The SimpliSafe system works with three main smart home devices: Unfortunately, you can’t currently use Alexa or Google to disarm your security system or view your SimpliSafe camera livestream. But you can integrate SimpliSafe into other routines you set up with Alexa or Google. It’s not as smooth of an experience as it would be if you had a system that could work automatically with Alexa or Google, but it’s still an easier way to accomplish multiple actions at once than it would be to say each one with voice commands or open each device’s app to control it. There are three August smart lock models that work with SimpliSafe:
August Wi-Fi Smart Lock August Smart Lock Pro August Smart Lock
Like August smart locks, you can also set the SimpliSafe Smart Lock to lock and unlock your doors in unison with arming and disarming your security system. The big downside to using the SimpliSafe Smart Lock over August models is that the SimpliSafe lock doesn’t work directly with Alexa and Google. You can’t unlock your doors using your voice, whereas August locks work with both Alexa and Google, and you can lock and unlock them with a voice command. If you’re a smart home devotee and you want all your stuff to work together, then SimpliSafe probably isn’t the best option for you. We recommend smart home whiz Abode, or Samsung SmartThings home security devices.
