SimpliSafe Integration in Home Assistant (Authorization Code Issue)

You won't get many or perhaps any answers here. Do some searching on the HA forum and I'm sure you checked the documentation page in the integration and online etc.

Fairly certain doing a little testing today that its security settings in the browser, and clearing cache data etc. in history.

I had it running at one time, some security changes may have thrown a wrench in the gears. It'll take some research on your part. If it still works at all. Don't remember, nor care to remember.

My personal opinions only follows;

It's not worth the hassle, good HA Integration work by @bachya, but, Simplisafe sensors are polled, meaning if you used one in an automation in HA, it might occasionally register as open, the polling is happenstance.

Open door, wait up to 30 seconds light bulb lights up. Close door before poll, no light or any indication in HA that a sensor opened.

You can arm etc. but with the SS app, keyfobs, maybe voice if you pay monitoring. Who needs that.

Anyhow, I found the integration worked within the limitations of Simplisafe allows. Which isn't much. Mimics the app or something a little.

Why does arming SS happen faster in HA? Arming is handled by webhooks.

I found it useless myself and never used it. I did try. When it asked for new authentication, I deleted it from Home Assistant. Forever.

And I added a parallel Alarmo integration system, Zha zigbee sensors etc. etc. Useful integration, sensors for actual automations and security. Long story cut short.

When trying to follow the "here" link from the install dialog to get an authorization code from Simplisafe, the linked page fails to completely load or provide the code in an obvious way. It is possible to obtain it from the browser's network traffic log:

• Log into your simplisafe account in a browser, and then open up the developer console. Specifically go to the network traffic tab.
• Copy the "here" link from the Home Automation dialog into the browser, and let it not work (if it does the MFA email login, fine, but for me it was a gray screen).
• One of the requests you'll see in the network traffic log should have a 302 HTTP code and look like this: com.simplisafe.mobile://auth.simplisafe.com/ios/com.simplisafe.mobile/callback?code=abc123
• That "abc123" is the auth code you need. Copy paste that back into your Home Automation dialog.

When or if questions arise, holler. I just added it to test, its a little tricky.

🤔, Been a few months, or longer perhaps, since I fiddled with the Simplisafe integration.

It appears I can use my Home Assistant Alarmo integration Geofence automations to arm and disarm Simplisafe as well.

Guess I can retire the KeyFob soon, but keep it handy (saves battery ) in case the Integration squawks for re-authentication or fails otherwise, app changes etc. and I get a message arming or disarming Simplisafe failed.

Testing soon.

One other tip that might help is adding auth.simplisafe.com & simplisafe.com etc to allow third party cookies in browser settings, security & privacy
