Hub 5 started beeping at night

Question

So upgraded to hub 5 about 2 weeks ago. Initially everything was fine - technically it still is other than 1 small issue, around midnight it starts beeping, 3 quick beeps in succession then stops for maybe 3 seconds then 3 beeps. This goes on and on. I don't know what time it stopped since I went to bed at 430am but it was still going then.

It doesn't beep during the day - or I'd say it just needs resetting or something. It's only at night. The light stays solid white too so it's not a connection or update issue.

Any ideas? The beeping is quite piercing though not overly loud it's very annoying.

AFAIK there is nothing in a VM hub that is capable of making a beeping sound.

In a similar past topic (where a customer complained of a beeping hub) it eventually turned out to be an alarm clock hidden out of sight IIRC.

Your description of the sound sounds more like a device such as a security alarm, smoke alarm etc. give a fault notification such as a flat battery.

Easiest way to check is to turn hub off at 23:45 and see if anything then bleeps. Turn back on at say 00:15.

Edit to add I've already tried the old turn it off and on again, checked all the cables which are fine, everything connected is still connected.&nbsp;

Try a pinhole reset and let the Hub reboot itself. &nbsp;Is there any other kit in the same area that may be beeping?

Smoke Alarms or the Carbon Monoxide Detectors that need replacing are the usual suspects.
