The `abode` component will allow users to integrate their Abode Home Security systems into Home Assistant and use its alarm system and sensors to automate their homes.
Please visit the [Abode website](https://goabode.com/) for further information about Abode Security.
There is currently support for the following device types within Home Assistant:
- [Binary Sensor](/components/binary_sensor.abode/): Reports on `Door Contacts` (open or close) and `Motion Camera` (motion detected or not)
- [Alarm Control Panel](/components/alarm_control_panel.abode/): Reports on current alarm status and can be used to arm/disarm the system
The component currently polls every 30 seconds, so device status may not be immediately reflected in Home Assistant.
An `abode` section must be present in the `configuration.yaml` file and contain the following options as required:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
abode:
username: abode_username
password: abode_password
```
Configuration variables:
- **username** (*Required*): Username for the Abode account.
- **password** (*Required*): Password for Abode account.
