The Abode Smart Home Security Kit offers additional features to ensure reliable and uninterrupted operation. It includes a battery backup and cellular backup, safeguarding against power outages and enabling continuous monitoring. The system boasts a powerful 93dB siren and incorporates advanced detection capabilities for identifying people, packages, and pets within its range.
However, one drawback of the new system compared to Abode’s previous offerings is the lack of HomeKit integration. If users have built their smart home ecosystem using Apple’s Home app and rely on Z-Wave, Zigbee, and HomeKit compatibility, they will need to opt for Abode’s Smart Security Kit instead to retain those integrations.
