I can’t view images or video from my SHM camera on the app

  3. Check that your camera isn’t in Privacy Mode.
  4. Try closing and re-launching the Smart Home Monitoring app.
  5. If not already done, restart your device.

  7. Still not working? Contact a Smart Home Monitoring Technical Support Consultant.

I’m unable to control a Smart Home Monitoring device through the app

Run through the steps below to solve the issue.

*Applies only to Yale door locks.

Lighting Control Devices

  1. Make sure the broadband connectivity is up as lighting only works when broadband is active.
  2. Check if you’re able to turn lights on with the Touchpad.
  3. Ensure it’s not a problem with the lights themselves by turning them on manually.
  4. Check that the Dimmable option is turned on by doing the following on the Touchpad:
    1. Tap Settings.
    2. Tap Home Devices.
    3. Tap Lighting.
    4. Tap Edit Lights.
    5. Tap Select Light.
    6. Toggle Dimmable to “Yes.”
  5. If the issue continues, contact a Smart Home Monitoring Technical Support Consultant.

Small Appliance Devices

  1. Ensure the Touchpad is connected through broadband internet, as the appliance module cannot be controlled over cellular only.

  3. If the issue is still unresolved, contact a Smart Home Monitoring Technical Support Consultant.
