Certainly with the most recent ETH03, you can get the UCM to send emails to report any selection of something like 30-odd Comfort events, which certainly includes arm and disarm events... I currently do this for about a dozen different events.
With Arm report emails, it states the date/time and by what means the arm event was triggered - e.g. keypad or response. With disarm events, it gives the user name (if you've filled in the names fields) for up to 4 users.
I also have a UCM-GSM, and this also sends SMS messages to my mobile in response to the same events, although in my case the UCM has a PAYG SIM installed, and I seem to be forever letting the credit run out and not bothering to top it up again for many weeks...
I think either of these methods would be 'preferable' to using Core, - since the core method requires and depends on connectivity to the ST cloud... - if your broadband goes offline for any reason, your rules don't run and you get no notifications... using a UCM-ETH or GSM keeps everything local - obviouy the same caveat applies to the ETH option - no broadband means that won't work either, but the GSM method is immune to that vulnerability...
