Abode Security and SmartThings via IFTTT

Gotcha, thanks.

I would have PM’d you but I just registered and it won’t let me yet. After reading this thread, it seams like you have a lot of experience with Abode and ST. I am brand new here and I have just ordered my Abode. I am doing some research and I have one question. I also bought a schlage connect and I plan on using a ST hub to control that lock. The reason I am not just going to use the Abode to lock the doors and unlock is because it will limit my ability to manage codes remotely. I need to be able to set code schedules for certain days and I want to get an alert when a code is used. The best way I have found to do this is with ST and a lock manager app from GitHub. I was hoping I can use IFTTT to from Abode to also lock door when I arm the Abode system while still using the ST hub to control the lock. Is this possible? I thought you might be able to help. Thanks

@SBDOBRESCU I finally just placed my order for Abode. Is there any advantage of using a Virtual Switch with Smartthings/IFTTT to arm/disarm Abode as compared to just using the native presence sensor capabilities of Abode from their mobile app?

I know one thing is when I turn off my TV via Harmony, it puts the home in Standby mode in Simplisafe. I can do that with IFTTT and Abode…

Congrats on making the switch. 'bout time :slight_smile: … I used webCore to sync modes between Abode and SmartThings, I am not a fan of virtual switches.

You can certainly do the Harmony/Abode iftttt recipe to set your home to stand by.

Thanks. Do you mind sharing your piston restore codes with me? I’d like to take a look.
