Factory Reset of Standalone Bridge Devices

Factory Reset of Standalone Bridge Devices

Overview

American Standard® Home supports two models of standalone bridge/controller devices, including the older BR100 and the newer model BR200.  Bridges/controllers allow you to control Z-Wave® devices on your home network.

• NOTE: This article applies only to standalone bridge models BR100 and BR200. There are built-in bridges in the XL (Gold/Platinum) line of thermostats that support home automation and device control, but the management of these devices is covered in the WiFi Thermostats section of this help center.

A factory reset resets ALL Z-Wave information and removes ALL Z-Wave devices from the bridge. 

• If this bridge is the primary controller for your network, resetting it will remove all the devices in your network.  Be certain that this is what you want to do before proceeding, as it cannot be undone.
• Following the factory reset, it will be necessary to manually remove each device from the network and re-add them.

If your BR100 or BR200 bridge does not connect or register properly with American Standard Home, it may be because it has an incorrect or duplicate home ID associated with it.  If the bridge was received in an unknown state and it is unknown whether other devices have been associated with this bridge, it is best to start the registration and device configuration in a cleared state by performing a factory reset.
