Are all integrations 1-way?
I was reading about how SS has integration with Alexa, Google and I think Apple Homekit too. But it seems this is only 1-way, you can issue commands to Siri/Alexa/Google but you can't get your smart-home to perform actions based on SS events. e.g. Turn some smart-plugs on when the system is armed, etc. Is that correct?
Obviously IFTTT is the big missing platform but if there was some way to cobble things together that'd still be nice. Is it possible at all?

2. There is not any Apple Homekit support and I doubt there ever will be. While it was teased at a couple years ago, communications have came out that said this is basically a dead road.
3. There are some sparse integrations in the Simplisafe app for other smart products. We use August locks and have set it up for Simplisafe to send a lock command to the doors when we arm the alarm. I can't recall off the top of my head what all is available to integrate this way.
Hope this information helps!

As you say SS can send notifications/commands to August locks but I wonder if there's any way to tap into that. I have the Honeywell smart heating and I've seen homebrew (coder projects) integrations in just the same way.
SS seems very resistant to this based on reading the forums and it's not clear why. They make all their money off the subscription so letting you bolt more stuff on top is hardly going to hurt them.
