Yes, that's what I do! There are a lot of options. When you interface your security system (in my case, Caddx) with your other HA items (Ocelot and Homeseer) you can also do things like turn on all the lights in your home, announce when someone is coming into the garage (so they don't scare you when you come home), announce if a door gets opened (little ones running around), etc...
You can also do other things like turn power on to some indoor cameras only on an alarm (WAF factor if she is home during the day), etc...
I did have a false alarm but it was my own fault as we left a large "birthday" balloon in our family room that was next to a large window which gets the morning sun. The AC came on, blew the balloon across the window (thus changing the heat signature) and, you guessed it, the motion sensor alarmed!
