I am a tech geek, so I also purchased:
1) wifi garage door opener (MyQ). Allows me to remotely open garage door from my phone to let people into the house, without giving garage code. I have used this feature a couple of times.
2) wifi leak detectors to alert of any water backups (I turn off water when not here). I did have a few drops get in the front door seal during hurricane and they alerted me. Opened garage door and neighbor checked and found a small amount of water.
Both are probably overkill...
Camera's allow you to check in and give you piece of mine. I don't use a home watch service.
