Whether the SimpliSafe system is right for you depends on if you want just a security system or if you’re interested in laying the foundation for a truly connected home. There’s nothing to stop you from installing smart lighting, a programmable thermostat, or any other connected-home components alongside SimpliSafe, but you’ll need to manage them independently of your security system.

[The] SimpliSafe system is not without its faults. For instance, although the system is a connected system, it does not allow you to connect to other non-SimpliSafe products. So it will not work with any other ‘smart’ products that you might have. Likewise it does lack the ability to record any video.
