Hi @Mkeiser ,
Unfortunately no, that level of functionality is not available - our sensors' state cannot be used as triggers for smart devices.
With Interactive Monitoring, we do offer integration with Amazon Alexa, and Google Assistant. But that just enables arming and checking status via voice command, as well as adding arming of the system to routines.

Thanks for the quick response. This would be a valuable feature. Perhaps simplisafe could consider it as a future enhancement.
Or better yet, perhaps SimpliSafe could develop its own tightly integrated smart thermostat. I’d buy it.

I’m almost done with Nest thermostats. They haven’t updated the annoyingly tappy UI in the iOS app in ten years, and there’s no Siri or HomeKit integration. I would be happy to try a SimpliSafe thermostat.

I think anyone who uses a smart thermostat would welcome, with open arms, a Simplisafe smart thermostat. I don't understand why they haven't developed one as other security systems either have them or work with other brands.. I've had Simplisafe at multiple properties for years but am considering changing to a system that acommadates a smart thermostat.

Were Simplisafe to integrate with any of the popular smart thermostat solutions, Simpisafe could claim to be an enabling partner of not only the savings the smart thermostat enables but also the enabler of the smart thermostat programs offered by electric utilities like Dominion.
Not bad press and I can't imagine the electric utilities would not welcome the partnership.
The alternative is SimpliSafe requires its own separate set of sensors and does not enable smart thermostat solutions and savings.
From what I have read, many SimpliSafe owners would upgrade their systems, purchase smart thermostats, enroll in electric utility programs, and provide a positive reference base for all concerned.
Just an idea.

SimpliSafe needs to get busy and either add integration with existing smart thermostats (i’m likely going to be buying an ecobee) or develop one of their own. This is a HUGE hole in their product line.

Agreed! SimpliSafe needs to include this in future updates. I would even be willing to upgrade my base station if needed to add thermostat functionality. Please add this to your list of near-future projects, especially the ability to adjust the temperature depending on the arming status and the temporary off if doors are left open for more than X (adjustable time value) minutes.
