Home Automation Integration

Hi Folks 

Thinking of buying a system but trying to understand what integrations can be achieved with Alexa.  For example, camera detects activity, can this trigger internal smart lighting to be activated?

Thanks 

Mark

@mark3db0eb Our integration with Alexa allows users to arm their systems and check in its armed status, but it cannot disarm your system or control any smart lights in your home. 

 

For more details, see the Using SimpliSafe With Amazon Alexa article in our Help Center.

@simplisafe_admin​ Thanks for the speedy reply.  Is this functionality on the development roadmap?  If so, any potential dates for it to be added?

@mark3db0eb currently, we do not have any news on if these features are in development. But if that changes, we will inform the Community.

Hear hear!  Very disappointing that this is not standard feature.

This is an alarm system, not a home automation product.  You can use something like Home Assistant to bring all of your smart devices together (including Simplisafe integration) and use that to set up these types of scenarios.

Hi, 

Recently I have downgraded to the basic package and my App does not support the automation feature. Not sure why this option has been removed from my App as I have just removed only the paid subscription. Please kindly look into this.

@selvinmail integration with home automations like Alexa and Google Home are only available when subscribed to select monitoring plans.

 

Unfortunately, home automations are not available with the free, Basic App Control plan.
