    Hub replacement causes switches to blink red

    I recently had my hub die and had to replace it. I got my account re-set and all the device information from support. When I got the new hub I manually typed in all of my device IDs and recreated scenes. Everything seems to be working but almost every in-wall switch is blinking red about 2 seconds after I manually turn it off or on. I tried to factory re-set a switch and set it up again but it still blinks red.

    Any thoughts on fixing it.

    That is an indication that the device has a link to something that has changed. That'll happen unless each and every scene is exactly as it was before the replacement and you did not factory reset each device. A factory reset should have deleted those reference. Did you reset the devices before adding them back?

      As Stus indicated, Blinking red indicates that a device did not receive a response from a linked device. Since you replaced your hub, the switches are not receiving feedback from it which is why they are blinking.

      If you have newer devices make sure you get a long beep during the factory reset and do not let go of the button until the beeping stops
