    Factory Reset/Removing Scene

    In switching from a 2242-222 to the 2245-222 for integration with my Amazon Echos, I missed a few scenes when deleting them. For the switches I was able to go through the factory reset procedure, but there does not seem to be one for the LED bulbs. The manual mentions using HouseLink which I don't have, and have no intention of getting as it appears to be obsolete.

    Does anyone know of anything else I can try?

    There's no need to delete links from the LED bulb because the bulb is a responder only and can handle a couple of hundred links. Controllers need to be factory reset because they keep trying to control linked responders that don't exist.

      Thanks. I'll have to try resetting the motion sensor again to see what happens.

      FWIW, I have the bulbs setup as the responders to a motion sensor. I believe I reset the motion sensor correctly, but the bulbs kept responding. I had a similar setup with dimmer switches as the responders to a motion sensor, and had to reset the switches to get everything cleared up.

        If the Factory Reset completed properly, then it's not possible for it to have any responders. The order in which you perform the steps and the timing is critical. Any variation and the reset will not be complete. This is done to prevent accidentally resetting a device.
