HomeKit Secure Video Integration
I just got my SimpliSafe System a couple of weeks ago and so far I really like it. The main thing it's missing, which I bought in anticipation of, is Apple HomeKit integration. Especially now that HomeKit Secure Video is rolling out with iOS 13, having this feature with SimpliSafe would be amazing. I saw a video from last year from the CEO saying that HomeKit was going to be rolled out, but I haven't seen anything else about it.
Does anyone know what the status of HomeKit is?

Sure homekit was coming.
This is now the 3rd time I have Been burned on companies saying they will have homekit and then changing their minds. I sold my SS and now I am buying the Arlo Ultra. But... I will wait for Homekit.
The Pro 1 & 2 Systems got it last month... they say Pro 3 & Ultra are coming by Nov 15. They say they have already applied for the security code from Apple and it was separate from the Pro and Pro 2 because it is a different base station.
So.... I'm still without home security. Completely disappointed with SS and the fact they lied to all of us. If they weren't sure-they should have kept quiet.

Homebridge plugin for the SimpliSafe 3 security system.
Supercharge your SimpliSafe system and integrate with HomeKit the right way! This plugin supports:
* Real time event streaming: get immediate notifications anytime the alarm is armed / disarmed / triggered.
* Sensors: always be on top of your home with immediate access to the sensor status. Create smart automations directly from the Home app (e.g. when the front door is opened, turn the lights on).
* Cameras: view your SimpliCams directly from the Home app, receive doorbell notifications and motion snapshots.
* Battery monitoring: the Home app will notify you if the battery level of one of your sensors is low.
Check out...
HOOBS.org
The only issue is that the SimpliSafe camera doesn't support HomeKit's security features. But there are HomeKit cameras from other vendors that do, you should be able to use a SimpliSafe sensor event to trigger a recording on these.
Plus you can use any HomeKit door bell or lock so you are not locked into the SimpliSafe eco-system.
The HOOBS plugins are free, I was even able to add my car's web app's features into HomeKit!
