You can now use your Google Assistant enabled device to interact with your Abode home security system. Using the Abode Smart Home action, you can:
- Arm and disarm your Abode home
- Ask Google if your Abode home is currently armed.
With the Abode Smart Home action, you can interact with your Abode home security system and Abode-connected devices by voice. You can arm and disarm your home as well as interact with devices including cameras, locks, lights, dimmers, switches, plugs, and garage doors.
Note:
a voice code is required for security sensitive commands such as disarming your Abode home, unlocking doors and opening garage doors. To enable, provide a voice code during account linking. You can always set or change you pin using the Abode Web App.
In order to use Google Assistant and Abode, you will need:
- Abode account with your username and password
- Abode Smart Security Kit or Abode Iota Security Kit
Hints:
Device names such as “Office Lamp” and “Bedroom Switch” are recommended over names such as “Off Lamp” or “John & James”.
