  • Controller links to other Insteon devices

  • Responder links to other Insteon devices

  • Custom device behavior including blink on traffic, beep on button press, status LED brightness

 

If reset instructions for your device are not found in this list, consult your product's Owner's Manual.

 

Insteon Hub

Follow the steps in this article to perform a factory reset on your Insteon Hub. Doing so will erase the following information from your Insteon Hub:

  • Links to Insteon devices in your home

  • Links to configured scenes

  • Configured schedules

If you intend to remove Insteon Hub from your home, you should first delete all scenes and devices using the Insteon App prior to performing a factory reset. If you don't first delete the linked Insteon devices, your remaining Insteon devices will continue to look for your missing Insteon Hub and degrade your home's Insteon performance.

After you have deleted all scenes and devices, delete your Insteon account using the Insteon app.
