Our verdict

A hands-on way to arm and disarm an abode system at the door with named codes, but it does nothing without the abode hub.

Overview

Arming and disarming an abode security system from the front door is what this keypad does, showing system status as you walk past. It doubles as a motion sensor in Away mode and hangs on a magnetic plate, so no wiring is needed.

Named PIN codes show exactly who armed or disarmed the system, which helps families and short term rentals. It works only with an abode hub, and the battery needs a recharge every few months.

Who it's for

Families, renters and hosts who hand out codes to cleaners or guests can track each person's entries. Owners of other security systems will find it does not connect.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Named codes show who armed the system
  • Works as a motion sensor
  • Backlit buttons for dark entries
  • Rechargeable, no disposable batteries
Cons
  • Needs an abode hub
  • Not water resistant
  • Battery needs periodic recharging

Performance notes

Status appears when the built-in motion sensor sees someone approach, which also lets the keypad trigger the alarm in Away mode. Battery runtime depends on how often it wakes for passersby, and the magnetic plate lets it come off the wall for charging.
