Anyone have experience with access or sasktel for home security? Looking for a reasonably-priced smart system that can be accessed remotely and has peripherals like door/window sensors, themostat, temperature sensor and water sensor. Any other companies we should consider? Thanks guys!

We have had Sasktel for about 3 years now. We are pretty happy with it aside from the original installer, do not get Jump.ca to do the install! We have a pretty small house and had issues starting a couple months in with one of our door sensors disconnecting from the main panel and triggering a tamper alarm. The sensor in question is about 20 feet from the panel with a clear line of sight. This happened at least 4 times while I was at work over the course of a year, and had Jump out each time to “fix” it. Had to get a service provider reassignment. Once that happened the guy from the new company came once, replaced the panel and haven’t had a problem since.
I will also add that I have heard nothing but bad things about Vivint.
Forget SaskTel. Check out the Wyze home automation ecosystem. It’s the bees knees.

A lot of DIY systems out there. Your insurance agency might give you a discount, the ones I talked to want a monitored system
I believe both access and Sasktel use alarm.com for the system. Sasktel is a dealer and a provider via securtek. other securtek dealers out there as well.
