Changing Hubitat Mode when Abode is armed
One of the most useful features provided this driver is to update the Hubitat Mode to reflect the Abode alarm state.
This page covers how to adjust the mode based on Abode status. For information on creating and using Hubitat modes, see Hubitat's documentation:
- Hubitat Modes documentation
- Mode Manager documentation
- How to Set Modes and Use Hubitat Mode Manager - Video training
Go to the Abode driver and select a Hubitat Mode to be selected when Abode gateway mode changes to Away. This is not enabled by default--you must make a selection to enable this feature.
The exact same change is possible when Abode gateway mode changes to Home. You must make a selection to enable this feature.
There is a switch named your device name with -isArmed appended. You can make use of that switch for things like Mode Manager's Return from Away functionality.
- Open the Mode Manager app
- Click on Set mode with switches
- Enable Use time settings for Return from Away
- Select switches(OFF) for Return from Away: select your-Abode-device-isArmed
It will look like the following:
