Does RI Home Security only send notifications for alarms?

No. RI Home Security sends notifications for alarms and for sensor activity (i.e., disarmed sensor activity).

Unlike most systems, Alarm.com is completely customizable. The customer decides which types of events they want to know about and how Alarm.com should notify them. Alarm.com can send an e-mail, text message, or push notification when, for example, the kids get home from school, the housekeeper arrives, the system is armed or disarmed, or if it appears the kids are throwing a party while the parents are out of town.

For more information about creating or editing notifications, see Create/edit a notification.
