Factory reset an Alarm.com Smart Thermostat to its default settings

The Alarm.com Smart Thermostat (Smart Thermostat HD, ADC-T2000, and ADC-T3000) can be reset to factory default locally at the thermostat.  

Reset the thermostat

Important: If the thermostat is enrolled onto a Z-Wave network, remove the thermostat from the network prior to factory resetting. This action clears Z-Wave network information from the thermostat.

  1. Remove the Display.
  2. Press and hold the button on the Thermostat for 30 seconds.
  3. When the Status LED slowly blinks, release the button. The Status LED will blink 10 times rapidly before turning off.
  4. When the LED turns back on, the device has been factory reset.
  5. After factory resetting the thermostat, put the Display back on the Thermostat. You will need to restart the setup process.
  1. Press More to put the thermostat into Off mode. When the thermostat is in Off mode, no symbols are lit below the temperature display.
  2. Once in Off mode, press and hold Up on the Smart Thermostat until a version displays. The version number does not matter for this process.
  3. Once the version displays, press and hold Downon the Smart Thermostat until RST displays on the thermostat.
  4. When RST clears from the thermostat display, the thermostat is reset to factory default configurations. 

Important: If Thermostat Lock is enabled, the thermostat will not respond to button presses until Thermostat Lock is disabled. If the Security Panel (or other Z-Wave Controller) becomes unresponsive, or if the thermostat is not enrolled onto an active Alarm.com account, a full reboot (i.e., removing AC and battery power) of the thermostat will bypass the local thermostat lock on any Alarm.com Smart Thermostat with Z-Wave version 1.2+. For more information about thermostat lock, see Enable or disable Thermostat Lock on an Alarm.com Smart Thermostat.

  1. Press the Minus button.
  2. Select SETTINGS.
  3. Select INSTALLER.
  4. Select CONTINUE.
  5. Select RESET.
  6. Select YES.
