BOSTON, April 1, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- SimpliSafe^®, maker of award-winning home security systems, and Farmers Insurance^®, one of the nation's leading multi-line insurer groups, today announce a collaboration that will help make preventative smart home protection available to homeowners in Ohio, Iowa and Alabama. The pilot effort aims to help insured homeowners protect their homes in those three states against theft, fire and water damage, while also providing them with potential savings on their homeowners insurance policies.

For a limited time beginning today, Farmers^® customers in the three participating states who bind a new Smart Plan Home policy between April 1, 2021 and May 31, 2021 will be qualified to receive an included custom 7-piece home security system from SimpliSafe, provided with their homeowners insurance policy at no extra charge.

"With SimpliSafe, we saw an opportunity to offer home security and monitoring services to customers when they are purchasing homeowners insurance, a time when home safety and security is likely to be top of mind.
