Can I integrate homey with monitoring system?
Hi all, I am here to get some suggestions. I and my grandmother are staying together in a rental apartment. While going to work I have to leave her home alone, which is making me rather disturbed. We had a caregiver here and she left one month back due to some personal reasons. So now my grandmother is not willing to hire a caregiver. But since I am concerned about her safety I am thinking of installing a monitoring system. We have a homey at our place. But my question is can I integrate this homey with my monitoring system. If so, can I monitor all the things taking place in my home? I would like to get some suggestions on this. Thanks in advance.

Personally I'd build something myself, get a synology NAS and a few camera licenses
buy some supported IP camera's and link them all to homey*
add in some zwave door sensors, PIR's, panic buttons etc. and you should be good to go
*personally i'd also add a domoticz installation to the mix as a backup or intermediate solution, then you also need a zwave usb stick
