Good but could be better. – Home8 Review

I got the oplink triple shield about 6 months ago. I'm very happy with the system but there are a few changes I would love for them to add to the app that would make it 5 star. But I it works exactly as described. I've had no issues with its current specs. The video quality is amazing and I'm often watching using cellular. The Apple Watch portion is buggy and tends to think that it's always in Armed mode and won't let me change it. But most of the Apple Watch apps are buggy, so I'm not really going to hold them to high standards on that. Nothing worse than realizing I left my back door unlocked for days. Would love peace of mind from looking at a log of door openings, and seeing if that door was ever opened in that time range. Currently it only logs if the alarm is currently set. An extension of that, I would love to get a notification popup on my phone if a door is opened. No matter if the alarm is set or not. My sisters alarm speaks every time a door is opened and I found it very reassuring to know I'd be notified if the kids tried to sneak out a back door. Or if I forgot to set the alarm. Obviously this would need to have the ability to toggle on/off for people who don't want it. I would love to see a current status of door/window sensors. Open or closed. Currently I have to set the alarm to find out if all sensors are in closed mode. And the ultimate wish, to earn an impossible 6 star review: I have tendency to forget to set my alarm. I would love for the app to detect when I leave the area of my home and prompt me to set the alarm. (Update: I just noticed there is an ability to schedule the alarm to go on and off on a schedule each day. This is awesome will help with my daily forgetfulness.)
