Device groups let you organize your Abode devices into collections such as Living Room, Upstairs, or Garage. By default, devices are grouped by type. You can create any grouping structure that suits your home. Group preferences are set per user, so each person on your account can have their own layout.
Creating a new device group
1. In the Abode app, tap the Devices tab.
2. Tap the + icon at the top right.
3. Tap Add Group.
4. Select a preset room name, or scroll down and tap Custom to enter your own group name.
5. Select the devices you want in this group. Each device can only belong to one group at a time.
6. Tap Done. Your new group will appear in the Devices tab.

Device Faults group
When a device has a fault, it is automatically placed into a Device Faults group shown as an exclamation mark at the top of the Devices tab. This group only appears when there are active faults. Once all faults are resolved, the icon disappears.

2. Tap the Settings cog icon.
