1. A method comprising:
downloading, from a backend server of a security/automation system of a premises, to a first control panel of the security/automation system, backed-up device information of one or more devices in the security/automation system, wherein the backed-up device information comprises a first encryption key and a second encryption key different than the first encryption key, wherein the first encryption key is generated during pairing of a first device with a second control panel of the security/automation system for a first encrypted communication between the first device and the second control panel of the security/automation system, wherein the second encryption key is generated during pairing of a second device with the second control panel for a second encrypted communication between the second device and the second control panel, wherein the first control panel comprises a reset or replacement of the second control panel; and
resuming operation of the one or more devices in the security/automation system, using the backed-up device information downloaded to the first control panel, wherein resuming the operation comprises:
using the first encryption key generated during pairing of the first device with the second control panel to automatically pair the first device with the first control panel and establish a third encrypted communication between the first device and the first control panel; and
using the second encryption key generated during pairing of the second device with the second control panel to automatically pair the second device with the first control panel and establish a fourth encrypted communication between the second device and the first control panel.
