water valve

I'm wondering if anyone has had any success with linking any type of automatic water control valve to their Simplisafe system?

Hi @scwling, 

SimpliSafe uses its own system that isn't able to integrate devices from other companies. We use a closed system so we can ensure that your security system is truly secure.

Not a good answer. You have a great water sensing product but without a means to shut it off it’s semi useless. Adding an auto shutoff will not compromise security.  

I am a cyber security expert.

@shammack33 I will be the first one to admit I am nowhere near a security expert, but seeing Ring and ADT get hacked, I think Emily's response has some merit, but to a point. One way flag sent out of the SS ecosystem seems pretty simple enough and very secure to me. So....water sensor goes off, SS sends a one digit flag to Moen shut off unit signifying "hey, water sensor alarmed, shut off the valve."  Same scenario to turn on my IoT indoor and out door lights for an alarm event to light the house up like a Christmas tree!

Agreed we need a water shutoff integration bad.  Simplisafe you could really pull a lot of people in with this functionality!!
