I agree with Wilme2.
One of the main reasons I chose a Vera was I did not want to pay a service and with VeraMate, I become the monitoring service.
When we get notifications, we open VeraMate, look at the 4 cameras to see what is happening, and if I need to call police/fire/EMS, I will call.
My next "piece" is a sensor on my smoke alarms so I can get a notification when they are activated. The next "piece" after that is a flow sensor on my water line so if in Away or Vacation Mode, and I get a water flow, I get a notification.
Just knowing what is happening is good enough for me.
