Occassionally, after logging into alarm.com, users will be shown a variety of screens asking them to confirm email addresses, etc. before they are shown their system status screen. The plugin depends on the status screen being shown immediately after login. If you're getting errors, the first thing you should try is manually logging into alarm.com on your browser and dismiss / handle any tasks you're presented before the status page. The plugin will most likely work once this is finished.
