Review: Seems Good - This alarm system was incredibly easy to set up. Everything comes pre-paired, so all you have to do is pull out the plastic tabs that keep the batteries from draining during transit. You can stick the components up with the adhesive pads provided or use plugs and screws if you want something more permanent, I just used the sticky pads. The whole installation took me less than 30 minutes. Honestly, it took longer to get the ladder out than to screw in the outdoor siren! If your bundle includes a fob, it’s a brilliant little extra that makes arming and disarming the system so much easier, whether you’re coming home or heading downstairs in the morning. We’ve been dealing with a string of burglaries in the area, and they’ve been targeting back doors. Ours is very accessible, so I’ve configured the alarm to go off instantly with no delay if the door is opened. It gives me real peace of mind, and I sleep much better at night knowing it’s in place. I’ve turned off the motion sensors because I don’t want to have to disarm the alarm every time I walk into the living room or risk forgetting to rearm it during the night. For me, securing the doors is the priority, if someone tries to break in through a window, it would be noisy enough that the alarm wouldn’t even be necessary. At the end of the day, you can’t put a price on feeling comfortable in your own home, especially at night. Knowing you’ve got a good theft deterrent is priceless. Although, I’m not too concerned if someone does manage to break in. What matters to me is that I’d know about it right away so I can deal with them personally, rather than being asleep and unaware while my children are sleeping too. I can confidently recommend this to anyone. This is one of those items your gut tells you that you need, and you should always listen. Plus, the hub doubles as a siren, so it’s not just the outdoor one making noise. Together, they are incredibly loud, especially at night, when the sound would be insanely jarring, My kit also came with a dummy siren. Personally, I didn’t see the need for it, (AKA I didn't want to climb up the ladder again) so I gave it to my parents to use as a deterrent. Even though it doesn’t make any noise, its presence alone is likely enough to put off some thieves
Review: Great idea. Easy setup, Great alternative to "Bells Only" - The Yale Sync Smart Home Alarm system has two purposes. Firstly as a traditional "ring the bell" alarm and secondly as a smart alarm which notifies you on your phone and allows you to arm/disarm your alarm when you're out. As a traditional "Bells only" non smart alarm it is definitely worth 5/5. It was quick and easy to install, all the fittings were provided. I purchased additional sensors so I have installed 5 PIRs, 5 Door /Window contacts, the external siren and the keypad. All of these took under 2 hours to install (ignoring the external siren - it was raining, that was done separately the following day). The 'built in alarm' in the hub is 100db of loud and more than adequate alone, the second one is more of a deterrent than something that's required. I have successfully setup the part arm and full arm modes with ease. Being able to set multiple pins is a great idea, obviously however the more pins you have the easier it is to guess and your alarm is only as secure as your weakest pin. I have a pin for myself and then 2 family members have different pins so if they need to disarm it they can, but I will also know who has been in my house if they do. The only issue I have had is occasionally when using the App occasionally it says the 'hub is offline'. Which means I cannot get notifications or remotely arm/disarm the alarm. This is easily fixed by turning the alarm off and on again physically, just a pain. This is an issue with any smart device, whether it be blinds, bulbs, alexas, alarms or smart cars. Hopefully overtime this becomes less of an issue. This model is far superior than their old Yale Smart Home Alarm system and operates at a much better range and is more reliable. Ultimately it comes down to this: If you want a "Bells Only" alarm this is great, if you want an "alarm with notifications" this is good but not bulletproof. If you want the most reliable service possible you'll need to buy an ADT alarm with subscription and even then there is a slight risk of it going 'bells only'. For context, my setup throught ADT would have been £800 installed and then £40 a month £930 more in the first year and then £480 a year more forever... So I'd definitely recommend this unless you're a Jewellery store or bank. 4/5 would definitely recommend for most people. Would be 5/5 if the hub never disconnected, however overtime the server technology should improve this, I'd say my hub uptime is around 95% from what has been monitored so far.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent concept, nicely implemented (in the main), with some strange design decisions made
*by F***C on 13 January 2021*

​We previously used a Friedland alarm system which is now over 15 years old, so when two of the sensors stopped responding, we decided to replace it with a "smart" system which would integrate with our other devices (Alexa, Hue and so on). After deciding on key criteria (wireless, over 15 metres wireless signal detection range, integration with smart home, no monthly subscription, door chimes, ability to handle significant number of sensors (3 door contacts, 8 PIR for home and outbuildings), we settled on this unit. Some of the products we looked at from other vendors said "80 metre wireless signal range" but when you read their manuals, this was 80 metres "clear" i.e. when used in the middle of a field, and went down to 15 metres if you were foolish enough to use the product inside a building with actual walls in it!). On unboxing the kit, it seemed quite straight forward so we went for it, and let it walk us through the smart installation wizard. The steps were fairly simple and within 30 minutes the system was up and running. Another 10 / 15 minutes of playing around we got the Alexa integration running, plus the Apple watch functionality working. The "strange" design decisions were: on the hub, for the backup battery, there's a switch that needs to be toggled in order to enable the battery. The toggle label, unlike every other switch I've ever come across, gives instructions for using the switch rather than showing the state of the switch. So, instead of showing On / Off with the switch being positioned under the relevant value (like everyone else does), it shows a left pointing arrow followed by the word "on", indicating (I think) that you need to slide the switch to the left such that it's NOT under the word "On" in order to activate the backup battery. That's just plain daft, and even worse, until you switch it to On, you'll get an orange light on the front of the hub and a beep every 30 seconds until you figure out what's wrong, which is pretty annoying. There's a door chime function whereby the hub emits a chime sound whenever entry points are used. The chime sound (accessed from top left waffle button, settings, alarm settings, system settings, general configuration) was initially set to "No Sound". I turned on the door chime for both door contact points and couldn't figure out why it wasn't making a noise until I went searching on the net and found someone who'd turned it on. Questions are a) what's the point of having a door chime function if you're going to default it to "no sound" and b) if you're going to be idiosyncratic enough to default it to silent, why hide the setting under five levels of menus? Another daftness. the watch app stopped working overnight, so we couldn't disarm the system from the watch. I can only assume that it timed out, but I'll check that tomorrow and update the review if necessary. As things stand, having a watch app that can time out turns the watch integration into a novelty that is of no use in the real world. Edit: after digging around, I found that by going to top left waffle menu, settings, users, app security, and switching on "Enable touch ID", the watch stopped needing the phone to log onto Yale before it maintained sync with the alarm, so the watch integration is now a useful addition to the ways to interrogate / arm / disarm the alarm, and it isn't just a novelty any more. Anyway, after spending a minimal amount of time setting the system up and then AGES figuring out the daftnesses, we've finished up with a system that integrates with the rest of the house, has a good range, and first impressions are very favourable. The first thing we did on registering with the Alexa skill was to change the names of the devices to "Yale security", "Yale front" and "Yale back" to simplify arming and disarming by voice. Now, by saying "Alexa arm Yale security", the alarm is set and "Alexa disarm Yale security" causes her to ask for the pin and when you give it, the alarm is unset. Nice. We also did a routine which is triggered by the "arming of the system" event, which causes the "Messaging" action in the routine to broadcast "the alarm is now set" to all Alexa devices, as well as an "unset" equivalent, to let everyone know that the alarm isn't set anymore. Additionally, the chime function is an irrelevance if you have an Alexa device or two, since you can set up a routine that is triggered by doors opening. When the "Yale front" contact sensor is triggered, the routine broadcasts "the front door has been opened" to all Alexa devices and similarly a message for back door opening is in place. Lots better than a "dinkdink" noise coming out of the hub... The Alexa integration means the keypad and fob provided with the kit are redundant, so we'll just take the batteries out of those and stick them in a drawer somewhere. The rest of the kit is great, though, so I'd recommend this system to anyone who wants a flexible, extensible, alarm system that they can install themselves and integrates well into a smart home
