today we're going to look at the presents security pact that is a set of seven sensors and a zigbee hub from startup people power for year two hundred and ninety-nine bucks you get a water sensor a motion sensor a temperature sensor a touch or tamper sensor and three door and window sensors it also comes with a zigbee hub that ties everything together that's quite a bit of stuff and it works well to the app is intuitive and allows you to set rules within the app that are similar to if this than that the if service that we all know for example i put this water sensor in my dog's water bowl and set a rule to notify me when she ran out of water pretty simple but it worked extremely well it was very responsive and you can use it for more important stuff like detecting leaks in your house I do have one big issue with this kit though two hundred and ninety-nine dollars for seven sensors so you are getting a lot but if you average that out that's just under forty bucks per device here and that may not seem like a lot but you can find door and window sensors and temperature sensors for a lot less online and you really have to be committed to the people power brand to buy into this at all the biggest disconnect for me is that a lot of the people using people powers free present app are enjoying the free aspect of that security camera as an alternative to buying a real security camera so how many of those people are probably going to drop three hundred bucks on all these sensors to accompany this free app I don't think that's super likely so while I do think this is a solid set of sensors I also think that it will alienate a lot of people powers existing fans for more on people powers present security pact please check out my review on cnet com I'm Megan Willerton for Cena
