Unlike others who throw a fit if they suspect a hidden commercial motive in a post such as yours, I'd like to thank you for pointing out something I might be interested in buying, if it lives up to its promise, and the price is right. The website was slow to load, and I left wondering exactly how the system works. In particular: How does the remote notification work? What level of remote control is possible? What role does the required telephone line play? Having the ability to use a mobile phone service to send text messages would be nice. With Virgin Mobile, you can have the service for $5 per month, and sending a text message is 10 cents, receiving is free. While I realize this would take some clever engineering, it nicely sidesteps a couple of problems. If the system is for a rental unit, you have to either use a tenant's phone line, or install a dedicated line. If you are worried about break-ins, a cell system eliminates cutting the phone lines as a way to disable the system. | |||||||||||||

geez no commercial or personal involvement here from me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, I just saw a write up in the new Smart Homeowner magazine September/October issue page 11. I posted the note before I realized it hasn't yet shipped, I too am intrigued and did sign up to receive more info. The mag lists the starter pack at 149, w/ ea additional sensor at 35-49 dollars. >
