Voice Prompts using Alexa and Google

I see many people cannot hear the Voice Prompts or Announcements if they are in another room from the Base. Why can't SS have Amazon Alexa and Google also announce all System Status and Entry Sensor Alerts thru the Alexa and Google units.

Seems like it would be easy to do.

Hi @rrjak, 

SimpliSafe uses its own closed system that we are currently focused on. We do have some integrations with Alexa and Google that allow you to arm you system, but we are also conscious of finding a balance that still keeps our system locked down. 

We do offer a Wireless Siren that sounds when an alarm is triggered and when an Entry Sensor is opened. This can be placed throughout your home where you may not be able to hear your Base Station.

@emily_s​ however the wireless sirens will not do voice alerts through it, only the chirps. Would be nice to hear what entry sensor was opened when it happens like other security companies offer. Not being able to hear the voice alerts in another room or another floor of your house makes me feel very uprotected.
