Does anybody know of a European home security system (just a simple siren and motion sensor and an app) for when you’re away from home?
I’ve checked out Philips Hue but I still cannot tell whether they offer a normal alarm system or not.
It also seems like a lot of companies in this area have gone broke or stopped shipping.

Because of the propensity for 3rd parties stealing my data or just going out of business leaving me with no product, I went down the route of homeassistant + zigbee buttons and door/motion sensors with cheap internet-isolated tapo cameras + frigate nvr to capture the footage
Also a Google Coral TPU to process the footage for activity.
This is the nerd route, but it also can’t be taken away from me. Also no subscriptions and cheaper initial purchase price.
Though the HA hobby eats your wallet.
Did you find a satisfying solution for the doorbell?
I’m about to entirely rework my home automation to use HA + Matter + Zigbee, but I’m still using a Ring Doorbell.
About to start my own HA+Mycroft journey. What eats your wallet exactly?
How about the “Z-Wave” System from Technisat. (Germany)
Or you dive into the “Shelly” System. (Bulgaria)
