What it is and what it does
simplisafe-python is an async Python client for the unofficial SimpliSafe security system API. It allows you to query your system's state, read sensor data, and issue control commands from Python code using asyncio. The package wraps HTTP calls with a Pythonic interface, handling authentication and data validation through its dependencies.
The library is built on aiohttp for async HTTP, websockets for real-time updates, and backoff for retry logic. It's maintained actively and supports modern Python versions (3.10–3.14). Use it when you want to integrate SimpliSafe monitoring or control into a larger home automation system, a monitoring dashboard, or a custom alerting workflow.
Use it for
- Integrate SimpliSafe system state into a home automation hub or dashboard that polls multiple devices.
- Trigger automated actions (e.g., arm the system, log events) based on external conditions or schedules.
- Build a custom monitoring or alerting service that reacts to sensor data from SimpliSafe.
- Query sensor readings to feed into analytics or logging systems.
- Control SimpliSafe from a voice assistant or custom mobile app backend.
