Resideo Total Connect 2.0 Welcome Email Issue

Update 11/25/24: This issue appears to have been resolved. Resideo has not provided any information as to the cause of the issue, or the date and time of resolution.

Resideo is currently experiencing an issue with welcome emails for new Total Connect 2.0 accounts. These emails are not going through. Instead, dealers are instructed to enter the phone number and carrier for the user's mobile phone and the account welcome information will be sent via SMS.

When Alarm Grid employees create a new Total Connect 2.0 account we customarily use the email address as the customer's user name. A welcome email is then generated when we commission the account. Within this email, the customer has a link to set their password for Total Connect 2.0.

Unfortunately, as of late Monday, November 18, 2024, a technical issue has prevented some email confirmations for new accounts. Until the issue is corrected alarm dealers, including Alarm Grid, are asked to create accounts as normal using the email address as the username.

But prior to commissioning the account, dealers must replace the email information with the customer's mobile phone number, and specify the phone carrier. Then, when the account is commissioned, rather than a welcome email, the customer will receive a welcome text message via SMS.

This text will include the crucial link that allows the customer to set a password for their TC2 account. Without this password, the customer won’t be able to access their newly created account to remotely control their alarm system and any connected smart home devices.

As noted above, Resideo is aware of this issue and is working to resolve it. We'll keep you updated whey they notify us of any changes. If you have any questions, or if you're an Alarm Grid customer who failed to receive a welcome email for your newly created TC2 account, please reach out to support@alarmgrid.com with questions. We're here Monday - Friday from 9:00 am to 8:00 pm EST.
