As part of our release in December of 2017, we made significant changes to the Dashboard UI in the abode Web App.
This article provides an overview of those changes and provides a guide for finding functionality in the new interface.
Timeline and Devices Swap
As you can see in the image above, we swapped the Timeline and Devices sections. The Timeline maintains all of the same functionality as before, but has been moved to the right hand side. This was done in order to make room for an expanded Devices section that now allows you to group your devices together.
To learn how to group your devices, see the Grouping Devices page or click HERE for more information on the new features.
Live Video
You spoke, we listened. Thanks to the feedback of our users, we moved the Live Video feeds to their own page. You can access this new page by clicking the Live Video link from the left hand navigation.
If you have multiple Streaming cameras, you can use the buttons below to navigate between your cameras. Additionally, please notice the History section on the right shows video clips from the camera that you have selected.
Devices Interactions
Device Edit Dialog
To access the Device Edit dialog for any attached device, hover over the device icon until it changes to the Settings icon and then click +. This will bring up the Device Edit dialog for each device.

To delete a device, open the device’s Device Edit dialog and click Delete device.

The Add Device button is now located at the top of the Dashboard page.
