Easy as can be
Brilliant system, it works straight out of the box . No problems with connectivity or teaching new devices and the app is really well laid out. I can’t find any faults with it after a month of use.
It was easy to install, I am no great DIY person and I managed to stick things in places, mount the outside box and set it up in the App. Following the instructions needs to be done with care. I’m useless, so it took me a few hours of head scratching. But I got there in the end. I love how you can set and unset on both my phone and my wife’s. I think it is good value as I got quotes for three times the cost to have an alarm professionally fitted and this one works fine. You need to be able to use a drill and a screw driver and fiddle about with app settings.
Easy to fit, easy to use
A simple alarm and camera system.
Easy to use app to control it.
Nice and loud external siren.
The door camera is a bit slow to react sometimes especially at night, but the camera and light are of good quality.
Be aware both cameras require a nearby 230v power supply.
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent product.
Product was easy to fit and set up and worked immediately. Download the App which is very useful and also means you can set or unset the alarm if you are out and about.
This is hopefully an interim review, having just installed the system a week ago. Bought this, a pack of 3 pet friendly PIRs and an extra door sensor and I have to say fitting them was a doddle. Took less than 2 hours.
First issue, though was that the App only works for Android 11 and later. Of course my phone was Android 9 and despite trying to update it, I ended up having to get a new phone from Argos. Also the bumf it comes with is a bit out of date (Amazon have probably had the stuff lying around for a bit) and needed a different App to the one in the instructions.
Next issue was that the keypad seems to be defective. It doesn’t arm the alarm properly and I cannot use it to disarm it, despite doing a couple of resets. So I think a new one will be on its way soon.
The Yale helpline people are excellent – there are clearly a lot of hidden features in the system that users will need to be guided through but that’s what they’re there for.
Just hope there are no false activations…
4.0 out of 5 stars 4 stars
Quie good though the sensor downstairs not always works . If I do its test it works again for some time but sometimes loses its connection with the hub which is quite close
Works well but not perfec
Overall I am happy with this fob. Our keypad is by the front door so this enables me to easily set the alarm when leaving the house via the back door to walk the dog. It is also light although a touch more bulky than I anticipated, just about comfortable for going in a pocket but you certainly want it to be any bigger. As others have commented, the button design is not ideal. It isn’t that easy to see the markings and the arm button is raised and fairly sensitive. In the first couple of days I managed to start arming the alarm just by sitting down with it in my pocket or when grabbing my keys from the table. You can overcome this by using the lock button which I now leave on as a matter of course but that does make the whole process slightly more fiddly. It came in the locked position so remember to unlock it before trying to pair with your hub (Yale instructions are pretty useless).
I bought this together with 3 sensors and a keyfob. Was relatively easy to set up. The alarm works well and am glad I purchased it. A few things to note. The instructions are basic and mainly picture based. So not useful when things go differently. I set alarm and activated the siren. On disarming, I noticed an Amber light had illuminated on the control panel. There was no explanation about this online other than battery could be low. Yale help pages failed to load on my andriod phone. So after uninstalling the sensors restarting the process the Amber light was still on. Eventually I managed to find the support site for Yale. Emailed them and got reply sane day. The fix was easy ( set alarm mode for 1 minute and read my notifications) . Amber light went off!! Also the sensors (after initiation where there is a flashing blue light) do not flash. So I could not tell if they were working or not. However lights not flashing when you walk past sensors is normal in order to save battery life. They work when the system is armed, though still do not flash. Apart from the basic instructions the alarm system is good. Works well with keypad, keyfob and with the app. Happy so far.
Good looking, simple to use, sophisticated system but…why on earth go to the bother of designing neat, elegant, white components to which you then add a bog standard transformer with a black cable which, funnily enough, doesn’t feature in any of the photos…Has Apple taught you nothing?
I used AC-PETPIR with Yale sync smart home alarm system as the perimeter alarm for my rear garden previously , it has false alarm whenever the sun heat up the tree in the afternoon it is not reliable for being used as a outdoor PIR .
I have installed CCTV all around the house and the garden , why I need yale as the perimeter alarm system ? They point is , there is case when you are not available to the cctv notification. , so a perimeter alarm is needed to trigger the outside siren automatically if burglar is detected .
This new outdoor PIR arrived , I think the key feature is the double knock feature , I install 2 of them in my rear garden yesterday , still monitoring if it has false alarm or not .
They are linked to the hub and the app , I will on the ARM mode when I am not in home , so , if any burglar in the garage will trigger the alarm and the siren before they try to break the windows or door into the house . Work together with the house police linkage alarm system with vibration sensors and PIR sensors . I hope it can give a peace of mind to me .
With all the doors upgraded to 3 star cylinder lock , with 3M protective film installed on all windows and glasses . I do hope the perimeter alarm is working and functioning , so as to buy time for police to come if the burglar arrived .
p.s I am thinking to add one more Yale siren to the Yale system , to strength the siren .
There’s a lot to like and a lot to dislike about this alarm system. The package is neat and has all essential items for a regular modest-sized home. It’s cheap and no wiring is required.
Once installed and set up it’s easy to use and (so far) reliable.
Installation is not as easy as you might imagine. The instructions are mainly annoying cartoons with very few words – probably to avoid translation into different languages.
The accessories all have anti-tamper devices which make installation a bit worrying as they tend to trigger error messages; and although this isn’t a problem, a few words of explanation in the instructions would avoid the anxiety this creates.
The siren is supplied with screws and rawl-plugs, but the holes for the case a so long it’s difficult to accurately locate the positions for the screws. So if you’re working high up on a ladder, holding a heavy siren which you don’t want to drop, you can easily mis-locate a screw position and end up with a problem. If only Yale supplied a simple printed template in the package for the screw positions, this issue could be easily avoided.
The door switch is OK, but clearly designed mainly for doors that fit flush into the frame. Annoyingly they’re not well suited to UPVC doors.
The app is a bit mickey-mouse, but it works.
I tried phoning the support desk a couple of times – but nobody could be bothered to pick up the phone.
After all that, I did manage to fit the system and get it working. The error messages have disappeared and I feel a bit more confident about using it now.
I had an older version of this alarm (about 10 years old) and it has worked perfectly well, but I wanted an internet connected system, and also one with a longer range so I could include my shed which is at the bottom of my garden. This alarm works well and easily reaches my shed, as well as allowing me to use it via the internet on my android phone app.
A major bonus is being Alexa compatible, as we now always set and disarm the alarm using Alexa – much easier than typing in a PIN number. I’d recommend a look on YouTube as there are some excellent videos about setting up Alexa to work with this Yale Alarm. I also found a great tip on YouTube to run a cable from the siren through the wall into a battery holder mounted inside the house. It can be a bit of a pain to drill the holes etc., but you have to drill holes to mount the siren anyway, so you’re already up the ladder. This means no having to climb a ladder in future years to change the batteries, just change them from inside the house – thanks YouTube 🙂 Setting up the sensors is very easy and made easier that you can have you phone with you when you mount them, so even easier.
Now, the minor downsides I have come across:
The app can only control one alarm system, and I have a second system in my holiday home, so I have had to set up the app on a tablet. Not a big deal but minor inconvenience.
No easy, or official way to wall mount the control hub. I’d have liked to put it where the old control panel was, but it just has to sit on a horizontal shelf.
Both the keypad and key fob would be much better if the alarm/part-arm & disarm buttons were coloured for ease of use in limited light. Not much of an issue as we always use Alexa anyway, but still….
Only the contact sensors are “devices” in Alexa, not the PIR sensors, so you can get Alexa to “Front Door open” but not movement it a room.
Overall the good points far outweigh the minor issues listed above, and I am convinced enough to upgrade my holiday home alarm system to this type.
Highly Recommended.
Great Alarm Ki
Replaced my old wired alarm kit with the Yale Wireless Alarm Kit. Brilliant, works great and so far reliable. You know the status of your alarm and home at all times
Gd system
Gd system. Buy the instructions need to be more complete. A few niggles. Would not buy the keyfob. Keeps activating alarm as entering.
No subscription. Unlike others
Wireless , easy and reliable.
Used this high on my gable end to protect my workshop.
Such a piece of mind, as I drive away from the house I can set the alarm easily with the app.
Unset easy in the morning with your mobile phone.
This alarm is great , thank you Yale
