Hi,
Yes, our rates have gone up, and we are now more expensive than certain other services. Those particular services charge more for things like open/close reports, daily tests, etc., though, if they accept them at all. They also don't have anything like our online signal log, e-mail notifications, and especially Internet-based monitoring. Those are things that can be done with, say, Alarm.com or ADT, but at that point you're in a whole different price class, and probably looking at a new system, whereas NextAlarm works with any reasonably recent system. Basically, we feel the increase is justified.
We are very excited about the new $5 and free plans. We think it will really take off for people like you on this site, who are into tinkering with home automation, security, etc., and want to get more out of your security system for less (or nothing). Just to reiterate, the free plan is completely free for as long as you want to use it. Obviously we're hoping you'll like it enough to pay the $5, but if the free plan does it for you, that's fine too.

FYI - I find the email notifications hugely cool, and their turnaround on support emails is very fast. I have NextAlarm page my cellphone on arm/disarm's, and a few other events, and it's consistently one of the "hey, can you show me how to do that with my system and phone" type questions by my friends.
I'm not familiar with the new AnyNet modules, but I see that they do have an RS232 interface. If the Elk passes through full Contact ID data through that, then we would receive it from Uplink. Otherwise, or for anyone else who isn't using the serial interface, we would just receive signals relating to the standard four inputs that all Uplink units have, which can be configured to send us four different signals.tuantu said:
Short answer: I don't know, but it's likely

Can you provide some kind of time frame for this being available ?
I am in the process of bring my Elk online and would wait if we are say in a 1 month wait.
Thanks Ben
