Can you link me to anything please? I’ve done as late 47 in the manual but when holing the lid tamper in (so thinks the lid is on) and holding the “load defaults” for 6 seconds nothing happens.
I’ve done as you said on the smartcom, even tried new Ethernet and it still flashes on the cloud symbol.

Page 17 of installation manual tells you how to reset engineer code back to default.
Caution when defaulting, read instructions .

With the tamper secure and the load default pressed in you should hear it beep to confirm it’s done.

It doesn’t do anything (as per page 17) I’m guessing this means it’s NVM locked? No bleep at all
Looking at that install I would expect the installation company to have a profile of the installations they install. Installation companies do not issue the engineer code to end users, this is for various reasons many to do with insurance certification. If the engineer code is locked or nvm locked contact the installation company and they should reset code and could charge the end user.
Not normal to lock nvm.

I’m not sure what to say, I’ve asked the installer and he said the code be usually uses doesn’t work, so either I changed it (I doubt it), or he doesn’t want to share it with me.
So if tamper secure and holding the load defaults doesn’t do anything, does that mean I’m locked? Or do I need todo that during power up?
I do however have my master code if that helps?
no point in doing a factory reset as it will make no difference.
If NVM locked its locked full default does not unlock it, so always better to do a code only reset.

I managed to get it NVM reset by shorting two pins on the chip, found it on another site. Now to work out how to commission to get basic smart com on first!
don't recommend that process as a slip can bugger things up but most nvm chips can be reset by pin shorting

Ok, so got everything back up and running including me changing the engineer code. For some reason however the smartcom only works via Wi-Fi and not when hard wired via Ethernet. I’ve reset the smartcom a few times and make up a new cable too, still won’t connect via Ethernet. I’m assuming this is why I’m getting no ATS as it’s trying to connect to the previous setup config
cable fault?
tested multiple cables and still no joy. Been on the phone to tech support and they think it may be a problem with the port on the SmartCom but I'm not sure (as it was working only a few days ago and nothing been plugged/unplugged to it).
Came across this thread: https://www.diynot.com/diy/threads/texecom-smartcom-setup-issues.544804/
I also am using ubiquiti networking gear and virgin media although that shouldn't make a difference as wifi works fine.
Really no idea why wifi works and ethernet doesn't, so strange
I couldn't tell you without taking a deeper look.
If you test the cable is it good (it is unlikely that several cables are duff, but not impossible).
so if you reset the smart com (no wifi connection is possible) does it connect with a cable.
What does the router see?
