Here’s what integration does:
- When SimpliSafe state changes (home/away/off), STM and Mode change to match, any ST actions can be triggered as a result
- When SHM state changes, SimpliSafe gets armed/disarmed to match SHM state
- SimpliSafe state (Off/Home/Away) can be controlled from ST, each state is mapped to a virtual momentary button and works as expected
- IFTTT can control SimpliSafe as a result, since it’s just a virtual device in ST now
