My new house is nearing completion, and for a while after I move I’ll have two houses monitored on the same SimpliSafe account. I only care about Home Assistant collecting data from one of them (the one I’m living in). Does the SimpliSafe alarm_control_panel platform support more than one monitored system, and or have a way of specifying which one it’s getting system status from?
I am having a hard time remembering how this library functions. I took a quick look at the code and I see this self.location = list(locations)[0] that makes me think it is only grabbing the first locations data. I’ll look into this further.

Can you do me a favor?
Can you run this https://github.com/w1ll1am23/simplisafe-python/blob/dev/simplisafe.py with the --debug flag and provide me with the Location Response: output?
code:
python3 simplisafe.py --username your_simplisafe_email --password your_simplisafe_password --debug
That should result in a lot of output, but the specific thing I am looking for is this, expect with two locations I am assuming.
{"num_locations":1,"locations":{"123456":{"street1":"1234 Street ","street2":"","city":"Someplace","state":"New York","postal_code":"12345","s_status":"20","system_state":"Off"}}}
Cleanup the output first of course to remove any identifying information. Just trying to figure out how they are sending two location so I code it correctly.
Will do, but it will be a while before I can. I’m probably 3 or 4 weeks until I have the second system online, when I move appliances in. If I put it in right now, the motion sensors would get painted over, and I’d have false alarms on the tradesmen showing up on their quite flexible schedules. 
No problem, thanks.
PR opened https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant/pull/6 I made my best guess on how the response would come back so this might work with multiple locations might not. If not, we can get it figured out and added later.
Hello, I just tested it and worked as expected. Would nice to have the attrs displayed on the card too, but it will be very helpful for automation.
Thank you for your hard work on this.
I thought about that, but not sure how that would work. If could always be added using the new custom state card functionality added in 0.38
OK, house got finished, both systems set up, we got moved in, knocked out higher priority issues, and I moved Home Assistant over to the new house, updated and had some time set aside to test - only to find this was not only working along with the temperature sensor already rolled out into production.
Awesome! Thanks!
Sweet! Glad it worked.
Hello. Sorry to respond to this months-old thread, but how did you resolve the issue of having more than one Simplisafe monitored sites on the same account. I have two sites in my Simplisafe account. How do I tell Home Assistant which one to pull information on?
Thank you.
I can’t say for sure since it was awhile ago that I made changes to support this, but I believe it should automatically pull from all available locations. Is that not what you are seeing?
I have both alarm_control_panel.security and alarm_control_panel.security_2 showing up as entities. Security_2 is the second system on my Simplisafe account.
Hello spacecoastghost,I am new to HA and I too have two SimpliSafe locations under one account. I see that you got it working can you assist me. I’m not sure where in the configuration.yaml to put what you have in yours
alarm_control_panel.security and alarm_control_panel.security_2
Thanks in adavnce
Nothing should need added to your config. Just add the SimpliSafe alarm component and restart. Both should be discovered.
alarm_control_panel:
- platform: simplisafe
username: YOUR_USERNAME
password: YOUR_PASSWORD
The first time I tried it only one location showed up, later I tried it again and the both location showed up, not sure why it did not the first time. Thank you so very much.
My next project it to use Amazon Echo to Arm/Disarm
hello w1l1am23,
My Simplisafe was working perfectly since Nov 2017. I have two locations under the same account. To test I had Simplisafe downgrade one of the locations to basic monitoring instead of their interactive plan to see if Home Assistant would still work with it. It did not, and so i re-upgraded the account back to where it was.
Now the problem is HA no longer sees both alarm_control_panel only the one that was not downgraded. I’ve reboot, logout and logged in but I cant get HA to see it. Both panels are working using Simplisafe App or their website.
I’m running the latest version of Hassio on a Raspberry Pi 3 B. Please help.
