Troubleshooting Tips

• Devices not appearing? Check that your gateway is online in the Heiman Home app
• Routine not triggering? Verify the device status is updating correctly in SmartThings
• Delayed notifications? Ensure both your phone and SmartThings hub have stable internet connections

Note: Smart home integrations are intended to provide supplemental notifications only and must never replace the primary audible alarm functions of the device.
