This project is a Homebridge pluging that allows you to control your SimpliSafe alarm system with the iOS 10 Home app as well as through Siri. This project uses the SimpliSafe node.js wrapper made by @searls. To use this, you must have a working Homebridge server running in your network. I am using a Raspberry Pi to great success.
- The "night" toggle in the iOS 10 Home App UI sets the alarm state to "home" in SimpliSafe. This is due to SimpliSafe not having a dedicated "night" mode.
- Usage of this plugin requires the extra $10/month online monitoring plan, since that enables the required API endpoints to control the alarm remotely.
npm install -g homebridge-simplisafe-security-system
