Simplisafe has no plans on joining Matter or Homekit

I will be switching to ADT self-setup once my current lease ends. You guys need to figure out your software or else you're going to lose customers as the future gets nearer.

@strachanhliam sorry Simplisafe is not for  you but recommend you do not go with ADT. Worst ever.

@strachanhliam SimpliSafe is a member of the CSA—the organization that is currently creating Matter—so we can keep an eye on the development of the Matter standard and take part in the conversation. We continue to explore the possibility of integrating with Matter, and if and when that happens we'll be sure to update the Community.

@emily_s​ I just want the ability to arm/disarm in my Apple Home scenes. When I tell Siri "goodnight" I want it to set the alarm along with setting my lights and locking the doors.

I’m ditching SimpliSafe after many years. With smarthomes becoming more normal than niche, the idea of a closed system is simpli out of touch.

I would really like to see support for Matter. I switched out my SimpliSafe doorbell for a Matter supporting one. I would love to be able to use Apple Key to disarm my system. It is convenience features like this that you are missing. Your lack of support is why I bought a different brand of smart door lock.

I do understand that you are concerned about the security of your ecosystem. But, I also understand that ease of use is important to many of your users. You really need to find a balance.

LET'S GO, SIMPLISAFE!!!

Using simplisafe since about 2004 for home and business. Lately not using your doorbells or cameras due to lack of integration into the IoE ecosystem and likely as I, and everyone else, move to open systems supporting matter, the less relevance your system and service bring to consumers. 

Also hardwire. Add PoE to your doorbells and cameras.
