Abode expands smart security with new outdoor and garage sensors

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Abode has introduced two new sensors, the Garage Tilt Sensor and the Outdoor Contact Sensor, to enhance its smart home security system. These sensors are designed for external use and areas where traditional indoor sensors are not suitable, such as garage doors, gates, and sheds. Both sensors integrate with Abode's system and are also compatible with Apple Home, Amazon Alexa, and Google Home, offering broader smart home integration. The Garage Tilt Sensor detects angular changes, while the Outdoor Contact Sensor is built to withstand harsh environmental conditions with an IP66 rating and a larger activation gap. AI
