Thanks Joan Ann. Thatâs the HKC one youâre talking about I assume?
Thanks,

Hi Dave
I have this alarm too. There are a few unlabeled buttons but it is very
useable with Voiceover.

Hi David
Another potential candidate may be the HKC Security. This was installed by
an independent alarm installer. I don't use the keypad so not sure of
ithat accessibility to someone with little or no vision. It gives audio
notifications to anything you do on it. The app is clean and easy to use. I
have an iphone with face id and the app opens to the action page without
keypad inputs. It is not possible to link this to Siri so voice control is
not possible. You will need to get a sim card and subscribe to an automatic
service to get alarm notifivations by text. That costs about 50âÂỲ
annually.
Not sure what voiceover is like with the app. Overall this system works
well for the different users in the house. Installation involves a keypad,
control box, bell and sensors around the house. This includes a motion
sensor so you can partially or fully alarm with that sensor off or on.
Regards
John

Thanks guys.
Based off the price and the customer service when I called, IâÂÂm
currently
leaning towards the Home Secure option over PhoneWatch or Action24.
But if anyone else has experiences with any of them, please let me know.
Cheers,
Dave

Hi all,
PI'm looking at getting a house alarm installed.
The two companies I've got quotes from so far are PhoneWatch and Home
apps are screen reader friendly?
Does anyone have experience with either of these, and can say if their
Or would you recommend any other companies?
Thanks,
Dave
