If You Have an Existing Resideo App Account Linked
If you previously connected a Resideo (formerly Honeywell Home) account to Brilliant, adding a First Alert account will remove those Resideo-linked devices from Brilliant. So you can only have 1 app connected to Brilliant - Resideo (formerly Honeywell Home) OR First Alert.
If you’d like to stop using Resideo app and start using First Alert with Brilliant, you can:
- Add your Resideo devices to the First Alert app
- Re-add them to Brilliant using the new First Alert integration
If You Have an Existing Total Connect 2.0 Account Linked
If you have a Total Connect 2.0 account linked to Brilliant, those integrations continue to work as before. You do not need to switch to First Alert and you can have both TC 2.0 and First Alert apps connected to Brilliant at the same time.
