Your ehomewatch system has come pre-programmed with the settings on your packing slip and/or sent to you via E-mail. To complete your setting configuration, simply go to www.ehomewatch.com and click on “Your Settings”, and then click on “To Update Your Settings”. You will need the username and password we have provided on your packing slip and/or E-mail.

After you have logged in, the ehomewatch Control Center page will appear. We strongly suggest that you make all your needed changes BEFORE clicking the “Update My System” button on the bottom of the page. This is because the ehomewatch base units take significant time to process changes and if multiple "update my system" messages are sent to the base unit, it will take a significantly longer time, and possibly multiple connections, to complete this update process.

Since changes are sent to your base unit via E-mail, the next time your unit dials out to send a status, test, or alert report, it will also receive the new configuration you are about to create. The first E-mail message you receive, will let you know that your updates were received by your base unit, but they will not actually take effect until the next time the base unit dials out. Moreover, it takes the base unit two calls to make configuration changes -- one call to receive them, and then a second call for reporting to reflect the changes.

First, place your base station in a location where it can be connected to a phone jack and an electrical outlet (suggested locations are your kitchen or master bedroom). Plug the phone cable into a phone wall jack, plug the power supply into the wall and plug the other end into the side of the base unit, turn the base station on by sliding the toggle switch up, and place your satellites in the strategic locations you want them around your home (basement, behind washer/dryer, upstairs bedroom, etc.).

To complete/change the destination E-mail addresses for alert and status reports or to change the hour(s) that status reports are sent, click on “Enter/Edit E-mail Addresses for Status and Alert E-mails” and enter or change the necessary information. When you have made your desired updates, click the “Save” button.

To change your ehomewatch Control Center login password, click on “Change Your Control Center Login Password”. When you have made your desired updates, click the “Save” button.

To complete/change your ship-to address and personal E-mail, click on “Enter/Edit Ship-To Address and Personal E-mail”. Note: These attributes are used for product bulletins & for support purposes only. When you have made your desired updates, click the “Save” button.

To complete/change your Watched Property address or its Name (as it appears in the subject line of your Status and Alert Reports), click on “Enter/Edit Watched Property Address”. When you have made your desired updates, click the “Save” button.

To complete/change your Base Station temperature limits, name, or to turn off hourly E-mail updates after an alert is sent, click on “Enter/Edit Base Station Configuration”. Note: “Turn of hourly updates after an alert is sent” is a new feature we have added that allows you to shut off the hourly update feature which follows Alert reports. This feature is useful if you have been made aware of a situation (low or high temperature, for example) at your watched property, and are taking steps to resolve it and want to stop the influx of hourly alert reports. Once the situation has been properly dealt with, you may return to the Control Center and turn it back on. When you have made your desired updates, click the “Save” button.

To change your Satellites temperature limits, optional features, or their location names, click on “Enter/Edit Satellite Configuration”. When you have made your desired updates, click the “Save” button.

Lastly, after you have made all of the necessary changes, click on the “Update My System” button to send your system an E-mail that will reflect the changes you have made. Your system will receive this updated information the next time it dials out for *test, status, or alert reporting. Again, your system will run better if you send it ONE configuration E-mail after all changes have been made. If you are at the same location as the system, you can accelerate the process by using the pushbutton menu to send a test message (immediately).
