Hmm:
Devoted Guardian (Su): A guardian daemon that agrees to protect an object is mystically bound to it. Until it completes its term or service or is released from its agreement, it may not move more than 270 ft from the object it guards.
The summoning danger sounds like the text in the normal summon yugoloths ability, don't you think? This could potentially go into flavor. Though if they can gate in to attack, I guess we should give them plane shift or gate or something!
Racial bonuses to Spot and Listen are good. Always-on see invisibility also sounds good, not so sure about detect magic.

The summoning thing's basically folded up into the planar ally spells. Perhaps mention that guardian daemons take offense to unconvincing summoners, and attack if the Cha check is failed?

Yes, planar binding.

Yep, great solution!
For the devoted guardian, wanna bump it up to a more round number like 300 feet (or even 300 yards like the dryad's tree dependent ability)?
Also, we should note what happens if one is forced outside its range. Does it immediately teleport back, as if a word of recall were cast, or does it suffer damage, etc.?

Here's a test run:
Devoted Guardian (Su): A guardian daemon that agrees to protect an object is mystically bound to it. Until it completes its term or service or is released from its agreement, it may not move more than 300 ft from the object it guards. If the daemon is forced outside that range, it is instantly teleported back to a designated area within 5 ft of the treasure, as if by a word of recall spell.
