Why this decision matters
Loss of a remote feature should not be confused with proof that every local function has failed.
Work through the actual task
- Check whether local operation still works.
- Report the network change and follow the product's supported reconnection process.
- Write down the expected behaviour during a connection loss and the way the system reports it.
Worked example
The app failed immediately after the router was replaced. This is a hypothetical example, not a completed customer installation.
The useful evidence at the end of this example is: A fault report identifying remote connectivity as distinct from security-device failure.
Limits and follow-up
Do not open mains powered equipment or defeat tamper switches. Arrange a qualified service visit when a fault needs internal inspection.
If the relevant check cannot be completed, record what remains uncertain and who will resolve it before work or sign-off proceeds.
