In this article, I explain how to reset the ADT pulse gateway.
A reset is usually necessary when you see a "status unavailable" message on your ADT pulse app or in the web portal. So let's take a look at how to do that.
Besides the status unavailable message, the alarm system keeps working, you just need to reset your gateway to have access to the other pulse features.

Usually, the gateway is located next to the Wi-Fi router.
You can pull the power adapter from the outlet to power the gateway off.
The gateway features
With the ADT pulse gateway back to normal, the following features are available.
- Alarm remote control (arm & disarm);
- Light control (turn on/off);
- Thermostat adjustment;
- Live video camera feed.
You can use the ADT pulse app to remotely control everything as long as the gateway and the router on the local network are working correctly.
