Please provide feedback on the automations and integrations you have been able to do using this solution.

I'll give a couple to get us going:

1. Turn on night mode when we go to bed from my apple watch and back off from my watch when I wake up.

Add ComfortAlarm Mode Night switch to the Good Night Routine
Add ComfortAlarm Mode Off switch to the Good Morning Routine
Add the SmartThings App to Apple Watch

2. Set the alarm when the last person leaves the house.

This can be achieved in a variety of way, i personally use Life360 as it allows other members of my family who don't have the SmartThings app on their phone report their location.

Install Life360 app on all the family members devices you wish to use
Create an IFTTT account and add links to Life360 and SmartThings
Create a routine to set ComfortAlarm Mode Away when the last person leaves the house
Create a routine to see ComfortAlarm Mode Off when the first person arrives at the house
For extra credit you can send notifications from IFTTT to let you know the alarm is being set or disarmed

3. Get a notification when the alarm is activated.

SmartThings can send a notification when the state of devices changes, the example below applied to the alarm firing but notifications can be assigned to a wide variety of devices and states.

Install CoRE as per these instructions http://thingsthataresmart.wiki/index.php?title=CoRE
Create a Piston in the SmartThings app: Automation -> SmartApps -> CoRE -> Add a CoRE piston

Piston Mode = Basic
If ->

Capability = Alarm
Alarm List = Comfort Alarm
Comparison = is one of
Value = strobe, siren, both
