SimpliSafe Alarm Integration (cloud to cloud)

[Lyapunov]

I am using the $15 plan but did a quick hack to use the SimplySafe fob for remote access.

Two relays are used to jump the buttons (Away and Off) on the fob, and the relays are controlled by NodeMCU by following

Raspberry Pi with PHP (or Arduino/ESP8266/NodeMCU) to GPIO to Relay to Gate/Garage Trigger

Hi all, I’m pretty excited to be able to bring this project. It ties together and old Raspberry Pi running latest version of Raspbian with HTTPD and a PHP script. The PHP code runs the gpio command in order to trigger pin 4 of the RPi for a second then turns it off. This triggers a simple 5v relay which in-turn shorts out my gate. The obvious difference of what I’m sharing here is the fact that I wrote a SmartThings Device Handler which uses a “hubaction” which means it can be triggered from a WAN connection w/o having to put your device out on the web with a public IP. The hub performs a local action on a local IP. The project is essentially a generic HTTP Device Handler for SmartThings. The goal was to keep it as small/simple as possible. So it consists only of a single PHP script and …

Then the fob can be controlled by HTTP POST request. One way to do that in Smartthings is to use the HTTP button:

[OBSOLETE] Virtual HTTP Switch/Button Creator

As I need to create multiple virtual switch manually for my DIY universal IR project & link them to SmartThings & Echo. I decided to follow the earlier examples below & come out with a version of HTTP Switch Creator. tguerena and surge919 - URI Switch Eric Roberts (baldeagle072) - Virtual switch creator JZ - TVDevice You need to install both device handler & smart app. Once install, you can create virtual http switch/button on the fly HTTP Button handler (v1.1 - corrected the button behavior and more like momentary switch): HTTP Button Creator:

Then I can use a single virtual button to arm/disarm SimpliSafe. I integrated it to my daily routines (Goodbye, I’m Back, Good Morning, Good Night), and use the smart app in this post to check the status(thanks @tobycth3). I’ve tested it for more than one week, and it works great.
