By adding virtual zones, we can tie these virtual zones to other accessories in HomeKit which in-turn can trigger the alarm if their state changes in a specific way. This also overcomes the issue of native HomeKit devices not being able to trigger an alarm system directly (as of this ticket's creation).
Overall, this augments an entire home's security setup and allows for some pretty unique scenarios, including wireless sensors, and programmatic home security automations with something like NodeRED.
