Installation instructions
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.
Factory reset Smart Gateway
2.6 Reset Alarm.com Z-Wave device to default state
This process will clear all nodes from the Alarm.com Z-Wave device’s network, change the Alarm.com ZWave device’s home ID, and reset all Z-Wave settings to their default values. To perform a Z-Wave reset, follow these steps:
1. Log into the Partner Portal at https://alarmadmin.alarm.com/default.aspx and select a customer.
2. Navigate to the “Equipment” page.
3. Click the “Z-Wave Devices” tab.
4. Under the “Advanced Z-Wave Commands” header, click “Remove All Z-Wave Devices.”
5. Allow 3 minutes for the associated commands to go through and for the Alarm.com Z-Wave
device to act on them.
If this controller is the primary controller for your network, resetting it will result in the nodes in your network being orphaned and it will be necessary after the reset to exclude and re-include all the nodes in the network. If this controller is being used as a secondary controller in the network, use this procedure to reset this controller only if the network primary controller is missing or otherwise inoperable.
