Are you interested in a security service integrated with ST?

What do you consider to be inexpensive?

Inexpensive is relative to:
(a) the minimum price of competition that is also insurance discounted qualified
(b) the amount of home insurance discount – If the service literally pays for itself, then this is a no-brainer.
(c) a menu of a la carte options with incremental and package pricing (e.g., a security video DVR service – but that could be in direct competition with SmartThings’s video packages).
(d) on-demand monitoring; eg, only when on vacation, child home sick from school, guests, contractors, etc… Sentri plans to offer this… Buried in their materials somewhere; it was in an open live presentation I attended.

Are you concerned primarily with the speed of disarming when you get home?

A simple Multi-Button Remote (Aeon 4-Button Minimote $25) can be implemented as a security disarming device – self promotion of my Beta code:

Use Buttons As PIN Input ("Security Keypad") e.g., Aeon Aeotec Minimote, ZWN-SC7 Enerwave 7 Button; trigger to Routines, lock/unlock, arm/disarm, mode, lights

This is a pre-release BETA: Testing and feedback is highly encouraged. [image] [image] Description Use Buttons As PIN Input Assign a multi-button controller (e.g., Aeon Labs Minimote) to be a security ‘PIN code’ input pad, which triggers a switch, lock, mode, or Hello Home action.
