Silent alarm on Nest Secure?

[Hug54]

I'd like the option of monitoring the home on the app while away from the house, without sounding the alarm or requiring someone to disable a blaring alarm. Mainly to see when kids might be coming and going, or of course if someone has entered without permission. Does Nest Secure/Guard offer such an option?

Hi there, 

I am glad to hear that you are interested in our Nest Secure system. I have a fantastic article that goes over the system and what it offers. I would invite you to take a look, and see if this is the right system for you. Please let me know if you need further assistance.

Best regards,

Hi JT and Brad - sorry I didn’t reply right away. Got the message and I have looked over the info. I’ve had the Secure system for a few years now but am just getting around to seeing if it will fit current needs. I know it’s obsolete and has been replaced with a system that may work better, but I thought it was worth a shot to try to adapt this one. I can’t find a good way to have it simply monitor and report to the app without setting off the alarm, so I may have to go a different route. Thanks again to you both.
