Troubleshoot Your System With Self-Service Tools


Through our advanced technology and intelligent features, your Hub automatically checks each aspect of your system throughout the day. The Hub can identify and self-diagnose issues in your system, so you don't have to do the work.

If there is an issue with your system, the Hub will flash a blue light and notify you with specific troubleshooting steps in the Frontpoint app. Pressing the white button on the back of the Hub will also announce any system issues.
