Hub 3 red light

I wonder if you could help. My hub 3 has exactly the same problem as others in this group. It is showing a red light and it doesnt clear when rebooting or hard reset. The light has been present for three-ish months and the wifi can be patchy for work when it had been very stable in the past. It is no-where near any central heating is cool to touch and is open on all sides so can’t see why it would be overheating. 

Any ideas gratefully received.

A persistent red light on the Hub 3 should mean a replacement Hub.  This is the overheat warning and if it is faulty, then it is a risk.  It has nothing to do with your patchy wifi.

A VM Mod should pick this up in a day or two and discuss.

Hi @Andy103 👋.

Thanks for reaching out to us. In the event of a red light appearing on your Hub and following the process for maintenance:

• Turn the power switch off on the back of the Hub.

• Ensure the Hub is upright, in a well-ventilated location, and, if at all possible, out of direct sunlight.

• Then use the power switch to turn the unit back on. The Hub should now operate normally.

Should the red light persist, then we would need to bring you into a private message so that we can confirm a few details and get this sorted out for you. 

Could you please confirm if you have followed the steps above?

Hello Andy103.

Thanks for those details.

Now we have arranged for the hub to be swapped, Can you please let me know how the visit goes.
