Great little home alarm system! Really pleased with how easy it was to set up overall, and felt it was quite user-friendly and intuitive. One thing I would have liked to have seen in the Yale instructions was a note that the bell ringer itself is not treated as a device that needs to be added to the system. This led to quite a lot of confusion and frustration over the fact that it wasn't being recognised by the app. We got there in the end, though. I would also have liked the PIRs to have been designed to swivel so you could position them better for each custom room. However, I think perhaps they have such a wide detection range that there may be no need to swivel; that would just have been my preference.

There was a good range of devices available to add-on to this system, and it was easy to pair everything up. Decent price for the system, although slightly more expensive than some of the new companies offering similar devices, such as ring.

Super fast delivery from safe.co.uk, and a much better price for buying in bulk than you would get buying direct from Yale. Very impressed with this company.

This is a great product. I have upgraded my 20 year old solution to this one from Yale after doing a fair bit of research. Found this to be very easy to install and configure, plus the ability to easily add sensors and fobs is great. The app is great to use and gives me easy visibility of alarm status whilst on the move. Also it is great to see what windows or doors are open before leaving the house, saves us marching all over the house to check. Also it gives good warning on battery status and tamper alert.

The product is relatively good quality; the modular battery-operated design makes it really simple to connect and the distance these modules connect is very impressive. I have the hub at the back of my garden office 40 meters from the house and the door sensor on my front door of the house the furthest away I could put any module and it works flawlessly!

for the bad; the fire sensor includes a PIR for movement, so actually the PIR is technically redundant with the fire sensor in the same room. However, I had to disable the Movement sensor on the fire alarm because it was constantly triggering false alarms (the PIR was not triggering movement but the fire sensor was).

A nice touch is the fire alarm shows the ambient room temperature so again, in my garden office which is running various computer equipment gets very hot... it's handy to be able to keep an eye on the temps when it's hot outside so I can shut down my machine when not in use to prevent overheating or open a window/turn on a fan to keep it cool if it's idly processing data.

Another downside is no partitioning of the modules apart from Home or Away mode. This allows you some flexibility with partially disabling the system or delaying the alarm in one mode and having everything fully armed in another. For me, in any mode, the Office is fully armed but the front door sensor if off. In fully armed mode the front door sensor is armed also. This creates a zoned effect where my office is armed when I'm not using it and everything is armed when I'm away from the house. of course, I can't arm the House when I'm in the office which would be a nice bonus but not required for my Use Case.

In summary, I'd buy it again and intend to expand the modules further.

The system components were easy to install using basic DIY skills (drill in to wall and use the plugs and screws provided to fit), and as as they come 'pre-synced' the setup was very easy and quick. I was able to install the external siren near a first floor window, to enable easier battery when required, whilst keeping out of reach. All items have built in tamper protection for added security.

The pet PIR sensors work well and have yet to be triggered by our animals. The test feature gives you peace of mind that they provide good coverage, with the added option of user controlled comfort light to indicate if item working (my preference is to have this turned off).

Highly recommended for build quality, appearance / aesthetics along with confidence in the security it provides and its reliability (no false alarms to-date) and no signal dropout.

This is exactly what you would get from a monitored system like ADT but a fraction of the price and honestly the subscription fee for a monitored system hardly seems justified when all they are doing is performing the same work the app does for this system.

The app is useable and functional but not much more. I would like to see a single app that integrate all the Yale products currently I have a separate app for my yale cameras which is annoying.

Also you don’t get a notification from your smoke alarm. So it acts like any other standare smoke alarm but won’t notify you when you’re out of the house.

Really easy to set up. Can just stick the sensors, although i screwed them in. Already pre-linked together and if you but extra sensors they’re really easy to add to the system.

Easy to arm and disarm and as yet after having it for a few weeks haven’t had any false alarms or poor connection issues and all the sensors have full signal strength.

The only issue we’ve had at the minute is with using the keypad to arm or disarm as it seams to be either intermittent in its success or just doesn’t work, which isn’t too much of an issue for us as we were always looking to use the app but would’ve been a good backup just in case. Plus there’s no touch key fobs for this system only the big fobs with the buttons which don’t look as nice and take up more room on my keys.
