home security reviews

The nice thing about professionally installed systems is you don't have to lift a finger; after you've placed your order a technician will come to your home, set everything up for you, and show you how the system works. It's important to note that in some areas you may have to file for a permit to have a security system installed in your home. Nearly all of the latest DIY and high end home security systems offer support for voice control via Amazon Alexa, Google Assistant, and in some cases Apple Siri, which allows you to unlock doors, change thermostat settings, open the garage, and arm or disarm your system with a spoken command to a connected device like an Amazon Echo or a Google Home speaker. Many also offer support for IFTTT If This Then That applets, which use triggers from IFTTT compatible web services and devices to create an action. For example, you can create an applet that says if a garage door is opened to turn on the floodlight. Whether you decide to go with a DIY system or opt for a professionally installed system, you'll have to pay a monthly or annual fee if you require monitoring, and in some cases, you'll be hit with a monthly fee to pay off the cost of hardware components.

Unfortunately, it's not available for this product on Android devices, so you need an iPhone or iPad to use the app. Aside from HomeKit, this product doesn't work with any other smart home systems. In our detection tests, the First Alert Onelink AC10 500 did well but wasn't able to match the Nest Protect in effectiveness.

However, its lackluster performance in our detection tests and lack of carbon monoxide detection keep it from being the best. Installing this device was frustrating and took over an hour, longer than reasonable for a smart home device, but in the end, you have a functional and convenient system – especially if you buy other smart home devices made by Asante. Unfortunately, you can’t use Asante smoke detectors with any third party smart home systems. The warranty on this smoke detector is only one year with a detector lifetime of five years, both of which are the shortest in our comparison.

The kit comes with the Guard hub, a round device with a number pad that tracks all the other sensors, but also incorporates a siren and motion sensor of its own.
