Cheers for that. The white / light grey really does help to brighten up the room and give the illusion of more space.

Reason i want two is because i've really worn my Sensei RAW, and it's discontinued now. This time I'm going to use one, and keep the other in the cupboard.
Took me a little while to get used to the Sensei RAW and thumb buttons, but i would be lost without them now.

Wow looks good! How much did the kitchen cost out of interest/where from? Only change I'd make is a full height fridge.. I hate bending! oo err..
Edit: is the fridge in built? If so very nice..

Thank you. The full cost was around 15k all in which includes a new ceiling/lights, new floor tiles (removing 2 layers of previous tiles) removing the wall tiles and re-plastering, fitting outside power socket/tap, embedding pipes in the wall, radiator, units, hob, washing machine, disposal of old waste, quartz worktops etc. The units are from Ikea.
The Miele fridge/freezer is stand alone with the fridge compartment on top.

Took a leap into the smart alarm/camera world with this kit from ismartalarm
easy to set up and reasonable on pricing too, just got to get used to using the app to arm/disarm the alarm instead of a keypad.
Oh and training the Mrs on how to use new tech is like platting fog
so there's 6 months of my life I'm not getting back any time soon

3 camera's in total, one in the garage, one covering the back room doors (as shown) and one covering the front hall.
Seriously impressed for the money £55 for 2 x 1080p cameras
2 way audio too so they can detect glass breaking and sound the alarm.
I have the Nest protect for smoke alarms but if I didn't these camera's would pick up the smoke alarm and notify me.

I've installed the Yale version of this a few months back, and there is an auxiliary keypad you can use anywhere (back doors, front doors, upstairs to partially arm the alarm at night etc). I think iSmart has one coming out in September.
I've got mine out of sight at the front door, so that if you don't have your phone handy or people like my wife can just use a pin to disarm the system. If you find your wife really isn't getting on with the phone/app, it might be an easier life to just get the keypad, add it to the system and let her use that when you're not around.

Is there an option yet to reduce the alarm delay? It was 60 seconds when I last looked into this which seems like quite a long time (i.e. enough to kill the power before anyone is notified).

Yeah, already discussed it with the Mrs, once released in September it'll be purchased.

Where di you buy from?
How much was the complete cost?
Would like to see a thread on this, showing all the bits and bobs, where they go, what they do, how you found installation.
Maybe on the home and garden section.
