Recovery

Device recovery

From invalid WiFi configuration

If a device cannot be located on the network it is supposed to connect to, it can be put back into AP mode via the following methods:

• On devices with a physical button press and hold the button for 10 seconds while the device is on.
• On most models within first 30 seconds after boot, toggle the input 10 times in succession.
  • On devices with multiple inputs, use the first input.

This kind of reset will not reset HAP state, if the device was paired before it will remain paired.

From invalid HAP state

If a device does not appear on the list of new devices to be added, this could be due to device being paired already. This is indicated by "Paired: yes" status in the HomeKit settings section of the Web UI. In this case, the right thing to do is to remove the device from the controller it is currently paired to. If that is not possible (e.g. the iDevice it was paired with is no longer accessible), use "Reset" button on the Web UI to reset HAP state and remove all the pairings. This will completely reinitialize the HAP state of the device, including generating new ID, it should appear in the scan results.
