Hey DIYers.
Jarrett with Alarm Grid here.
Today you're going to be discussing how you in factory
default your Resideo Lyric controller.
Now when you factory default your Resideo Lyric controller,
you're going to load the default configuration on your system.
In order to access the default configuration,
you will need the installer code to be able to get into that.
Now when you do load the default configuration,
it's going to clear all of your zones you've had set up.
It's going to clear all of your panel time settings.
It's going to default the installer code back
to its original, which is 4112.
And it's also going to completely defaults
all of your system settings.
Now one of the reasons as to why you
had to factory default the system
is if your panel was on firmware version MR 7 or earlier.
So what I mean by that is when you set up
the system with an Alarm Net 360 account
to be set up for monitoring, and you were to cancel an account.
If you wanted to reset the system with monitoring
services, then you do have to perform the factory default
in order to set it up with monitoring again.
Now it doesn't matter whether you're setting it up
with the existing company that you
had canceled with earlier, or even with a new company.
Either way, if you're on that earlier firmer version,
then you will have your factory default the system
to reset it out.
So when you're setting up your Lyric system
with new monitoring service, you will
have to completely reprogram the system.
So all of your 6 years devices will
need to be readded to the system as well.
Fortunately, because of the new rollout of the firmware version
MR8, there's actually no need to factory defaults on the system
anymore to set up with monitoring.
If you did need to factory default it,
the only real reason why you'd have to do it now,
if you are in the current firmware version,
is if your system is exhibiting any abnormal behavior or maybe
something is going on with it and a factory default might
be able to help out with that.
Now if you wanted to check the former version of your system,
there is a link below that you can follow.
And you just want to check out step three,
and it will be able to show you how
to find your firmware version.
So when you factory default your Lyric system,
as I specified earlier, all of your system centers
are going to be reset.
Now if you wanted to check out the list of the default values
or the systems factory default values,
then just check page 30 of the Lyric installation guide
and you should be able to see all of that there.
Now when you do factory default your system,
there is unfortunately no way of being
able to undo that default. But there is a work around to it.
If you had an upload of your previous programming
with an Alarm Net 360, then you could have that programming
pushed back to the system, and your system settings
will be back in the way they were.
The only way to do this though is if you had alarm monitoring
services and your current monitoring
company or your previous monitoring company
has an upload of your old programming.
So you definitely just want to keep that in mind
before you factory default your system.
Just make sure or check with your company
and see if they can upload the programming before you
do anything like that.
So when you factory default a Honeywell Lyric system,
any SiX Series device that you have programmed
will be released.
Now in order for these sensors to receive the signal
letting them know that they've been released,
they have to be powered up and within range of the Lyric
when you perform that default. Now
this is the case for any SiX Series devices,
except for the Honeywell SiX fob key fob.
The Honeywell SiX fob, in order to be able to release it,
you have to just press a single button
when you're in range of the Lyric
so that the Lyric can then tell it that it's no longer enrolled
and it can be set up with a brand new Lyric, or even
the existing Lyric that you just defaulted.
Now if there are any SiX Series devices that
were not in range or powered up when you performed the default,
they will need to be factory or manually
factory defaulted so that they're no longer enrolled
into the system anymore.
Now in order to be able to default these SiX series
devices, you do have a limited amount of time, normally
about 24 hours after you have enrolled into the system
to be able to default those sensors.
Now if you wanted to check out more information about the time
to be able to factory default them,
just follow the link in the description
below to be able to check that out.
Now when you factor in default your Honeywell Lyric system,
it will disassociate it from the Alarm Net 360 account.
You can re-associate it by manually running a new panel
association on the system itself.
Once that system has been reinstated with the Alarm Net
360 account, then you can have the prior programming
read downloaded back onto the system automatically.
Now if you wanted to run a new panel association the system,
you'd see all these simple steps real quick.
So on the main screen, you'll just press Security,
and then next you're going to go into Tools,
and you're going to type in the installer code.
The default installer code is 4112.
You're going to go into a new panel association.
So once you type in the installer code,
you actually should see the new panel association right here.
What you'll do is just press on that,
and then it's going to initiate the process
of trying to connect back into the Alarm Net 360 account.
So once you have done that, you'll just hit the back arrow
to go back to the main screen.
Now when you've re-associated the Honeywell Lyric
to the Alarm Net 360 account, just
go through the SiX areas programming
to reprogram all of your SiX series devices
back into your Lyric system.
Now if you wanted to be able to factory defaults your Resideo
Lyric controller, you just follow these simple steps.
So at the main screen, you'll just press Security.
You're going to go into Tools, and then you're
going to type in the installer code.
The default installer code is 4112.
So you're going to go into program,
you're going to hit the down arrow,
and then you're going to see default config.
So once you tap on that, you're going
to get this window asking whether yes or no
if you want to factory default system.
Now I'm not going to press yes in this video because we
do have the system set up with an account and everything
already, but you normally just press yes
and it's going to take you back to this window.
Once you have confirmed that all of your settings
have been factory default and everything is correct,
you just hit the back arrow to go all the way back
to the main screen.
And that is how you factory default your Resideo Lyric
controller.
