Does the SimpliSafe Base Station work with HomeKit, Alexa, and Google Home?

The SimpliSafe Base Station is the hub of the system: sensors and cameras send it a signal, and it sounds the siren and notifies the owner.

It suits Google Home, Alexa and Home Assistant users through an integration (the maker's hub). It does not support HomeKit.
