### 5/5 — Great simple security system

*2026-04-09, version 1.33.8*

Set this up for my parents home and it’s so simple for them to learn and use. It works and I don’t have to worry about it no longer being supported like what happened with Google and Nest, nor being used for mass surveillance/AI like Ring.

### 5/5 — Ooma security works!

*2026-03-11, version 1.33.6*

I have used Ooma home security for years.  The water sensors have identified issues for us on a few occasions already.  The motion sensors are also very accurate.  I have Arlo cameras that occasionally give false alarms, but by checking the Ooma sensors I know the Arlo cameras misidentified noise for something else.

### 5/5 — Great value!

*2026-02-10, version 1.33.6*

I’m glad this supports security just for the cost of sensors. No subscription fees! Gamechanger!

### 5/5 — Ooma home security

*2026-01-22, version 1.33.6*

Easy to install and very low price. Easy to program.

### 5/5 — Ooma Smart Security

*2025-10-18, version 1.33.6*

We are loving the Ooma smart security system.  Very scalable for our residents.  We can purchase elements as we have the money.  They should keep inventing new items to integrate into the Smart Security.

Their elements are rather big...We like more compact but, hey.

### 5/5 — Works Well

*2025-09-15, version 1.33*

I have used Oma Smart security for years.  It is reliable and has prevented things from getting worse like water problems.

### 1/5 — Affordable and reliable

*2025-08-18, version 1.33*

An easy to use interface, and fast customer service.

### 4/5 — Setup Info

*2025-08-06, version 1.33*

Component information is good and easy to access. But information on the phone application set up is less than clear or simple.

### 1/5 — No longer supported

*2025-07-29, version 1.33*

But no alternative... rude customer service.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2025-03-09, version 1.33*

I love it! The geofencing is great feature!
