Alexa SimpliSafe Home Control skill

Hopefully they named the skill "SimpliSafe Home Control' for a reason and will create real integration with Alexa. Having Alexa know the SimpliSafe devices, groups, scenes (Home, Away, Secret Alerts, Security Alarm, and Environment Alarm) plus supporting Alexa routines is mandatory. To stand out from the Home Security crowd and for real SimpliSafe Home Control, send Alexa commands when a scene (mode or Alarm) is triggered via the Alexa SimpliSafe Skill.

For example if in the SimpliSafe App there were 6 default actionable Scenes; Off, Home, Away, Secret Alerts, Security Alarm, and Environment Alarm. Each scene could allow 5 Alexa Commands be manually typed. For the Scene "Security Alarm' I could type the Smart Light command "Alexa, Set all lights Red' and the Smart Lock command "Alexa, Lock all doors.' For the scene Environment Alarm (Fire, CO2, water) I could type the Smart Light command "Alexa, Set all lights Green' and "Alexa, Set Thermostat to off.'  Each manually entered command could have a test button to check for typos or other error's before saving the SimpliSafe setting. It's so simple, if an Alarm is triggered send the command I typed to Alexa for execution. Each manually type command could have an Instant Trigger check box or delay timer. So if I turn off SimpliSafe with my key fob, Simplisafe could send Alexa the command "turn on front hall light' as an Instant trigger and "Alexa, I'm Home' 30 seconds later to give me time to get in the door to hear her response. Now that's SimpliSafe Home Control.

There is no need to code "works with...' for every possible Smart Home device, simply allow the user to type a command, test it from the SimpliSafe app, and even click an acknowledgment box that the functionality is working as I expected before saving the configuration. A simple basic rule applies, any command I type must work verbally with Alexa.
