I follow the one is the same as none and two is one theory.
I use home watch and also have monitors to check for water leaks. An energy monitor tells me if any number of the electric powered devices (fridge, HVAC and so on) fail. The thermostat sends an email if the humidity gets too high.
My logic is what happens if a problem develops an hour after home watch leaves?
Last week a poster reported that someone shut off his irrigation water at the curb. Home watch didn't tell him. I would know about it that same day.
If all this sounds like overkill I respect that, but for me it is inexpensive insurance and worth the piece of mind.
