Abode Systems has expanded its DIY smart home security solutions with the debut of the Abode Apple TV app, completing the Abode app ecosystem, along with a release of an upgraded version of its app for Android TV. Both the Abode Apple TV and Android TV apps are available now in their respective app stores.
“With the release of the Apple TV app and expanded Android TV app, we’ve completely rounded out the Abode app ecosystem,” said Chris Carney, CEO and founder of Abode Systems. “Abode customers can now control and manage their home security and smart devices from anywhere, regardless of device. Whether customers are leveraging their phones, watches, tablets, computers, and now their TVs, the Abode experience is consistent and uniform across them all.”
With the Abode Apple TV app, Abode users can access their complete smart home and security ecosystem via their Apple TV for the first time. The Abode Apple TV app delivers the same intuitive interface and powerful features as other platforms, allowing users to arm and disarm their system, view live video feeds from up to four cameras, and check device status – directly from their TV of choice.
Abode Apple TV App Features
Users can sign in to the Abode Apple TV app using their Apple device or manually, offering easy access to their security dashboard. Additional features include:
- Supports recorded clip viewing.
- Displays the status of connected devices.
- Control select devices via “quick actions” which are managed via Abode CUE and displayed on the dashboard.
- If cameras with 24/7 recording are enabled, users can access stored footage by scrubbing through their timeline or jumping to specific events.
- With the 24/7 add-on enabled, all footage is securely stored in the cloud for up to ten days, ensuring users never miss important moments.
- Abode’s 24/7 Video Plan is offered as an add-on and requires users to be on either the Standard Plan or Pro Plan.
Alongside the Apple TV release, Abode reintroduced a next-generation version of its Android TV app which offers Android TV users a comparable experience to the Apple TV app with slight differences in menu layout and functionality. The app provides a seamless, fully integrated smart home experience that allows users to control their Abode system and connected devices directly from their Android TV, including allowing users to stream live video from up to four cameras side by side, with the ability to view timelines, access recorded clips and manage select devices.
