    Use this procedure only in the event that the network primary controller is missing or otherwise inoperable.

    This resets the Hub to its factory settings.

    • Next, contact Alarm.com Customer Support to
    reinitialize the Hub.

    Support for the Wake Up command class is enabled using Alarm.com’s rules engine. This requires a series of rules pushed from the cloud when Alarm.com detects that a Wake Up device has been added to the Alarm.com Module.
     For this reason Wake Up notifications will only be handled properly by the Alarm.com module after any locally added Wake Up devices have been reported to the backend. This can take up to 15 minutes, but can be accelerated by using Remote Add or by requesting a Z-Wave Equipment List from the Alarm.com backend.
