Comments (2)Hello, Security lights must be powerful (high level of lumen output) yet, efficient (low level of power consumption, solar power, etc.) and durable (able to withstand the elements without having to be regularly serviced).

Comments (7)Yes - I don't want a monitored security system. However they'll install one (traditional alarm system) as part of the house and I'll get a free year of service.

However I'll add that some of the better nest features do require a Nest Aware ($60/yr) or Aware Plus ($120/yr) subscription. Mostly that goes towards online storage space I think. thanks,...See Morehumbleandkind
