Wasteful Review

My motion sensor 3rd Gen won’t work as expected, it won’t connect my wifi that is using 2.4G hertz, and everything is a mess.

There is no point for my insurance to send me a motion sensor, what a waste.👎👎👎👎👎👎

Shipping Address Not Valid

Your sensor is giving off false readings and it needs a free magnetic message every two minutes all night, I’m so tired from these continuous messages.

The app directs you to an online store, and then promptly rejects an Australian address with”Shipping not available . Your order cannot be shipped to the selected address. Review your address to ensure it's correct and try again, or select a different address”.

The massage even occurs when the website auto populates your home address as you type, indicating that the entered address is correct; however, sending to Australia seems to be not achievable with this company.

Time to remove the system, so that I can a full nights sleep.

Absolutely rubbish

Can’t connect. No support. Poor privacy. Waste of money and time.

Failing to support app

Failing to accept password re do the password and will let u in for small amount of time then will say already connected to base with different username so the app needs update to fix bugs otherwise would be a great setup , needs urgent fix

Unable to set up

I repeatedly tired to connect the Norton bridge to my wifi, to kept being told unable to connect. I tired various methods of different locations and re-installing the app. I checked I had the correct wifi and password after endless hours, no solution.

FAQ

What does the Notion app do?

The Notion app allows you to monitor your property for various events using Notion's multifunctional sensors. It can detect opening doors and windows, water leaks, sounding smoke and CO alarms, and temperature changes. You receive instant notifications on your smartphone when any activity is detected.

What are the key features of the Notion system?

Key features include monitoring for door/window openings, water leaks, smoke/CO alarms, and temperature changes. The app also offers customizable notifications, allowing you to decide what you're alerted about and when. Additionally, it supports multi-user access, enabling you to share control of your system with others without sharing personal login details.

Is there a cost associated with using the Notion app and system?

The app itself is free to download and use for basic monitoring. However, the system relies on Notion Sensors, which are a hardware purchase. There is also an optional 'Notion PRO' upgrade for 24/7 professional monitoring, which likely involves a subscription fee for enhanced services like push, text, and phone call alerts, and emergency service contact.

What kind of devices is the Notion app compatible with?

The description states that notifications are received directly to your smartphone, implying compatibility with iOS and Android devices. The Notion sensors themselves are the hardware components that connect to the app to provide monitoring data.

How can I use the Notion app for my home?

You can use the Notion app to enhance your home's safety and awareness. It's ideal for monitoring for potential water leaks in basements or bathrooms, ensuring doors and windows are closed, and receiving alerts if smoke or CO alarms are triggered. The multi-user support is also useful for sharing access with family members or trusted individuals.
