Looking for SimpliSafe users...

I've got a plugin for the SimpliSafe security system in development. I'm almost ready for users to test the system. If you have a Version3 system and would be interested, post here. Please let me know what sensors/peripherals you have.

Hello Joe,

Please let me know if you would like help testing. I am a SimpliSafe user. I have a version 3 system with keypads, siren, door sensors, glass break, motion sensor, keyfobs, indoor camera, and outdoor cameras.

Please let me know.
Thanks,
Brett

You can get the current plugin here: https://github.com/FlyingDiver/Indigo-S ... s/main.zip

This version requires that you have Simplisafe configured to use SMS to send an auth code for a new device login, like when logging into the website. Some installs send an email. The code is there to support that, but I have not been able to test it.

Open the Indigo log to look for messages from the plugin. Enter your account login info in the config dialog and save. Then use the plugin menu item to start authentication. You'll get a text message with the code. Paste or enter into dialog box and verify. Hopefully you'll get the authentication successful message.

Then create a Simplisafe system device, and then devices for your sensors, etc.

Let me know if you have devices that aren't showing up in the create device lists, or aren't showing the correct state info.

I don't have a keyfob, glass break, or siren so I'm not sure if they'll do anything.

I'm also going on vacation in a week, so don't expect too much work on it until next month.

Hi Joe,

Thanks for sharing. I finally go around to installing it today. I am receiving an error message in my log. Please see below. I tried to load am running 2022.1.2. I also tried on 2022.1.1 and received the same message. Please let me know if you need anything else.

SimpliSafe Error Error in plugin execution InitializeMain:

File "plugin.py", line 11, in <module>

Stopping plugin "SimpliSafe 2022.0.0" (pid 2964)

Thank you,
Brett

Joe,

Thanks for working on this! I was excited when Indigo adopted python3 that it was finally possible to use the Simplisafe python library! I haven't had the time to write up a plugin, I'm glad someone was able to!

I initially had the same issue as Brett, but I solved that by running this command in the Terminal:

Code: Select all

pip3 install aiofiles

Then I got an error about the simplipy library, which can be resolved by following the directions here: https://simplisafe-python.readthedocs.i ... stallation
I then copied the simplipy directory into Python3-includes.

I thought I was almost there, but then got an error:

Code: Select all

type: No module named 'backoff'

I don't have time today to keep playing with this, but I'll try to see if I can make progress later.

Not sure if the Simplisafe plugin is still in progress, but I'm a Simplisafe customer and have returned to Indigo after a short stint with Home Assistant where I was able to implement the Simplisafe module following the manual authentication process.

I've tried to test the version from github and was able to generate the auth code and code verifier, but am stuck with this error:

No module named 'simplipy.api'

If you're still looking for a tester, I can be your huckleberry.

Never made it to release status, so I didn't document it. You can fix that error using:

Code: Select all

pip3 install simplisafe-python


I pretty much stopped development of the plugin when SimpliSafe blocked the SMS code method of authentication. I had very little success doing the "manual" method of authentication, and did not think it was supportable for Indigo.

Ah... now that I can see the Authenticate popup, I see haw you've implemented it. The Home Assistant module had you jump through the hoops of getting an auth code manually following the simplisafe-python instructions.

If you start working on this again, I'm happy to help.

Yeah, I just can't see supporting that authentication method. Which is why I never released the plugin.
