Hello everyone, has anyone installed this Smart alarm system in your house? It automatically integrates into HomeKit but on homey there is nothing, does anyone know it and has managed to integrate it? Are any developers working on it in their spare time? Unfortunately, I don’t know how to write apps otherwise I would have started doing it. Thank you for your help

Google Home has an integration for Abode. Maybe that’s sn solution. Make virtual devices in Homey and synchronize with Google.
How
Can I create devices and link them to Google home? Can you help me? Thank you
You can link your devices in google home with homey, making a virtual device for every device in google home.
This link and my last reply explains how to manage this for a floor heating system. Should be the same i suppose for your devices.
I tried but it’s all very cumbersome. But it seems the only solution. Thank you
Hello, I’m also interested in integrating Abode in Homey. Has anyone tried with the controller for HomeKit app?
It might work, but I was wondering if somebody has any feedback on this, before trying myself (since unfortunately it requires to delete the alarm system from apple Home)
What things does it show in Apple home, so i can check upfront if the capabilities will be created in Homey (or at least should)…
Right now it should create homealarm_state, which you can select, issue with this is that homealarm_state is Homey system capability and it does not support Night Arm, for which I substitute partially armed.
0 ”Stay Arm. The home is occupied and the residents are active. e.g.
morning or evenings”
1 ”Away Arm. The home is unoccupied”
2 ”Night Arm. The home is occupied and the residents are sleeping”
3 ”Disarm”
And HAP-alarm-current
0 ”Stay Arm. The home is occupied and the residents are active. e.g.

2 ”Night Arm. The home is occupied and the residents are sleeping”
3 ”Disarmed”
4 ”Alarm Triggered”
Hello Martin,
thank you so much for reaching.
For what concerns the manufacturer app, the Abode system implements 3 main states: disarmed, partial, total. In homekit, this translates into disarmed=“not armed”, total=“away”, and partial is activated when either “night” or “at home” is selected in apple Home (redundancy not needed by me, it is simply how they implemented it).
From what you wrote, it should be already fine for me, as long as it is possibile from homey to activate the 3 main states of the Abode system. Getting back the alarm notification in Homey is nice-to-have but I don’t really need it for automations in my use-case. The notification from manufacturer app works fine.
Moreover, but I don’t really need this, from manufacturer app one can manually trigger the alarm or a silent alarm (like a panic button which does not trigger the sound alarm, but notify whoever has the manufacturer app).
The Abode station works as a bridge for all sensors (I have contact sensors at doors/window and movement sensors in some rooms). You pair them from within the app and communicate via Zigbee as far as I know. When you add the Abode station to apple Home you also see all the sensors (Hue bridge like). I would really want to have them exposed to Homey as well. Do you think this would already work with the current version of your app?
Looks like the station works like a gateway with the sensors connected to it. Only the station needs to be paired via Homekit I guess.
After you added the station and you add devices again it should show the sensors as well.
