Your Abode Hub uses LED lights to communicate its current status. This guide covers both the Iota Hub and the Security Hub so you always know exactly what your system is doing.
Iota Hub LED guide
During different modes, the LED ring on the Iota changes color to show the current system state.

White fade | Standby (disarmed), no issues |
White solid | Armed in Home mode |
Blue solid | Armed in Away mode |
Amber solid | Alarm triggered |
Red flashing | System fault detected |
Green and white fade | Pairing mode active |
Green pulse | Alarm in memory. Arm then disarm to reset |
Red and white fade | Reset in progress. Arm then disarm to clear |
Security Hub LED guide
The Security Hub has three LED lights on the top of the enclosure just below the Abode logo. In Standby mode with no issues, all LEDs remain off.
LED state | System status |
Off (all LEDs) | Standby mode, no faults |
LED 2 soft red, short repeating flash | Armed in Home mode |
LED 2 soft red, steady | Armed in Away mode |
LED 1 bright red, steady | Alarm in memory. Arm in Away or Home mode, wait 1 minute, then disarm to reset |
LED 1 bright red, flashing | System is actively alarming. Disarming will turn off this LED |
LED 1 bright orange, steady | Fault detected. See common causes below |
What a steady orange LED means
An orange LED on the Security Hub indicates a fault. Here are the most common causes:
• Internet connection is down. An offline event will appear in the app Timeline
• Hub battery is low or the battery switch is in the OFF position
• One of your devices has a low battery. Check the app Timeline for details
• A device has lost wireless communication with the Hub. Look for an offline or device missing event in the Timeline
✓ | TIP Open the Abode app and check the Timeline whenever you see an orange LED. The fault will be described there with the information you need to resolve it. |
