Abode Systems
Abode Systems is a Home Security & Cameras company founded in 2014 and based in San Francisco, United States. It has raised $20.9M in total funding, most recently a Majority stake acquisition in 2018.
Founded in 2014 by former ADT executive Christopher Carney and launched on Kickstarter in 2015, San Francisco-based Abode Systems sells self-installed, no-contract home security with optional professional monitoring and a strong focus on smart-home interoperability — its Iota all-in-one gateway was billed as the first DIY security system to gain Apple HomeKit compatibility, and the platform also works with Alexa, Google Home, Z-Wave, Zigbee, and Matter. Italian home-and-building-automation group Nice S.p.A. acquired a 75% majority stake in Abode for $18.75 million in April 2018, but the company continues to operate independently under its own brand and leadership, with the founders retaining the remaining equity. Abode positions itself as the choice for users who want monitored DIY security that integrates deeply with the rest of their connected home rather than a closed ecosystem.
Abode is one of the most interoperability-friendly DIY security platforms — an early HomeKit and Matter adopter — giving smart-home enthusiasts monitored security that plays well with other ecosystems.
