![]() The towering unit itself is about an inch shorter than the SimpliSafe base station in our SimpliSafe review, but within its relatively small frame, abode managed to include a security camera. What really sets the iota Hub apart is the camera. Your iota will connect to your mobile app through Wi-Fi, so I hope your network is stable! You can also use it to connect with devices using Z-wave or Zigbee, and you can control it with your voice via Google Assistant or Amazon Alexa. The iota is your gateway, motion sensor, and security camera built into one. However, if you’re looking for more sensors, cameras, motion sensors, or smart home devices, abode has other add-on options on their website. The basic iota system comes with an iota, a key fob, and a mini door/ window sensor. What’s in the abode iota System? abode iota System Components And in that sense, the most advanced option is the iota Hub, which is what I tested. So really, all we’re comparing here are the central devices. The beauty of all this is that even though there are three different systems, they all use the same components except for the hub. Instead, for home automation, it relies on partnerships with Alexa and Google Assistant. Feature-wise, it’s similar to the Smart Security hub, but without Apple HomeKit, Z-Wave, and Zigbee compatibility. You would think that because it’s the newest, this is their most advanced system yet. Lastly, in May 2023, abode introduced the Security Hub. In terms of everything else, it’s just like the Smart Security Hub. I say that because the hub itself has a built-in camera and motion sensor, and it’s also Wi-Fi-ready unlike the older hub that requires an ethernet cable.

It was built around the Smart Security Hub (which was called the Gateway Hub back then), which is a hub that connects to abode equipment, as well as Z-Wave, Zigbee, and Apple HomeKit products. Well that’s normal since 2014, abode has released three different home security options and even I get confused about these options from time to time.Ībode’s first security system launched in 2014. I’ve mentioned that this review is about iota, but if you’re new to abode, you’re still probably curious about the significance of that. ![]()
