Can I update my request after submitting it?

Yes. Simply reply to your existing request with any new information, screenshots, or updates rather than creating a new request.

Can I request help before buying a device?

Absolutely. Many members submit support requests for compatibility questions, product recommendations, and smart home planning before making a purchase.

Can I request support for more than one property?

Yes. If your membership includes multiple properties, indicate which property the request applies to when submitting your support request.
