Reading through a few threads, thank you for your contributions, very helpful.
I just can't fully determine if I can use the simplisafe keypad in HE in silo, without the SimpliSafe hub?
Others have also mentioned using two sensors on doors, I am hoping to use Phillip Hue motion sensors with an Aeotec siren, and am hoping HSE is agnostic in this way.
Can someone kindly advise if I am going in the wrong direction here?
Either looking at the Ring Keypad, or the Simplisafe - I have seen the Ring keypad IS compatible but the Simplisafe one is sexier (as much as technological inanimate objects can be)...
Thank you for this device handler. Im trying to determine if there is a way to see individual sensors (such as contacts). I noticed that when I sync'd this device with HomeBridge it did see some sensors (only 1 of each type) and they were oddly all in triggered (wet, open, motion) status when they arent
An alternative solution might be using this HB plugin:
and Node-RED with these "node-red-contrib-homebridge-automation" and "node-red-contrib-hubitat" nodes.
The idea would be to either use NR for your rules (like I do) or as an intermediary between HB & HE.. either way might give you some additional flexibility.
The "Front Door" box is an HB device - my Ring Doorbell "Button" and the "Living Room Door Chime" box is an old Aeotec Siren on my HE. The middle box just prevents the doorbell from ringing off hours.
@erktrek Thanks! I had also looked at the HB/Simplisafe Bridge. It actually does what I'd like minus that I dont want to be able arm/disarm simplisafe from this. I tried to. do the serial exclude, but it still appears.
NodeRed keeps appearing for ideas of things I want to do. Its just starting to feel overly cobbled together and a lot of moving parts .. but I might need to get there
I prefer NR because it simplifies and centralizes a lot of things. Also reduces overhead on my 3 HE production hubs. There are a lot of members here on these forums who use NR.
You already have HB running and if it's not in docker you could easily install NR as well..
Also there are other possibilities including Home Assistant and MQTT.. but they require a certain level of technical commitment.
