Out on vacation again with two eco systems: Simplisafe and Amazon

As we head out the door again on vacation I would be remiss not to recap the urgent need to fill a SimpliSafe product gap: home automation.  I sort of fill this with using basic "routines" in my Amazon Echo devices to turn lights on and off while away to make our house looked lived in.  Example: outside lights on at sunset, off at 12:30 and indoor lights on the first floor on, tv playing, downstairs lights off, 2nd floor bedroom  lights on for a bit and then off. Nice to have automatically but for now no connection to my 42 piece and 7 camera system.  For years I, and many others, have asked for connectivity, even as high tech as "if SS3 is in an alarm state, turn all lights on".   Security issues, SS? Please release a "hub" and a line of 3rd party  private labeled switches and plugs and I and others will buy them.

Every time I go on vacation this pops up to rub me the wrong way. Loyal SS customer since April 2012 but, really, you need to get this done!
