This app is good and does what it is supposed to do. It could, however, be great if it allowed users to organize zones better e.g. being able to hide zones that are “Not in use” etc.

Works as advertised for the most part. Allows remote operation of the system fairly easily. But a few quirks - It randomly logs you out and then have to login. When trying to quickly turn off the alarm before going into the house this is majorly annoying. And it has no automation features and no ability to hook up to home automation solutions like HomeKit or Home Assistant. This makes the usage much less useful since it doesn’t do much more than a physical remote. Yes it is useful for example to let the pool guy in when we are not home but having support for automation would make it much simpler than it is now like when the pool guy rings my camera doorbell I can automate the disable of certain beams so they can work without triggering.

Highly recommended, easy setup and just works. The combination of Wi-Fi and 3g fall over that is included in your annual subscription works flawlessly. Do you can access your alarm even during load shedding via the app. Ability to add your own users without having to add users on the panel is very useful to give people temporary or timed access to the system. Well done to the Olarm team.
