Smart home hub firmware update stuck or failed
Unplug the hub for 30 seconds and plug it back in. This fixes stuck updates. If it fails again, make sure your WiFi is stable, the hub has at least 1 GB of free storage, and try the update again later.
Hub firmware updates fail when your internet drops mid-update, the hub runs out of storage space, or something goes wrong during installation. The good news is that most failures recover with a simple restart. A force restart (unplugging the hub) interrupts any stuck update and lets the hub recover.
