SimpliSafe Camera via Alexa
Is there a way to add the SimpliSafe camera to your device list in Alexa. I've enabled the "skill' and can use Alexa to arm the system. But I cannot add the camera as a device so I can view the camera(s) on my Alexa enabled TV or Echo Show.

Hello,
At this time, all of our cameras are accessible through the SimpliSafe app only.

This would be a nice feature to have. It should be one of the top issues for the engineers.

I would just love to have my alexa alert motion detected at the front door or something like that, I have a few arlos as well and they do it.

I really want this integration.
Me aside, Alarm system users in general probably have an Alexa or nest in the kitchen and they would like to see who is at the door while in the kitchen.

Looks like SS doesn’t want to invest on this and turn deaf ears.. this discussion has been for years and no feature in the roadmap. That kinda sucks and gives me another reason to switch to some other system. Has anyone tried setting voice notifications for their SS door bell? I couldn’t find reliable source for doing that. It sucks to be near phone to see who is at the door or if someone is at the door..

SimpliSafe totally (and likely deliberately) misleads customers on this point. I did a LOT of research, and I did not see any warning that SimpliSafe cannot be integrated with an Echo Show 8. So, no local video saving, no using the Show 8 to monitor via the indoor Simplisafe Cam, and all the "happy PR" about working with Alexa is just that: PR BS. Plus higher charges for monitoring. So, do I return the SimpliSafe and switch to Ring, or just wait for Amazon to gobble up SimpliSafe like it has with Ring? C'mon folks!

Well.......I thought Simplisafe was top of the line. I see I was fooled. I have a new SS system in two houses. I guess I should have researched it a little better. I should have gone with Ring in the first place! Ring works beautifully with Amazon Alexa....That's where I'm headed, I'm outa here!
