In early 2017, I reviewed Abode, a smart home security system that you build yourself and set up however you want it. I found it to be very straightforward and surprisingly versatile, with a hint of that “it just works” magic. Now, over two years later, Abode has evolved.
There are two big things that have changed in the years since I first reviewed the Abode system. The first is a new hub unit called iota, and the second is full HomeKit compatibility. Abode is particularly proud of that last point, and they probably should be considering it’s the first DIY smart home security system to actually get approved for HomeKit.
