What if I need to remove my Keypad (1st generation)?

  3. Tap Device Settings (the gear icon), then Advanced Options, then Z-Wave.

How do I factory reset my Keypad (1st generation)?

If you've tried all of the above steps and you're still having difficulty with your Keypad, you can try to factory reset the device. Note: This will remove device settings such as chirps and volume adjustments and reset the device back to the original default settings.

  1. With the Keypad plugged in, press and hold the number "5" button. 
  2. Press the pinhole reset button on the back of the Keypad. A paperclip works well. Do not release the "5" button.
  3. The Keypad will light up the ring briefly, then the network icon at the top left of the keypad will begin to flash. 
  4. When the network icon stops flashing, release the "5" button.

If you have tried all of these steps and it still doesn’t work, we recommend reaching out to our support teams for assistance.
