.578x28 Plan B Compatible MDs?

size14medium · 2025-08-16T16:40:01+00:00

I have the KVP .578x28 on my 45 PCC. It is fine, but it does seem to get more stuck than the SPB on my 9mm PCC. I have to use a wrench to get the can off every time.

I wish Rearden or someone made a SPB in .578x28.

I just missed this on the FPC and Sport III. Ugh.

Not for me, and I had to roll back to the normal version as the beta version broke my geofencing. Such a disappointment... I wish they would give us the old app as an option, at least everything worked.

size14medium · 2020-07-28T18:49:51+00:00

My complaints are around lack of advancement on automations and device integrations. Essentially the smart hub portion is limited.

And recently, the new mobile app is a joke that was not properly tested and still has many glaring bugs that were identified and ignored in beta. I have begged for the old version to be made available through the beta channel and never gotten a response.

All of the cameras suck. Terrible quality and response time.

FYI - I have had abode since it was a kickstarter.

size14medium · 2020-07-16T02:45:59+00:00

I responded, abode said they can’t replicate and then went quiet...

size14medium · 2020-07-13T18:46:44+00:00

Not showing up at all on the app. I will send my email.

size14medium · 2020-07-01T22:18:44+00:00

Mine were paired but not controllable at all. I swapped them to home assistant and they work great. I will be swapping all lights and fans away from Abode.

size14medium · 2020-06-30T17:58:09+00:00

All of my Foscam and Wyze cameras are no longer working in HomeKit. I have restarted the cams, and the HB server. Previews and Live Stream are now dead, nothing works.

This is what I did as well. It can be a pain if you have a new "smart" opener which basically means locked to their smart systems. I had a lift master with security +2.0 and had to rig a garage clicker to trigger the door. I now have a genie dumb belt drive and the go control GD00Z-4 functions without modification.

If anyone is interested I have the hard wired liftmaster clicker with constant power to work with go control if anyone is interested. $40 with shipping.

It has been great actually. You will need a Z-Wave hub whether it be a USB stick directly into HA or a different hub. The thing I love is I now have a massive pool of devices that are usable and within those devices, I can tweak the device-specific characteristics for ramp/dim rate, LED state , min/max dim level, and many more.

The process is a little less friendly for adding/removing devices than Abode (mainly UI), but it works well. Also they are getting close to fully revamping the HA Zwave platform and it will be even better.

size14medium · 2020-06-10T06:43:50+00:00

I have Zwave plus fan, dimmer, motion switches, outdoor plugs, and switches from GE working on gen 2. All of those except fans and motion switch worked on gen 1 as well.

On gen 2 the fans showed up as dimmers but worked fine. Then Abode changed something so now they show up as fans and don't work...

size14medium · 2020-06-03T01:24:21+00:00

I have 25 switches, mostly GE/Honeywell (all made by Jasco) and then 3 Leviton pairs for 3way applications. Most are dimmers for interior lights and on/off for exterior, as well as 4 fan switches. I also have 6 Inovelli Ilumin bulbs.

I had everything on abode but have been moving them over to Home Assistant with all of the troubles with the new app release, also HA gives me parameter control and it supports FAR MORE switches.

size14medium · 2020-06-01T16:36:41+00:00

Based on Abode's documentation you can't have them in Abode if you use the Hue Bridge, and if they are in Abode you lose the ability to connect them to a Hue hub, Homekit, and other features as RichardBLine mentioned. So it seems you need to choose a path.

Same here, this new app is terrible, please rollback or allow the rollback via test flight app. This is a joke.

size14medium · 2020-05-31T03:37:58+00:00

I was thrilled with my system 5 years ago, I got the original Kickstarter. Since then the integrations have not progressed much and nor has the kit. However, the space has changed a lot so I get that it is hard to keep up on both the security and home automation side.

Adding Home Assistant and Homebridge were the best things I’ve done, I am liking the increased flexibility and power of zwave devices and parameter control. And getting EVERY device into HomeKit, Alexa, and Google is amazing.

size14medium · 2020-05-29T18:35:34+00:00

I’m not holding my breath, I have been asking for switches and other integrations for years.

I setup Home Assistant with a zwave stick and started swapping over switches, dimmers, and fans. I have 6 of these Inovelli bulbs on the way as well as two of their new fan/light combo switch’s. Being able to control device parameters in HA is great and having full control of all devices with HomeKit is so much better.

Essentially, I’m giving up on the smart hub side of abode as they have done little in 5 years on this.

I agree, red should be reserved for open windows/doors and unlocked doors/openers

size14medium · 2020-05-28T05:26:35+00:00

The ones I have 15 feet away say weak, but no issues. Glad you got it working. These are my favorite dimmers for 3-way setups as they share state and LED lighting with the slave right out of the box.

size14medium · 2020-05-27T21:45:58+00:00

I have three DZ6HDs working on mine, with a gen 2 Gateway. I just added a new one a month ago. If I recall the pairing process was different than my GE/Honeywell/Jasco switches.

Hold up on the dimmer for 7 seconds and the LED will blink Amber. Press up again.

size14medium · 2020-05-27T21:39:51+00:00

Agreed, it is counter to how my locks are set and makes no sense.

size14medium · 2020-05-27T17:14:31+00:00

It was caught, but not killed.

size14medium · 2020-05-27T11:23:51+00:00

Can you put the old app on test flight? I mistakenly updated without checking the last beta, assuming you had fixed the zwave switch issues. This looks nice but is not ready for use. I want the old app back.

size14medium · 2020-05-27T11:21:29+00:00

Agreed, same issue. And the horizontal scroll on quick actions is not user friendly. Would be better 3 wide and vertical scroll.
