Leaving Alarm.com

For the past three years I have used Alarm.com to access the security panel in a basement rental. I have moved to a condo and dont need a security system anymore -- but I am very interested in home automation. Unfortunately, given the sorry state of this app, I could not fathom using Alarm.com for that (or really any) purpose.

Every other major home automation hub app has a vastly better and more attractive UI. Alarm.com seems to be constantly behind the times on iOS (they only just now rolled out a Today View widget). And Alarm.com updates extremely rarely, which is huge red flag for an app of this class.

I did not choose Alarm.com, my landlords did. But I sure wish Alarm.com had given me a reason to stay.
