How do I create an online account to control my system?
When you set up installation and activation of Smart Home service, you will provide an email address to use as your username with the system. Once the service has been activated, you will receive a Welcome email with further instructions. Click the link within to set up your account.
Follow the instructions at that provided link to create a password and security questions, set up two-factor authentication, verify your email address, etc.
Once completed, you will use that username and password to access your system from the web portal or mobile app.
If you need further assistance in the set-up process, our technician can assist you at installation. If you have further questions, please contact us.
