually arming and disarming when there an exception than it is to have to remember to always do it manually and not set the alarm off when letting the dogs out in the morning 😆

I've been asking for years for SS to give the option to set automatic timed alarms on/off for late night forgetfulness.

When coming in from work late at night and forget to arm

When kids come home and forget to arm

Set the system to auto arm at midnight....

Still no ability to do so.

Instead a "reminder" on the app to "set a time to remind yourself"

I could have done that timer myself 5 ways on my iphone...

Come on Simply I love you, been w/ you since the beginning but this needs to get done...
