MY DOORBELL CAMERA IS OFFLINE. HOW CAN I FIX THIS?

More often than not, doorbells drop offline due to a change in the network settings of your homes WiFi. The network your doorbell was programmed to, is lost and has no means to reach the Alarm.com secured servers. In a few instances the doorbell can drop offline due to power fluctuations with the chime installed in the home. In many instances, the doorbell will automatically reconnect. If you find that in either instance your doorbell continues to have connectivity issues, you can follow the steps below to reinstate the doorbell to your system. Please note you will need the information from your homes WiFi network to complete these steps.

  1. Call Wired South office to have doorbell removed from your account

  2. Press and Hold the doorbell button for ~45sec to reboot the doorbell. The lights on the doorbell should flash Blue, then Yellow

  3. Open your Alarm.com app on your smartphone or tablet

  4. Scroll to the doorbell card, you should see a message that states your account is eligible for doorbell, but no doorbell has been enrolled. Press the “+” button at the top right corner of the screen to add your doorbell

  5. Follow the on-screen prompts to finish this procedure.

MY THERMOSTAT ISN'T WORKING, OR I CANNOT CONTROL MY THERMOSTAT VIA THE APP. HOW CAN I FIX THIS?

You can try power cycling your thermostat by removing it off the wall (pull straight off wall) and remove battery (if applicable). Reinstall battery and place unit back on its base. Many times, this will resync the device to the network. If you find this was unsuccessful, please submit request to Scheduling@WiredSouth.com for one of our team members to reset your Zwave network.
