Looks great. The installation of the base unit, including the assembly of the individual elements and sensors took about 45 minutes. Afterwards I added the siren. Works surprisingly well and reliable. I tested all sensors. All pushnachrichten came to my phone and also the siren was activated as set. As I said, I am surprised what this system can do! Only the initial syncronisation did not work on my phone right away. Over the web within 2 minutes done. Absolute recommendation on my part!!! P.S. The camera is also already available.

The app is still expandable, which is also being done continuously, the sensors seem to be good. Easy installation, very good price-performance ratio.

Looks really very nice and more than easy to install.
However, the app is "too simple" for me. Although there is a log when what happens but no real push information ... Maybe something still needs to be set.Interesting idea - rather poorly executed
I find the idea behind the system very interesting (apart from the fact that it only works as long as electricity and internet are available). Unfortunately, however, the execution is sometimes almost frighteningly flawed.
The shortcomings are first and foremost in the poorly made and thought-out software, but secondly also in the hardware, which is not really reliable.
Software:
Central to this system is, of course, telling it whether you are at home or not. Actually, one would expect automatic detection (e.g. by whether the smartphone is connected to the home WLAN or not) - but such detection does not exist. So you have to do it manually in the app, which is incomprehensibly only possible in a submenu instead of on the main screen of the app. (At this point, at the latest, one wonders for the first time whether the developers of the system are sane).
Unfortunately, that's not all: the presence/absence profiles also don't do what they are supposed to (according to the description). For example, no alarm is triggered in "Out of home mode" when motion is detected. Absurd!
Then there is the fact that various settings are "coupled" so that they also change in the other profiles when they are changed in one profile. The sense of having several profiles (and of the whole system itself) becomes mysterious. So much only for the most glaring shortcomings. There are others.
Hardware:
Here, the "motion" sensor in particular stands out somewhat. Its detection range seems to be somehow not constant, so that movements in the same place are sometimes detected, sometimes not. On the whole, however, it works. (Except that it completely disappeared just a few hours after initial start-up and had to be re-registered with the system).
Addendum: On the second day of operation, the door sensor also went off. This does not inspire confidence!Pro

It's a super article! Everything is simple and quick to set up. Yes, the operator could offer a few more options for the app.
