Better integration with smart home hubs
There's a lack of integration of SS system with Google and Amazon smart home hubs.
There's an absolute minimum integration currently to arm the system, but more helpful/meaningful capabilities will be to view and manage cameras from Google or Alexa hubs like you can on dedicated simplisafe app.
I get that SS is part of CSA but that doesn't mean much if SS decides to keep going their own way and restrict management of
its devices with larger smart home industry accepted architecture (e.g. thread/matter).
I can't imagine any downside of adding these flexibilities (e.g. to view and manage cameras from smart home hubs). Tight integration of SS system to smart home hubs (like between Google nest cam and Google hub) will provide much needed capability to the consumers.

@Dantheman777 This has been discussed (and the horse beaten to death) for years. Do a search and you will find thread upon thread of asks and positions on this topic. The plus side is that it makes the SS ecosystem more secure. I, and many others, are good on that aspect, but will pay $$ for a SS hub or some solution to provide even one way connection to our IoT devices, in my case nine plug/switch that control lights inside and outside of my house. In an alarm event, I want the entire house and property lit up like a Chrsitmas Tree. Hey SS, how about a surprise holiday gift and not a lump of coal? HO HO HO!!!
