I just configured it and email/texting of events alarms is NOT FREE. It asks me to sign up for a monthly service. Is that your experience as well?

Agree with Scott. The free stuff is enough for me. You do need to set up an account on their website, enter your contact info for email or SMS, verify email or SMS, and assign your system to it for everything to work. This is a fantastic product and I highly recommend it!

I signed up on their website, but did not pay for any of their services. The basic email and message alerts were free but if you wanted more than that then you had to pay for a monthly service plan. The free service works great for me.

Sorry to answer so late. I just recently figure it out how to make the sistem work. The basic notification via email and texting is FREE. You have to assign youre data to the device on the configuration page. There is a plus service that is paid and among other chararacteristics alouds you to have more then one contact

Nest Protect does not communicate with non-Nest Protect alarms. If you have a large house, I would recommend replacing them as your current alarms die or gradually. I've done it this way and it doesn't seem like such a financial burden rather than doing it all at once.

Matthew , yes it is Alarm .com, and we can set you up with either AT&T; , Tmobile, or Verizon. Which evere one you prefer

My Gusto has an alarm glitch at certain set times. For instance, the alarm does not work if set at exactly 6AM. But it does work at other times. Not a cool glitch for a phone. And Verizon would not help me get this problem fixed.

Have to be subscribed to their isecurity+ software service, like $7 a camera per month. Don't think you can get messaging to smart phone/tablet, etc without their service ( isecurity+). Then you have instant messaging 24x7. Seems their system down last two days, can't even get on website.

First, look under "Alarm Service Settings." Make sure two boxes are checked, "Motion Detect Armed" and "Send Mail on Alarm." Next, go to "Mail Service Settings." Make double sure you have the correct email addresses. If you're using gmail with two-step verification, it won't work. If so, make another gmail account and keep the login simple... email and password. Check that you actually typed smtp and not stmp - many people (including me) have done this. I'm only familiar with gmail. If that's what you're using, make sure you use port 465 and turn on TLS. Hope that helps. I've setup 3 units and have no issues. Good luck.

Thanks to you all for your help. I did set up voicemail but it is not working. But I'll try the trick from Jen--I'm desperate for help! The link to the manual is very kind, too. I still can't set use my NY Times subscription (the Droid app just fails and fails). Can't sign in to my Google stuff--the qwerty board refuses to appear when I'm asked for my password. Big sigh. At least I can phone out. Again, thanks to the community!

On mine the motion detection and email notification do not work. When I looked for a firmware update it appears they have abandoned it (unless they have done something in the last few months). I generally use it with a third party app such as WebCam XP to send me email on motion, but that is annoying as you have to run your computer all the time and when it freezes and you're away, your dead in the water.

Yes, you have to enable z-wave under services and add the lock as a device. Once you do that, call up your service provider like Monitronics or ADT and have them enable it on Alarm.com. I did that and it works flawlessly from my smart phone.

Change the sound format until you find compatible sound your looking for there's a button that does this. At least yours is still working if I plug in four things to charge it spazzes out and quits or everything plugged in starts shooting me messages or turning themselves on and off and the second alarm stopped all together I'd wish I'd known plus the sound quality even with the format changed still creates mad reverb when pushed too loud. Hope this helps. If you just got it ID return it ASAP... good luck

You need to go into setup for the camera, I think you have the scheduler turned on. Go into email/FTP Alarm, then click Alarm Service Settings, uncheck scheduler.

I have connected mine to Vitex security system and access it through that and Alarm.com. It works fine.

There is no subscription fee to get motion email alerts. You may check this link: http://www.belkin.com/us/support-article?articleNum=8133

It looks to me that you can set the alarm for only one event at a time. You have to re-set for another event later in the day. Keep in mind that this clock also has a "snooze" function, but I haven't used this feature yet. I hope this is helpful.

Sorry, can't help. Ours has worked without event since we purchased it. Wish you all the best.

The email function used to work for me, back when the device worked reliably, now it doesn't work at all, much less alert me by email. This thing is junk.
