DIY home security vendor abode releases an update on Google Assistant integration enabling full support for the voice assistant, allowing customers to fully control abode alarms through Google Assistant-enabled devices.
Previously abode Google Assistant integration was limited to controlling lighting, switches and plugs. The updated integration, on the other hand, provides voice control of all aspects of the abode system, including lighting, locks, streaming cameras, door and window sensors and garage door openers, as well as arming and disarming the system.
Customers can disarm the abode system using the commands "Ok Google, arm abode to away mode" and "Ok Google, disarm abode." Disarming the system via voice also requires a 4-6 digit verification code. When home, customers can ask Google Assistant for the status of the abode system, and issue a voice command to change alarm status.
