Honeywell bundled an impressive number of features into the company’s crowdsourced Smart Home Security starter kit, including a security camera, smart home integration and Alexa. But it’s not what Honeywell included so much as what it left out from this $450 kit that gives us pause.
This product lacks proper facial recognition features and doesn’t offer professional monitoring, which makes its price too high when more-established brands, such as Nest, Abode and SimpliSafe, offer less expensive and more expansive starter security kits.
