FAQ
Can I have Google Assistant call out when doors & windows are opened and/or closed?
As of right now, you cannot. We are hoping Google adds this functionality in the near future and we will be sure to enable it once they do.
Does this work with all Abode cameras?
Yes, it does.
Will it work with the outdoor/indoor smart camera at launch?
Yes, it will.
Can I utilize two-way voice on my Abode camera through my Google Assistant?
You cannot, two-way voice has to be done through the Abode App.
Can I record clips using my Google Assistant?
You cannot, clips have to be recorded automatically when an alarm is triggered, when a trigger you define for an automation occurs, or manually when you request a clip capture in the app.
Can I connect a device that works with Google Assistant but not Abode to my Abode system?
You cannot, only the devices called out on our compatibility page are able to be paired with your Abode system.
