1. Entry sensor on a medicine cabinet
Entry sensors are a no-brainer on doors and windows, but what about other places you don’t want anyone else accessing?
Kim once had an incident where someone working in her home took medication from her mother’s medicine cabinet without her knowledge. That’s why she added a SimpliSafe sensor, so she never has to worry about someone snooping and stealing again.
You or someone you live with is likely to be prescribed a controlled medication at some point. Simply placing a sensor on the door to your medication cabinet will allow you to get alerts sent to your phone whenever the cabinet is opened.
2. Water sensor
What’s the worst feeling in the world? Getting a call that your home flooded, or even worse, returning after hours of water pouring into your home.
What if day or night, home or away, you could be alerted immediately if water started accumulating where it shouldn’t? With a water sensor, you can do just that. The sensor will send off an alert whenever it comes into contact with water, allowing you to respond quickly and avoid extensive, costly damage.
3. Entry sensors on safes and weapon cabinets
