Defaulting a Resideo Lyric Controller

In this video, Jarrett shows users how to default a Resideo Lyric Controller. Performing a factory default will cause several things to happen. This will reset the Installer Code back to 4112. It will clear all zones. The panel time will be reset. All general panel settings will be reset to default.

There are many reasons why you might want to perform a factory default. If you are planning to sell the system or give it to someone else, you might perform a default so that the new user can start with fresh settings. On any firmware version MR7 or older, a factory default was required if the system was activated through AlarmNet and then cancelled, as it was the only way to re-activate for monitoring service. This was true even if the same monitoring company was trying to re-activate the system. This is no longer required as of firmware version MR8.

If you perform a factory a factory default, then you will need to reprogram the entire system. All sensors will need to be re-enrolled, and all system settings will need to be reconfigured. For that reason, performing a factory default is usually seen as a last resort. It is something you only do if you absolutely have to. Remember, reprogramming an entire system from scratch can take quite some time if you have a large number of zones. As a result, it is something you will generally want to avoid.

One important note is that defaulting a system will cause any bi-directional SiX Series Sensors to be released. These sensors must be powered on and within wireless range of the system at the time of the default. This is the only way for them to know that they have been released. The one exception is the Honeywell SiXFOB. You must make one single input on the SiXFOB at some point after the default has occurred. This must be done within range of the system. The Lyric will then tell the SiXFOB that it is no longer enrolled.
