| Abode | Works Cloud | Recommended as self-monitored security system integrated into Home AssistantSaved copyUbiquiti for network gear Dahua Starlight IP cams Abode for self-monitored dedicated security system that can be integrated into HomeAssistant I run HomeAssistant in a docker on my QNAP NAS without issue. I also run couple of other dockerized services to connect with other hardware. I've had no issues so far. I also use QNAP's Surveillance Station for 24/7 recording of 4 DAHUA IP cams. IVS (smart tripwire/zone intrusion) events connect to HomeAssistant via MQTT for notifications and automations. Rock solid so far.

| Not named | Works | Works in Home Appears in HomeKit well through Home Assistant | Home Assistant gets it into HomeKit better than other optionsSaved copy… switches in HomeKit automations. Also my dyson air purifier seems to work a lot better in homebridge rather than home assistant. But Homeassistant gets my abode alarm system into HomeKit much better than anode does it natively. That’s all I’m really using it for at the moment. I’m just getting started tho so I’m sure I’ll find other things to use it for.

| HomeKit Device | Works Local | Works in Home Alarm state and sensors show in HA via HomeKit; triggered state reflected | Fully local through HomeKit integration; sensors and alarm panel visible in HASaved copyI use Abode as well as a good in-between of DIY and All-In-One. If you integrate it into Home Assistant using HomeKit the connection is 100% local. Abode's window, door and motion sensors all show up in Home Assistant allowing me to do automations with them and I can see/manage the alarm state. One fun automation setup was switching the alarm to "Home" mode if Roomba is running (found out it triggers the motion sensors otherwise).

| Not named | Works | Works in Home Works with HomeKit per user | Works with HA, Google; panic fobs available on requestSaved copyI got an abode system recently and I'm a big fan. Super great support, decent amount of sensor options and works with HA, HomeKit, Google, etc. They have fobs with panic buttons (you need to contact them to enable them for the fobs) but they also sell standalone panic buttons. Also has cell backup, battery backup, an ethernet port on the hub and an easy to use keypad. Super user friendly and plays well has my vote, but you do need cloud for the integration within HA.

In ReReHome
Once Home Assistant’s HomeKit Bridge shares it, this device reaches Apple Home as a HomeKit accessory behind your Home Assistant bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
