You can’t of course rely on any _wireless_ device by 100%, but it should work most of the time.  
I don’t think one should use Homey as replacement for a real alarm system, or for life saving applications.

There’s a zigbee check script, which can improve reliability a bit, because you’re getting alerted when a sensor is being “quiet”.

> @ all: I’d like to recommend this “last-update check” script. You can run it, like, every 12 or every 24 hours. Then you’ll be notified as soon as a sensor is “quiet”, which indicates it doesn’t respond anymore. Somehow this is not built into Homey’s zigbee system, which is (very) necessary imho.
