Matter Smart Home Integration

Will Simplisafe update products to be matter compatible? Matter Home Automation Protocol.  It would make great sense to do it and end the issues with HomeKit and other integrations.

I would really (really) love to see HomeKit + Matter integration. Especially having access to video feeds in the home app. Please prioritize this!

How is this still not a thing? I can't connect to Smartthings and even though the SimpliSafe website says it is compatible with Alexa, I can't view any of my cameras on my echo show(s) not see them as a brand to add a device manually.

@hvarnell​ Samsung's SmartThings platform combines Z-Wave and Zigbee standards, and both use a specific wireless communication that is totally different from SimpliSafe. So even if we did offer integration, our current hardware can never work in the same way.

At this time, we are still exploring interoperability with the greater Matter standard, but we currently have no info on how that will take shape. We'll keep you updated here when we can.

As for the ability to view camera feeds on smart screens, we do have a separate request for that. But the short story is that it is SimpliSafe's policy to keep video locked down and away from third parties, so the feature request is currently not in development.

Is there any discussion of whether this will still be the case with SS4 / the new matter enabled systems? I hope everyone at SimpliSafe understands that lack of interoperability w/ other systems is a HUGE issue for MANY of us. I also hope y'all understand that many of us are waiting to see if this changes with the next generation and whether it does or not will (not may, will) determine whether many of us stay with SS or not.

Just wanted to add my voice to the choir for Homekit integration. This is a big value add for me.
