The abode integration will allow users to integrate their Abode Home Security systems into Home Assistant and use its alarm system and sensors to automate their homes.

Please visit the Abode website for further information about Abode Security.

There is currently support for the following device types within Home Assistant:

• Alarm Control Panel: Reports on the current alarm status and can be used to arm and disarm the system.
• Binary Sensor: Reports on Quick Actions, Door Contacts, Connectivity sensors (remotes, keypads, and status indicators), Moisture sensors, and Motion or Occupancy sensors.
• Camera: Reports on Camera devices and will download and show the latest captured still image.
• Cover: Reports on Secure Barriers and can be used to open and close the cover.
• Lock: Reports on Door Locks and can be used to lock and unlock the door.
• Light: Reports on Dimmer lights and can be used to dim or turn the light on and off.
• Switch: Reports on Power Switch devices and can be used to turn the power switch on and off. Also reports on Automations set up in the Abode system and allows you to activate or deactivate them.
• Sensor: Reports on Temperature, Humidity, and Light sensors.
