The Messages tab helps you stay up to date on important alerts, system updates, and other app-related communications. It's the third tab in the bottom navigation bar ( ), located to the right of the Settings tab. This feature will become more significant in future updates when notification capabilities are introduced. These updates will include smart alerts such as no motion detected for a specified period, or motion occurring during times when the home is usually inactive.
