This anomaly may cause the SIM card in the device to become locked and may lead to reports of communication failures. We have reports that certain communicators may have experienced this issue between March 19 and March 28, 2022. Additionally, devices that are set to 30-day check in that are not communicating can be confirmed with your sales representative (even if you have not yet received a communication failure message).
Devices that are set up using IP and Cellular paths may have reported a secondary path failure instead of a communications failure. Once the issue occurs with a communicator, it will not recommence communications absent you are following the procedures below.
Resideo’s AlarmNet 360 has reported communication failures as identified on the chart above.
How to determine if your device is affected?
Devices that are affected by this anomaly will show the following symptoms:
A. Locally on the device:
LEDs on the device will flash regularly at a rate of two times per second.
B. On AlarmNet 360:
Devices performed normal check in procedures (QOS) for a period leading up to March 19, 2022. Beginning on March 19 through March 28, 2022, certain units stopped communicating and reported a communication failure as identified on the chart above.
Correction procedures?
Devices that are affected by this issue must be corrected by replacing the SIM card. SIM cards will be available to order using the SKU SIMKITV beginning on April 7 as needed. Customers may also contact the GeoArm or Resideo Sales (800-645-7492) team to arrange for shipment of SIMs .
Procedures for replacing the SIMS will be included in the SIMKITV, we have also posted the procedures at this link: SIM Card Replacement
Resideo is confident that the anomaly that led to this issue is corrected and will not occur again after replacing the SIM Card.
The Resideo LYNX Plus L3000 and LYNX Touch L7000 panels are being discontinued.
At GeoArm, we have just received notice from Resideo Pro (formerly “Honeywell Home”) that the older LYNX Plus L3000 and LYNX Touch L7000 wireless control panels are being discontinued from new sales as of April 18, 2022(or while supplies last).
More recently, Resideo has released the all-new ProSeries platform, with two self-contained offerings, the PROA7 and PROA7PLUS, along with the SiX sensor portfolio and LTE communicators. This ProSeries platform will act as the replacement moving forward.
Customers who still have a L3000 or L7000 panel have the full protection of the Resideo warranty.
The AlarmNet network experienced a brief 12 hours of downtime between 3/13/22 to 3/14/22.
Resideo’s AlarmNet and Total Connect 2.0 interactive app services experienced a global outage on 3/13/22 starting at approximately 9 PM ET.
Some conspiracy theorists out there thought it was a ransomware attack. Well it turns out that you can now take a deep breath, as Resideo strongly denied those claims. It seems the reason for the outage is quite embarrassingly simple, it had to do with their environmental system.
Total Connect 2.0 has now been fully restored within about 12 hours or so of it initially going down. GeoArm has confirmed at approximately 2:30 PM ET (on 3/14/22) that both Apple iOS and Android devices are now able to successfully connect again. Resideo has confirmed that Total Connect 2.0 is restored as well.
For most GeoArm customers, you do not need to do anything at all. However, we have found upon restoral for some panels, such as the LYNX Touch WiFi that they are not successfully reconnecting. If applicable, in most cases all you have to do is reboot the panel. If this does not work than go back through the WiFi settings and rejoin your network.
