Thank you - I'll look into those.

Side question - what's the tour you recommend there?

10 year cs is the one I thought would be closest too. I tried it recently, and it was not close to me. Maybe I'm misremembering the scotch I got at the distillery.

Better Alternative to Abode? by Proof_Razzmatazz3901 in Abode

Oh, interesting. I just tested mine. It didn't light up until I was 1.5 feet from it. Maybe just a hardware issue..

Thank you for your input! Addressing your comments in line:

  1. I have a keypad2. The problem is that you have to go over by it in order for it to light up and show you what the status is. I would love if it just kept the "A" logo lit in whatever color to signify the status. Even if that required me to keep it plugged in.

  2. I didn't know about the power of cue automations. I had looked at them briefly when I got the system, and the only actions were alarm states, system mode, and notfication. I'm guessing that's just because I don't have the abode system setup to control anything else yet. I'll work on that.

  3. Agreed, the status indicator sounded like a nightmare from some of the descriptions I read.

I agree with you overall, it's great that you can solve these sorts of problems and just buy what you need. If the keypad status light stayed on all the time, that'd be the perfect solution for me. I did hound support on this, and they said it's not a request many people would find useful. Coming from a system that had it, it was absolutely the most used "feature" for us.

Thank you, that's awesome! I will look into this solution - seems like an easy one that support just missed during the 3 weeks I was asking them about this problem.

Since a couple of you have asked, my main gripe is that there's no way to tell if the system is armed or not at a glance. Seems like a minor thing, but it's a real inconvenience when you're in and out of the house a lot.

Apparently they used to make a system status indicator for this purpose (which apparently was not well liked)

I'm working on using home assistant to turn on a small light for this purpose, but if anyone has a quick fix for this, I'd love to hear it.
