I decided on this system after considering this, Tiwee (budget system with great reviews, but no app or push capabilities) and Veho Cave (mid price solution but no siren).It's more than I wanted to spend and I was slightly put off by the middling Amazon reviews, but felt it was worth the investment given the extra features and prominence of the brand in the smart home field.Setup was a breeze. The app guides you through, although the translations from French (Somfy is a French company) to English could be improved.I had the whole system up and running with the various sensors in the kit within 20 mins.The sensors seem to be good quality and intuitive with a calibration process that determines whether a door/window has been opened or someone has entered a detection area.Overall I am happy with the system and it has worked reliably in the week I have had it installed.It would be good if it would also support third party cameras, but I can understand the desire for brands to keep you within one ecosystem (although it does say it is compatible with Nest).The arming and disarming process is self explanatory, either through the app or the fobs. As a previous reviewer mentioned, the battery covers on the fobs are a bit flimsy so probably need a bit of tape.The siren is extremely loud and I would imagine would be enough to deter a would be intruder.Everything (except the hub) are battery powered, which I think is a good thing in case there is any interference with your electricity (although that would also take down your WiFi so you wouldn't get a notification?).Overall, impressive system and probably the best on the market for this price range, at least until Ring and Nest come into the UK market with their alarm offerings (which have been available in the US for some time).

When the Somfy alarm system works well, it work very well. Too well sometimes. The default sensitivity of the Intellitags is very sensitive and our postman has set the alarm off a few times posting a letter through our front door.The motion sensor is also very sensitive and I’ve had to reduce the sensitivity as we have cats that jump on kitchen work surfaces and have set it off previously.So as a intrusion detection system I’d say it’s very good. The Intellitags work well when setup and the motion sensor is very sensitive.My only gripe, and the reason for not awarding 5 stars, is that the system gets a bit temperamental when you need to make a major change to the setup - say changing the WIFI network it connects to.Not ling after moving house we had to change the WIFI network and I thought this would be straightforward. However, after several failed attempts to get the base unit to connect i was forced to reset the whole system. This meant Re-pairing all the Intellitags, Siren and motion sensor. I’ve had to do this about 4 or 5 times in year. Guaranteed, my situation will be different from most as we’ve been through several WIFi setups. But it is a major annoyance - especially when setting up the Intellitags you have to open and close doors and windows so that the sensors can ‘learn’ the extremities of your entry points.That said, the system works well. The App works well. We’ve since bought a Somfy Camera too which integrates seamlessly. We also have indoor Arlo cameras that I can activate when arming the Somfy system by some fairly simple integration achieved through the IFTTT support.

Superb alarm system, fairly straight forward to set up and works very well. Internal and external sirens both very loud with bright lights, was pleasantly surprised how far from the link I could put the external box. The motion sensor works well with lots of adjustments for pets, haven’t had any false alarms with that or the intelli tag window sensors, which work well (my builder missed a text about letting me know when he artived to do some work, so my patio door sensor got an unplanned test and activated the alarm). When the alarm does go off, you get an app notification, email and text. Not sure how the text works, am not aware of GSM back up on the link, but I guess if you’re phone doesn’t have data signal,you’ll still get an alert, doubt it’ll work if the WiFi is lost that the link uses, but could be wrong.Overall I’m very happy, and plan to add the indoor camera and possibly more sensors.EDIT: new experience - the anti-tamper on the external siren works very well, but the battery cover has fell off my fob twice so minus a star :-(

This alarm system is exactly what I was looking for and when it worked, it worked well, however I had to go through 3 returns cycles & finally buy the bundle with the external light to get a working product. The first 3 had a fault where the internal siren was not installed with any warning sounds. We have no been using it for 3 months and have only had 2 false alarms (one door tag, and one PIR - both were on south facing rooms on a hot day), however as we have internal cameras we were able to check them and disable/rearm the alarm whilst we were away. One of the best features of this alarm is that once I've driven around 1/2 a mile away it'll send me a push notification to arm the alarm.I can activate it from a single click from the notification and have peace of mind whilst I'm away.

Very easy to set up.The app works well and doesn't crash.Looks good.The fobs are great, and cheap to add more at £25 each.IntelliTAGs work really well on doors. Please note that on windows they work on vibration so need to be put on the frame of a sash window as the up down movement of the window won't set them off. Then again, the banking or shaking of the window will set them off.Mine came with a Euro plug and a British plug. You attach whichever is appropriate to the back of the Link.

Bar some minor niggles, this is a fantastic product. Took very little time to set up, and the app works very well. My only complaint (very small) is the sensitivity - despite setting one of the sensors a the front door, it was paranoid enough to go off from a light knock: recommend playing with the sesitivity unless you fancy waking up with a fright!
