Connect Abode to hundreds of apps and services using IFTTT

Written by Alex S

IFTTT (If This Then That) gives you creative control over popular apps, devices, and services. With the Abode channel on IFTTT, you can interact with and control other channels based on Abode device statuses, alarm modes, and more.

IFTTT works by connecting channels together with custom recipes that you define. Once you have an IFTTT account and an Abode account, you can authorize the Abode IFTTT channel to perform actions based on events in your home. For example: if an alarm activates, you can instruct IFTTT to send a notification, post to a social channel, or turn on smart lights.


What You Need to Get Started

• An active Abode account connected to an Abode hub (Iota or Security Hub)

• An IFTTT account

• A successful account link at IFTTT.com granting access to both Abode and IFTTT

Setup Guide

Head to the Abode channel at IFTTT (https://ifttt.com/abode) and tap the "Connect" button. You can also browse popular recipes that other users have created to get started quickly.

Using IFTTT to Trigger Abode Quick Actions

Once connected, you can use IFTTT to trigger Abode quick actions, such as arming or disarming your system, based on triggers from other connected services.
