The Abode app Dashboard is your home screen and can be personalized to show exactly what you use most. You can add, remove, and arrange four types of widgets to build the layout that works best for you.
The four Dashboard widget types
Widget type | What it shows |
Groups | A group of devices you have created, shown together for quick access |
Cameras | A live thumbnail from a camera for one-tap streaming |
Devices | An individual device for quick status checks or control |
Quick Actions | A manually triggered automation you can run with a single tap |
Adding widgets to your Dashboard
1. Make sure you are on the Dashboard tab at the bottom of the app.
2. Scroll to the bottom of the Dashboard and tap Edit Dashboard.
3. Tap the widget type you want to add and select the specific group, camera, device, or Quick Action you want to show.
4. Tap Done to save your layout.
Important notes about Dashboard customization
• Dashboard changes apply only to the device you are using. Each phone or tablet needs to be set up independently.
• If you delete and reinstall the app, your Dashboard layout will reset to the default and will need to be configured again.
• Groups and devices within groups are ordered alphabetically and cannot be manually reordered in the Devices tab. Groups on the Dashboard can be reordered using the Edit Dashboard function.
