Yes, people are really going for this. I call it end point selling.
You just show them the Alarm.com app with the Cameras, Thermostats, and
Locks, and the Security Arm/Disarm and it pretty much sells itself if
you are just doing
basic automation. Not a Crestron client. Vivint is in our area and
selling a lot of them. We are also dealers of 2Gig and just getting
going with it in a separate security company under our umbrella.

Are people going for this? Absolutely. Vivint hasn't made it out to my
market, yet, but it's only a matter of time. They use the 2GIG security
panels and I for one think they're great, for what they are. They bring
home automation to a customer who isn't even on Crestron's radar. Their
thermostats are (retail-wise) $250, their light switches can be had on
Amazon for ~$50, their cameras are ~$200.
Vivint is making an ABSOLUTE MINT with this stuff. A poorly-trained
monkey could install it, it's really that easy. Imagine just 1,000
account at $60 a month. I'll let you do the math.

This is the first I've seen of it, but it looks like a pretty
terrible deal.
Their basic energy management package gives you a smart thermostat,
12 light bulbs, and a switch for an appliance for $60/month. You could
buy all that outright in a few months.
If people are going for this, I'm in the wrong market.
