How can we improve?

Simplisafe is looking into improving the monitoring and disptach process on their own, and if you wish to read more about their RapidSOS alliance efforts, that would be a good place to start. I posted a blurb on it last week with a link to the news article. Just do a Google site search and you will find it.
As far as other things, like integration aspects, God speed and post your advancements here so we can all benefit from them. (Gee, I might be able to have my house lights go on yet with an alarm condition!)
Keep us posted on your efforts.

Since you posted in this section, I'm assuming that you don't yet have a SimpliSafe system. You might want to know that our system is really a 'closed' one, where the communication between SimpliSafe components is unique to our company. So we can keep the system more tightly locked and secure.
However, we don't offer as much (official) interoperability with equipment from other companies. With Interactive Monitoring, we currently enable sharing of info and arming control over voice command through Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant for example, but that's as far as it goes. Our strategy is geared closer towards offering everything that a typical user would need for a complete system, by continually adding more of our own sensors and components.

There may be one or two I would need to install that would have a bit more distance between them and the router, which is why I'm interested in POE style cameras. Not opposed to WiFi in areas where it would work ok, of course.

Yes, both of our current camera offerings (the SimpliCam Indoor Camera and the Video Doorbell Pro) are WiFi-only. We don't have any wired options available right now, unfortunately.

For sure! And there's value in not putting all your eggs in the same basket, as the saying goes. We're just happy to help however we can.
But if you do end up going with us, our forumers would be eager to hear about your setup and what solutions you come up with!
