I’ve found this super useful after replacing my alarm with SimpliSafe this week. Nice job on building a great device type!!
I’ve put a smartapp together to to be able to change my simplisafe alarm state based on the smartthings mode. It works well. I have three instances of the app for each simplisafe state. Hopefully others find this useful:

), so can’t validate anything. As for the 2 repos looking different, this is due to me only have one file instead of many. If I were to add more, it would look much different.
