Frequently Asked Questions

Can I submit more than one request?

Yes. Members may submit multiple requests as needed. For faster service, unrelated issues should generally be submitted as separate requests.

What if I don't know my device model?

That's okay. Include the manufacturer and describe the device. Photos are often enough for us to identify the equipment.

Can I submit requests for multiple properties?

Yes. Be sure to specify which property the request is for if your membership includes more than one location.

What if my issue involves more than one device?

Please explain how the devices are related. Many smart home issues involve multiple connected devices or automations.

Can I update my request after submitting it?

Yes. If you discover additional information, receive an error message, or notice new symptoms, simply reply to your existing request instead of opening a new one.

Best Practices

Submit requests as soon as a problem occurs.
Include as much detail as possible.
Attach clear photos or screenshots whenever available.
Keep your contact information current.
Respond promptly to requests for additional information.
Avoid opening duplicate requests for the same issue.
