I'm just curious as to how everyone is setting up the various devices on their HM&C systems.
- Using the browser based setup scripts (the "Wait 4 Minutes while I locate the new device" script).
- Pushing the button on the Gateway method.
The first method seems to work fine the first few times it's used, perhaps with the base devices. But I have had devices which are never found using this method, even after trying numerous times.
The second method is one a Verizon Tech had me do and it seems to never fail.
- Follow the basic directions for setting up the device.
- Place the device next to the Gateway.
- Press and hold the front button on the Gateway for a 10 count.
- The button will flash for a few seconds.
- When the light stops flashing, wait a few seconds.
- Press and release the button again quickly.
- If the device is a light module or door sensor, double-click its button.
- The Gateway light should stop flashing.
- The new device should now show in your device list.
I wish Verizon would fully document this method for the consumers to use. It would save a lot of calls to tech support.
