What are all of the 24/7 subscription based central monitoring systems (e.g. for alarm and smoke/fire/flood etc) that can be tied into HA?
I will start - as I know of only 1. Yolink sensors work with a hub that is cloud based and the HA integration is through the cloud only. But, they are about to announce a new hub that is connected to the cloud AND locally connected. And there is a service called Virtualarm (flat rate of $9/month) that allows you to tie in some or all of your yolink sensors into the service. For Virtualarm you can select for all of your yolink sensors, either 24/7, logging only, or away. When a sensor is triggered Virtualarm will call you and if you are not available then they will call fire or police.
What other options are there that you folks would know for central monitoring of sensors in HA (please give an explanation of how each one works (cloud/local/direct/indirect etc.), thank you)?
May 10, 2026 Update: Before I could finish my setup I discovered the HA Noonlight integration was using an old version of their API which had very limited functionality. So I forked it and created "Noonlight Enhanced" based on their newer API - and this newer integration has all the functionality needed to complete the below work - hot off the presses! Enjoy!
Look in HACS there is a new (I think new) one called "noonlight". Noonlight can be called fro within HA so any sensor or whatever you like can essentially interface or be monitored with it (shelly relays, whatever - and they have three types of messages, police, fire and medical). I am moving away from virtualarm as they were bought out and are unreliable (and only worked with the yolink sensors). In my rearchitecture utrilizing chatgpt for coding expertise I have been able to build this out:
Alarmo integration
Z-Wave integration (for keypad only)
Zooz 800LR Z-Wave strick and USB extension cable
Ring Alarm Keypad V2 (NOT subscribed to Ring service, talks to HA Alarmo via Zwave with full functionality)
Noonlight for centralized monitoring
Twilio for immediate phone calls and texts for alarm testing and regardng leaks (leaks not centrally monitored on purpose)
Leak sensors - I immediately get a phone call -
Door, Window, motion, smoke and CO2 sensors all in Alarmo and interfaced indirectly* with noonlight monitoring service
*All activity is sent through a centralized script for any outside communication. This script pays attention to a input_helper.select (dropdown) called alarm_mode which has two values, "Test" and "LIVE". If the system is in "Test", a phone call is made instantly to me regarding every activity (arm, disarm, tripped, etc.) via Twilo, if the system is in "LIVE" mode then an enriched message with maximum details curated into proer english language is sent directly to noonlight.
Still in testing mode but everything is working perfectly....
Actually the integration needed considerable improvement, so I dove in!
Hot off the presses - Noonlight Enhanced! My unofficial Home Assistant custom integration for the Noonlight Dispatch API... based on the original Noonlight Home Assistant integration project and has been significantly extended to support modern Noonlight Dispatch API workflows, sandbox testing, Home Assistant event generation, webhook integrations, richer dispatch context, improved diagnostics, and advanced Home Assistant automation architectures.
