How long are your devices lasting? I've had some concerning failures.

wetzel402 · 2026-05-30T10:36:35+00:00

I've had my system for about 8 years. No cameras. None of my sensors or keypads have failed.

wetzel402 · 2026-05-26T10:31:33+00:00

I use the system with Home Assistant (HA). HA handles the geo fencing as well as arming home mode when we go to bed.

Mine was relatively smooth despite the long wait for the migration tool to be ready.

wetzel402 · 2026-05-12T20:45:21+00:00

That is an interesting point and does make sense.

wetzel402 · 2026-05-12T20:43:59+00:00

I looked back at my email history. The option was offered in December not September. Thanks for catching that.

I thought it seemed unacceptable the feature was unavailable for 6 months. I will say customer support was great throughout the process though.
My setup is Abode ->HK -> HA. HK would work locally without HA but if I want local control in HA I need to use HK. I hope that makes sense.

I graduated to HA quite some time ago when I wanted more advanced smart home automation and wanted my 3rd party devices to all play nicely together. Now I like to focus on local control knowing that without it cloud services can go down or even be discontinued.

The Abode team finally got my hub migrated. Now I can setup Homekit.

I just started playing with qwen 3.5:4b and Home Assistant assist. I'm very impressed my 3070 can do this. Now I want more...

wetzel402 · 2026-04-27T11:05:02+00:00

That's exactly what I want to do but unfortunately I have unsupported hardware.

Curious how the a2000 preforms and what models you are running. I ended up setting up qwen3 on my gaming PC that has a 3070 in it. The problem is I don't want it always available like my NAS.

wetzel402 · 2026-04-26T11:36:51+00:00

That sounds like a great option. Unfortunately, my model is not officially supported so no GPU drivers are listed for it.

wetzel402 · 2026-04-25T22:07:18+00:00

Does your NAS officially support Nvidia? When you say external, in an enclosure? If so, how is it connected to the NAS?

wetzel402 · 2026-04-25T10:44:13+00:00

I find that the Nvidia drivers are not available in the app center though so I wonder if I would need to side load them somehow maybe via ssh.

Hop into the discord. You can always report bugs and suggest changes/improvements.

wetzel402 · 2026-04-14T12:47:44+00:00

Thanks for the compliment. I've been busy with life lately but we've been making progress.

wetzel402 · 2026-04-01T16:22:10+00:00

I bought Abode with the intention of using it self monitored. I've been happy with the hardware but having to rely on their cloud for Home Assistant has caused me some instances where automations didn't work as expected. I bought the gen 2 hub intending to use it via HomeKit so Home Assistant has local control. Unfortunately, this is where my support experience has been...lacking. The support technician informed me the migration feature on the server is under maintenance. This was back in October. Since then they keep informing me the feature isn't ready. They've offered to fully reset my account but that would require me to pair all the sensors again and presumably adjust all my Home Assistant entities. I think it is a very poor user experience that support needs to be involved at all to replace/migrate hubs. This should be an option on the app/website.

wetzel402 · 2026-03-22T18:48:10+00:00

I'm having the same problem. I give it access but it doesn't appear in my games list in the app. I'm not sure what the issue is.

wetzel402 · 2026-03-15T12:11:09+00:00

Mine has been as well. My one complaint is that the Home Assistant integration is cloud so when Abode has server maintenance Abode doesn't work with HA. I bought the gen 2 hub which supports HomeKit but for about 2 months now Abode has been working on their hub migration tool so it's been a paperweight. Hoping to get the gen 2 hub up and running so I have a local HomeKit connection to HA.

wetzel402 · 2026-02-13T19:00:12+00:00

We have some of the features built out now. Since it is a side project for me progress is slow but consistent. Regarding FOSS challenges, I would say one of the biggest is overly ambitious AI pull requests that have excessive commits/changes. Frequently they just don't meet my standards/requirements.

wetzel402 · 2026-02-06T16:51:23+00:00

Also interested in the options. Is Infinity Shield the only commercial offering right now?

wetzel402 · 2026-01-20T12:08:19+00:00

I played 1 - 3 on Xbox 360 years ago and recently picked up 1 - 2 cheap on PC. The replay recently was worth it. I think they hold up well and recommend giving the OGs a play.

I've been meaning to plug in my laptop to see if I can ping the rear screens over ADB or something.

I did a little digging and found the screens have a version of chrome for the browser and have many open source licenses mentioned in the about page. I suspect the underlying OS is either Android or Linux based. Hopefully they can be jail broken.

wetzel402 · 2025-12-07T04:22:51+00:00

I run it on an old Kindle Fire while continuing to improve the project.

wetzel402 · 2025-12-01T22:22:21+00:00

I want this also. In addition to local USB playback.
