About this app

The abode app gives you complete peace of mind when it comes to your security by allowing you to arm & disarm, view live and recorded video, get a timeline history of your system, and receive immediate security alerts all right from your phone or tablet. It’s your security at your fingertips.

EASY SETUP
abode’s starter kits are incredibly easy to set up using our app. Simply open your kit and app and follow the guided instructions to be up & running in under 30 minutes.

DASHBOARD
Your system at a glance. The dashboard allows you to arm & disarm, pull up live video, view your most recent timeline events, and run quick actions all without leaving this screen.

CUE HOME AUTOMATION
Create powerful automations with your connected devices. From turning on lights and raising thermostats for your morning routine to arming your system and locking your doors for bedtime, you can do it all right from the app.

EXPAND YOUR SYSTEM
Much like the setup process, adding new devices to your system couldn’t be easier via the app. Just follow the guided instructions and build out the system of your dreams in minutes.

CUSTOMIZABLE NOTIFICATIONS
Determine what you’d like to receive notifications for. From doors opening & closing to water leaks detected, how much (or little) you are alerted to is totally up to you.

SET UP WIDGETS
Add arming & disarming and quick actions to your widgets so you can quickly take care of your most important actions without ever having to open the abode app.

PUT YOUR SYSTEM ON AUTOPILOT
Use your phone’s location to automatically arm and disarm your system as you come and go. Set up the locations important to you and let abode do the rest.

WEAR OS
Abode also offers a Wear OS app which allows you to control many of your system functions from your Wear OS watch.

Ratings and reviews

Not impressed with it. It is over-complicated and not at all intuitive. Also is somewhat unstable. Hub drops off line and needs to be power-cycled to reconnect. And yes, my wi-fi strength is more than adequate. Temp-humidity-motion detector readings disappeared after working for a few hours. Bought this product to monitor a remote location. Not sure if I will continue to use and expand as originally planned.

UPDATE: That fixed it. Thank you. I've been using Abode for several years now and have been badly with the system and app. Until recently.. now I can't open the app on my phone. Still works from my watch but when I attempt to open ut from my phone I get the following error message, "Something went wrong with Abode Abode closed because this app has a bug Try updating this app after its developer provides a fix for this error." Abode, this has been going on for a few weeks now. Fix it.

I've never been able to get any of the cameras to connect even though I've followed all the instructions. It's also now essentially useless unless you get the paid subscriptions. The "self-monitoring" free version just says there was an event with no details. Definitely going to look into some other system because this one is useless
