Troubleshooting

If you are still having issues using the Alarm.com Smart Chime, please try the
following troubleshooting options:
Verify your Alarm.com Smart Chime is connected to your router’s Wi-Fi network
Check your Alarm.com
Smart Chime’s Router LED:
Router LED is off

If the LED is not illuminated, the connection to the router has been lost. Check your router to ensure that it is on. Next, try moving your Alarm.com Smart Chime closer to the router to confirm it is in range. If the connection is not re-established, try connecting your device to your Wi-Fi network using WPS mode. To reconnect via AP mode, follow the instructions listed in the AP Mode section.

Router LED is blinking
If the Router LED is blinking, there is a local connection to the router but internet connection. If you cannot access the Internet using your router, please contact your Internet Service Provider to restore Internet access.

Verify the Devices LED

If your devices are connected to the Alarm.com Smart Chime, the Devices LED will be solid. If you have multiple devices that are connected to the Alarm.com Smart Chime, you can view the currently connected devices on the Alarm.com Smart Chime’s Wireless Network Settings page on the customer website. If the device experiencing connectivity issues is not listed or the Devices LED is off, try reconnecting the device via WPS. If this does not solve the problem, try resetting the disconnected device and reconnecting it using WPS mode.

Power cycle
Unplug the device from power for 10 seconds and plug it back in. Wait for the Power and Router LEDs to become solid before trying to use the device again.

Performing a communication test
Press the WPS button for 10 to 15 seconds. The WPS LED will stop blinking and the Router LED will blink five times. If the Router LED turns solid, the test was successful. Please wait two minutes before trying to use the device again.

Factory reset
Press and hold the Reset button (pinhole) for 15 to 20 seconds (use a paper clip or tool if necessary). All LEDs will blink simultaneously to indicate that the device will reset.

This will restore factory-default settings to the device. All network configurations will be deleted and all connected devices will need to be reconnected using WPS mode.
