The good news: Abode lets you run your system without a monthly plan, and its hub keeps the alarm working locally. Its majority owner, Nice, is a large European home automation company.
The bad news: Abode is a small brand and shares little about its finances. The app and remote alerts still depend on Abode’s cloud.
If you own Abode
- Add Abode to Apple Home if your hub supports it, so you have a second way to control it.
- Keep the hub’s battery backup working, so the alarm runs during a power or internet outage.
