## Description

desertcart.com: Abode Iota All-in-One Security Kit with Integrated Camera, Alarm, Key Fob, Motion & Door/Window Sensors - DIY Installation - Optional Professional Monitoring - Works with HomeKit, Alexa & Google Home : Electronics

Review: Great if/when it functions properly - I've had this plus additional hardware for a year, and it's never been 100% functional. For many months the main issue was that anytime I streamed live video the Abode app would disable the mic on my Galaxy 10s. That meant that if my cameras were triggered and I needed to speak with police or the Abode monitoring team I was unable to use my phone. To regain the use of my phone mic I would have to restart the phone. A few weeks ago the above issue was resolved, but since then none of my five cameras record/report video when motion occurs. I can manually record when using live video feed from the dashboard on the Abode app but not when using the record button for each camera accessed via the "device" screen. I've been working with the Abode techs for many months and I'm quickly running out of patience. They seem like nice, sincere people and I wish them well however if the system can't be made to work properly I will have to switch to a competitor.
Review: So Far So Good - I purchased the Abode IOTA Security System since it was compatible with Apple Homekit (I have a highly automated home) and they offered professional monitoring services. The installation was simple and I use the system using my current WIFI network. I have presently have three door sensors and one fire alarm monitor and I will be soon installing 5 glass break monitors to go with the system. The system integrated very well with homekit and I was able to incorporate the various alarm states into my automations. The geofencing works well though if you are using multiple phones you must insure that every member of the family that has a phone goes ahead and creates a separate login and password for your Abode account. I have also tested the monitoring service by testing the smoke alarm and the response was extremely quick and all individuals who were listed to be notified in case of an alarm, were notified promptly. Technical support is via online chat or email only. Had to use them twice due to errors on my part, but the response was good. Email response was about an hour and chat response was within 5 minutes. All problems were resolved. I will try to write a follow up review in a few months after using the system for awhile, but as of now, so far so good.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does the system have a setting to "chime" every time a door or window is opened?**
A: Yes, it sounds chime when door / window sensor is opened. You can also mute it if you want.

**Q: I don't have full time wifi at this location can alarm still transmit over a cellular line?**
A: The abode system uses the customers internet router for its primary communications link to access the abode server and to communicate to the abode Mobile and web apps.
The abode gateway must always be connected to your router using an Ethernet cable. The gateways built in cellular back up radio service (if enable) will switch on if your homes internet service is temporarily lost, and reconnect the gateway to the internet using its own cellular radio, restoring all of the functionality to your abode mobile and web app. The gateway cell uses ether 3G AT&T or T- Mobile, (Whichever one has the best signal).
Once the homes internet service is restored, then the gateway switches off its cellular service.

**Q: How secure is the streaming feed? Besides the “screen shots” when motion is detected, is there an option to record? An option to record during live?**
A: Our system is fully encrypted and very secure. When an alarm is triggered, our 1080p streaming camera will record a 30-second clip for your review. You also have the ability to record 30-seconds clips on-demand with the touch of a button on the mobile or web app. These clips can be viewed on the web or mobile app OR viewed, downloaded and/or deleted on the web app. Hope that helps! Let us know if you have any other questions. :)

**Q: Is this a Gen 1 or Gen 2 abode device?**
A: This is the first and only version of iota, but internal specifications match the Gen 2 abode gateway with Z-Wave Plus and 4G cellular radio.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works with HomeKit (for the most part?)
*by U***N on August 12, 2022*

I wish this had integration with HomeKit Secure Video like my Logitech doorbell/cameras do. Unfortunately, most of the configuring and viewing has to be done through the app itself, and of course they want you to pay monthly fees, which irks me to no end. If I had to do this again, I would find another product for my needs. That being said, if they add secure video, it'll be right as rain. The door/window sensors seem to be working well, and the automations through HomeKit are decent, so it definitely works. I just wish it was more "seemless" and I could review video footage, etc. through the Home app on my Apple devices.
