Reviews of abode

  • Good, nearly great

    I have been using the Abode app for a few years now. I’ve been happy with the price, service and stability of the system.

    There are two things that would improve the app to a five star for me:

    1) change the UX and naming to be more clear between “Standby” and “Home”

    This seems trivial, but no matter who I train to use this system, including myself, everyone always mistakes home for standby.

    In other words, when arriving home and turning off the alarm system, the natural tendency is to press the button marked Home. As in, “I am now at home.”

    However, this changes the alarm to the “stay” condition, so doing this will just make your alarm go off when you walk into the house!

    2) I tend to do self monitoring when I am home, and enable the more expensive monthly monitoring when I go on trips. This is a great feature and is the primary reason I went with the Abode system. However, you cannot make this change directly. You have to use the website. Again, it is simply more confusing than necessary.
  • Always sort reviews by “most recent” to watch for bait and switch

    I bought the alarm four years ago when it didn’t require a subscription. Unfortunately, it’s now $220/year to get notifications on your phone. That kind of bait and switch is usually a sign of a company that’s in a pricing death spiral, so probably best to look elsewhere for a security system. We’re replacing ours later this summer. Notice that in the developer’s response claiming that you do get notices without subscribing, they don’t mention what those notices say. The notice says “An Event Occurred”. That might be a water alarm caused by a broken pipe or it might just be a momentary network glitch (which happens regularly and isn’t their fault). All meaningful information is blocked unless you pay for a subscription. If you go into the app, the information about the alarm is blocked behind an offer to become a subscriber. No subscription=no information Don’t just take my word. Sort reviews by most recent and see how many others within the past year say the same thing.

    Developer Response

    You still get notifications to you phone with or without a plan. For detailed notification, these are included under the standard plan which starts at $6.99 per month, or $69.99/year. This has been in place for a number of years now.
  • HomeKit guy here

    The app does have a very smooth interface. I’ve found It’s using this app in combination with the Apple Home app that allows me to go a bit deeper on certain automations in settings which you just can’t do on the HomeKit side alone. Everything sinks automatically (except for cameras) from the Abode app to HomeKit. (I don’t use Abode cameras). When you do need to jump over to the Abode app and check on something or set up a new device it’s seamless and easy. I currently currently have 12 devices/sensors in my set up with the top model “Abode Security System hub” which has built-in battery back up and ethernet port. Love the keypad way nicer than Eufy or anything else I’ve seen her used in the past. I do wish Abode would adopt all four options as in HomeKit “Home, Away, Night, Off” like Aqara has. Five stars on not just the app but Abode overall. If you’re in HomeKit and need a security system this is the no-brainer go to.
