I made a similar assumption on the S&S system (that devices would still work locally, even without a backend to talk to), but that's apparently not the case!

FWIW, I ended up going with the Somfy alarm system (formerly 'myfox). Ring Protect looks great, but they're being dragged through the US courts on IP issues (even before they look at the UK market). Nest looks great, but no word on US availability. So far (4 weeks) Somfy is excellent - all robust, a...

OK, thanks!

Oh wow, that's considerably worse than I was expecting! And I guess a hard reset of the hub is pointless as it won't be able to load the configuration?

Just out of interest - What's the expected behaviour of S&S 'locally', now that the plug has been pulled? I was under the impression that you'd still be able to arm/disarm, but 24hrs after posting the above the key fobs have stopped working (no noise on any of the fobs and no interaction with th...

And...it's gone! Alerty's showing the expected 'no response' message as of today (4DEC) and the Web UI for S&S is saying it's closed. Good luck to anyone home brewing their own solution - and thanks for Alerty!

Ha, interesting. Thanks. He sounds like a good contact to have! I guess if you have a load of unused devices (key fobs, sensors, etc) it would be worth adding them to the system now - as there won't be any UI to do it once they close everything off. I'll post back here once I've decided what to do.....

The Nest system does look pretty good. And yes, agree that Hive is far from optimal for security right now. One thing I’m considering is just leaving the safe and secure system until the market develops in the UK and these other systems start to become available. However - I’m still not clear what w...

Thanks for Alerty! I am (/was) a Safe and Secure customer and Alerty has effectively extended the life of my alarm by a couple of years. I always thought that the safe and secure system was pretty much what a DIY alarm setup would look like if Apple did one - easy to install, solid platform, ‘just w...

DOH! Yes, that worked fine - thanks. Yeah, a timeout would maybe help. This is fantastic - breathes life into a system that I thought was dead and gone! Great stuff. I'd heard a rumour that BG were rolling in a relaunch of safe and secure into Hive - are you aware of anything along those lines? Chee...

Hi, Over the moon to find an app that supports the BG safe and secure system! I've bought Alerty, but when i open it, it just freezes. The message 'Head over to the details tab...' is shown, but touching there (or anywhere on the screen) doesn't do anything. I'm on an iPhone 5S, running iOS 8.0. Any...
