What is the broadest smart home ecosystem that includes a monitored home alarm option?
Hi all
We're building a new home, and one thing we presently hate is the plethora of smart apps we use to run our devices. Right now we have
- Vivint Alarm, smart door lock
- Chamberlain MyQ Garage Door
- Google Home devices
- Nest front doorbell and security cameras
- Nest thermostat
- Kasa Smart Plugs
- Globe Smart Bulbs
Dumb. We want to integrate this into the fewest brands as possible. Yes, we can integrate a lot of it into Google Home voice commands, but if we're using apps on our phones this isn't a great option. Clunky at best.
Ring seemed like a contender, but apparently some of their "Works with Ring" functionality is locked US-only - for example the Liftmaster garage door opener features. That's too bad. Otherwise, it seems Ring might have the broadest ecosystem for this stuff.
Any other ideas? I appreciate any advice.
