To disable the reset button for hardware controllers, choose Global View > Settings > Controller Settings:
To disable the reset button for a device, go to the Device page, choose the device > Config > Disable hardware reset
As you can see, the reset button will be effective again when the device is disconnected from thecontroller.
To configure mail servers, please refer to the following guide:
Why we need to configure mail server on Omada SDN controller before adding cloud user and email log
You can see the events/alerts which can be sent to your email addresses on this page:
Note:
1. The email notification feature is primarily designed to help administrators better monitor the network. You won't get notificated if the EAP was been factory reset by others.
2. Disabling the Controller's reset button can prevent unauthorized third parties from hijacking the device. However, this also carries certain risks:
- If you forget the password in the future, recovery will be impossible.
- If the GUI becomes unexpectedly inaccessible, you won't be able to restore factory settings via the reset button.
- This eliminates a critical troubleshooting method in emergency scenarios.
Recommendation:
Weigh the security benefits against potential operational risks before making this change.

Thanks for posting here.
What's the status of the OC200 and the EAP on the cloud website?
Are they still online?
You can log in to the cloud website to check.
If they are both offline, unfortunately, we can do nothing to find them back, you'd better call the police for help.

The OC200 & EAP225 are both offline since the day they were stolen but you can inform me with the steps I should take when they will be online
I believe it's just a matter of time they will be back online & I want to utilise every minute to secure my devices before the cuprite realises what is going on. I also don't think the cuprite is aware of the omada technology & proper setup, he/she is about to make a mistake of connecting these devices to the internet
The local police is aware of my house break in on the 8th of August

The Controller has an email notification feature for when devices come online. I'm not sure if you had previously configured this.
Additionally, if the Controller were still online, I would recommend disabling its physical reset button as a security precaution.
However, since all devices are now offline—and assuming no online notifications were set up—I regret to inform you that there's unfortunately nothing more we can do at this point.

Thank you for the information, I am going to do the security measures you mentioned to the remaining devices that I have
