Works well. Easy to set up

Extremely good value for money. High quality and easily installed and no false triggering. Additional motion sensors are very compact and again good value when compared to other manufacturers.

The alarm is great, easy to setup, although the support was not up to much when I had to ask a question.

Perfect

Lasted about 6 months then stopped responding. Reset it, couldn't get it reconnected to smart life or my wifi, and gave up with it.

Super easy to install - bought the doorbell later and adding it on was again very easy. if you need a basic alarm, which warns you on your phone if someone breaks in, can't go wrong with this. I am guessing changing the sensor batteries won't be so easy (they stick to the surface - at the back - where the battery panel is) but I worry about that when the time comes.

Considering it's price it's very easy to use and setup a s pretty much hassle free and does exactly what it's supposed to do!

Has limitations What's in the box? 1 x Cube gateway 2 x RFID fobs 2 x door sensors 1 x vibration sensor Instructions I was excited to get this but after experimenting I'm a bit disappointed to be honest Firstly, build quality. It's all made from plastic, and just feels cheap to me, considering what it costs. You also don't get much for your money. For instance, make sure you read the listing properly. If you go by the photos alone, you could be left with the impression that you get the monitor as well, when in fact this is to be purchased separately. Obviously its not essential, you can operate the system via an app on your phone, link it with Alexa etc, but to get anywhere near a comprehensive system it's going to cost £££'s, this set is just the absolute basics to start you off. I think for someone living alone, or an elderly relative, for peace of mind it would be great. But for a family I don't think it's worth it, for a start you only get 2 RFID fobs to arm/disarm the system. I appreciate it can also be done via the phone app, but realistically this would be a headache to keep having to do compared to using a fob. All that aside, it's easy to install and set up, and there's no monthly fee that you get with other brands of home security, which is a big plus in its favour. I think if you're prepared to spend more money and build a bigger system then fair enough, but as it stands I'm not convinced that you're getting value for money with this particular package, so its just 3 stars from me.
