Surprisingly smooth setup

InstallationI downloaded this just before heading out on a week-long cottage trip, half expecting glitches. Signing up was oddly charming and stupidly simple — two clicks and done, no drama. I was a bit sceptical about the free tier, but it handled the "pretend I'm home" trick perfectly. Account details arrived instantly and when I messaged support they answered quickly, which calmed me down. Also, delivery by email was spot on, no waiting. If I need more data later I'll probably upgrade, no fuss.
