I bought this system hoping that it would give me a peace of mind when I was out, and it does! My road is a beautiful street and there are no issues, but the surrounding streets in town are horrible. If you are contemplating if you should get this, you should. It was also very simple to set up.

It's doing it's job and was super easy to set up.

I have been happy with this purchase as it gives additional layer of security to your house and peace of mind. Packaging is amazing and every step is explained with easy set up and installation. The product has a great quality design and looks perfect in the house. The white color mixes with the color of windows and it is not visible. Highly recommend it!

Easy setup, fine user control, extremely thoughtful design!I was using smartthings with a mix of smartthings, wink, and other z wave products for my alarm.This alarm is better in my opinion than anything you can buy professionally or diy.DesignFirst off, everything just looks nice and clean. The sensors are slightly wider and taller than my old sensors, but are way thinner which makes them stick out less. I really the design language of everything for the 2nd generation products.Setup is really fast and easy. I appreciate this because z wave can be super duper finicky and hard/time consuming to setup. The thoughtfulness of design of everything is just bar none better than anything else. For example, starting with the base station, backup battery, cellular free, wifi and ethernet options, and cable management! Both the base station and keypads have cable management which gives options in setup to really make everything look nice! The keypad also can be operated wired or by rechargeable battery which again, awesome. On top of that, the base station comes with a great wall mounting solution that can be used permanent or semi permanent with the charging cable and not have to go through walls. The cable even has a notch to make it easier to pull out!The sensors are amazing as well. Installation is easy with double sided tape and also the option to hard mount with screws. The detection distance is very good which helps for non aligned installations due to door trim and such. What I really appreciate is they use CR2032 batteries which I can buy almost anywhere. Too much of my other z wave equipment used rare batteries that were not stocked by walmart/target/etc. Also the batteries are easy to change and that is also something that really matters down the line.Control and IntegrationThe amount of control has been just amazing as well. There are still improvements to be made, however with Ring they have been constantly improving and i feel like that is a huge benefit to this alarm in that the software will keep maturing.I use multiple ring outdoor and indoor cameras with a doorbell pro, and schlage smart deadbolts. Together with this alarm, I have been very satisfied with how well you can sync everything up. First off my deadbolts synced up on first try which did not ever happen with smartthings. It is truly wonderful to be able to both arm and disarm my alarm from my deadbolt TouchPad. The ability to set one deadbolt to arm and disarm the ALARM with codes while the 2nd deadbolt doesn't is great. The amount of user control is great, but what makes this really stand out is I don't have to look online for custom schedulers or run iftt to get things to work how they should. You can easily make any single door sensor alert on open or close with a few different sounds. They can be separately configured or be turned all off/on based on alarm mode which is again great.I already had Ring premium or whatever it is called due to my doorbell and multiple cameras, so this cost me no more than I was already paying. Paying $100 a year for camera and alarm service with cloud storage is a steal. Please don't ever change that.Overall this has been everything I could have asked for and more. By far the easiest install. What was surprising was how well everything is designed and how well you can control everything to your liking.I am hoping that my door sensors do not have the issues down the line that I had with other zwave devices. On the plus side, replacing a sensor is again just such a great design. You can just replace the sensor without having to undo any tape or screws due to the design of the sensor mount. Please, whoever designed these, give them a raise!

Likes:- installation is very easy, instructions are clear- tech support is great. I had one issue and they walked me through it right away.- I use a ChimePro for the doorbell. Works well, announces visitors.- Alexa integration works fine.- the indoor door sensors, motion detectors and keypads all work fine.- the up-front cost may seem high, but the payback vs my old subscription alarm system still seems good, plus I get much more value from the cameras and doorbell.Dislikes: none that are really important, but here goes- the range extenders work, but are kind of weak so I get some “weak connection” warnings with indoor devices that are far from the base station. But they work well enough to run the system.- the outdoor spotlight cam is a little slow to light up at night when motion happens.- the ring pro doorbell didn’t work with my old wiring. I run it on battery. No big deal.- I decided to try the path lights + bridge, but it hasn’t arrived yet (some delays) so I can’t review it.Caveats:- I had to upgrade my WiFi to a mesh network (I went with Amazon/eero but google nest probably would have been just as good). I needed to do this anyway, since I have a sprawling house with thick walls and the WiFi was weak in some areas. If your WiFi has dead spots, prepare to upgrade it.- Be sure to read and follow the simple instructions when you install the different devices. If you do things out of order, you might need to do a hard reset of the device before it will work (I did this once, everything went sideways on me, but I figured it out by myself). Not a huge deal, but it’s definitely quicker to do it right the first time.
