Setting up the home security system was easy and took less than half an hour. Now, I know every time a door or window has been opened. I can also enable/disable my system wherever and whenever. Having full control of my system is amazing!
Home Security App Not Ready for Prime Time
First of all, the phone service is first rate, which is why I jumped on board when home security was announced. The sensors are straight forward, but the App, yikes! Still waiting for the update (since March 2018) to fix geocaching and now, apparently time zones. Numerous e-mails and telephone calls to Ooma and I expected a fix, but the resolution is to wait for the App update. App apparently doesn't know next day AM times follows evening PM times. I was going to buy more sensors, but not yet. C'mon Ooma, I'm rooting for you and would like to update my reviews.

Geofencing , nice idea it worked perfectly at first, now it doesn’t work at all. Set it on my phone set my GPS settings to what they asked me to and it doesn’t automatically turn on and off like it did when I first got it . It really bums me out as I thought this was a great feature

At this price point for a security system, I think this is a great system. It's a simple system just the Ooma base plus the sensors.

I’m using my new water sensor by placing it near my sump pump. Now I’ll know if there is ever a failure!
The non existence garage door opener
I keep getting emails about this product and there is no web page for it. What is going on.
Reply from Ooma: Thanks so much for your review on Ooma Home Security. Regarding your concern, although Ooma does not offer a garage door opener, our Garage Door Sensor is available for purchase. Simply log into “My Ooma,” find the VTech Garage Door Sensor on https://www.ooma.com/home-security/shop-security-devices/, and click “Buy Now.” We apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused.
Love the money savings and the comprehensive features of the Telo, Home Security, and mobile app.
More than just a low cost phone service
On top of lower cost services, with the additional of a door sensor and Linx, my Ooma system is slowly becoming more and more versatile; much more than just offering low cost phone service. Looking forward to seeing what other services will be incorporated into Ooma.
I have Ooma all over the house, phones and sensors are very reliable and effective. More success to Ooma!
I like how Ooma isn’t just a phone system. It is also a home security system and an internet filter.
