> That’s great. How often do you test it?

Most sensors gets used on a daily basis — as they are part of other home automation, like motion activated lighting. I can put the system in "walk test" mode, which gives a verification sound every time a sensor is activated. And there is a siren test function. I try to do those about once a month.

I'd say so. As I said; we have good neighbors that would react to the alarm, and I get notified on my phone. But the pros are normally gone before anyone has time to react anyways :)
