Zigbee device not responding after a power outage
After a power outage, Zigbee devices need to reconnect to the hub. Most do this automatically within 10 minutes, but some need a manual restart. First, wait 10 minutes and check if it reconnects on its own.
When power comes back after an outage, your Zigbee hub wakes up first but the individual devices take time to find it again. Some reconnect automatically within minutes. Others get stuck and need a manual restart. Turning them off and back on tells them to look for the hub again. Once they reconnect, they work normally.

Skip — I just want a technicianCommon mistakes to avoid
- Restarting your computer immediately after power returns instead of waiting for the hub to finish booting. Your computer needs to find the hub
- Thinking your computer is broken when it just needs a manual restart
- Assuming all devices reconnect at the same time. Some are fast, some take longer
