Switched Outlet Module

I have noticed that other security systems and remote home management systems allow you to control plug-in lights or potentially any device that would plug into a 120 volt electrical source. Alternatively, a device that replaces a traditional wall switch could allow the homeowner to turn on or off porch lights and overhead ceiling-mounted lights.

Personally, I can't tell you how helpful such remote control devices would be for helping to protect our vacation home. Having such devices to turn lights, radios, televisions or similar household appliances off and on would allow us to better maintain a virtual presence at the house during the long periods we are away. It would allow me to turn on or off a porch light and one or more light.

Even better it would allow me to remotely turn our Internet router off and back on again to restart it when it loses Internet service. That alone would justify the purchase of a Simplisafe system for many people, just for that capability alone!

Given the other add-ons that Simplisafe provides this seems like a highly desirable product that would provide a service that a lot of people are looking for, seemed it doesn't seem like it would be that complex or difficult do deliver such a product for customers.

This is a great idea 

I'll second this idea.  General smart home features would be great when integrated with SimpliSafe.

How about having the ability to remotely switch lights on for times you are away longer than expected?

Totally dark house screams "no one is home!"

I've been asking for the same thing for several years. I wanted to turn on an outdoor siren.

A controllable, switchable, plug-in "lamp module" is a fundamental part of any smart home security system. These types of devices are everywhere now (X10 was making powerline-controlled lamp modules as far back as the 70's). This is a device that is SORELY lacking from SimpliSafe's lineup. Hopefully their engineering/marketing teams browse this forum and will see these posts. We ALL need this module. This type of device is very inexpensive to design and manufacture. I'm not sure why SimpliSafe has yet to offer this device after all these years! 

Hello!

Any progress on this Simplisafe? It's been about there years yet. It happens that we are looking, precisely, to reset the router.

Best regards

Any response from SimpliSafe Here? Smart plug control is basic functionality that customers have been asking for for YEARS! Please make this happen Simplisafe or at least provide a reason why you won't/can't.

Any update on this from Simplisafe? Customers have been asking for this basic functionality (smart plug control) for YEARS without an explanation of why they can't or won't be adding it.

@Simplisafe, this is another flavor or IoT connectivity many, many users have asked over the years. Mine specifically: If system in alarm state, turn on my 12 lights inside and outside of my house to make it look like a Christmas tree. Not nuclear physics, this could be done quickly.  Okay, sell SS switches and outlet plugs if you must, will buy them and replace what i have....or you could revive the single digit flag you can safely pass out to current digital assistants.

Please re-consider this idea.  I have multiple timer lights in my house but power outages/time change means I have to manually reset them all.  I have been shopping for new timers and it occurs to me that tying them into my existing SS system would be so much more convenient!
