abode Extends DIY, Contract-Free Home Security Solution that Works with Nest

    PALO ALTA, CA, August 12, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- abode (www.goabode.com), the innovative company that has built the world's first professional-grade DIY home security and automation offering with no long term contracts or required monthly fees, today announced that it now works with the Nest Learning Thermostat, Nest Cam Indoor security camera, and Nest Protect smoke and carbon monoxide (CO) alarm. Through the integration, the abode app can work with Nest products to extend the comfort, safety and security of an abode user's home by helping them make more accurate, real-time decisions around alarms.

When the abode alarm is activated, Nest Cam Indoor will begin recording. When Nest Protect detects smoke, users can notify their local fire department within the abode app. Users can automatically set their Nest Thermostat mode based on the abode home/away modes, helping them to save money on heating or cooling bills. The integration gives users a holistic view of the home, helping to provide greater peace of mind and enhanced safety. The integration also allows users to see information about their home's safety and security in one easy-to-use interface alongside other connected ZigBee, Z-Wave, and smart devices. Being able to access these smart devices in abode's app allows users to quickly make informed decisions and receive intuitive alerts.

"By working with Nest, we can offer a more comprehensive solution, that is professionally monitored. This integration helps our monitoring center to minimize false alarms and abode's app to provide immediate photos and videos in the event of a triggered alarm. Together, the abode Streaming Camera, Motion Camera, and Nest Cam Indoor seamlessly work to provide a complete view of activity occurring inside and outside of the home," said Chris Carney, CEO of abode. "As we continue to add new features and enhancements to our abode connected home platform, we will continue to build integrations with leading device manufacturers like Nest to provide customers with a smarter, more secure, and easy to use connected home experience."
