What does a Gray Icon mean? How do I reset it?A gray icon means that the sensor is not communicating with the smart hub. This could be because of a dead battery, the hub lost power, loss of internet, or your loved one has not been home for several days (they are snowbirds, stayed at your house over the holidays, or more) Once power, internet, battery, or movement is detected it should change back to normal. Once in a while, the sensor or sensors will stay gray (Remember technology is like kids and it doesn't always listen) in this case you will need to re-add a sensor. Don't worry this is pretty simple. 1st you need to select the gray sensor in the app. At the bottom of the sensor page, you will see a button labeled Remove Device Select this and it will remove the sensor from the system. Next within the app select settings, then Add a Sensor and select a sensor to add. From there just follow the instructions in the app. If it has been a while since you have added sensors take a look at these Tips & Tricks on our YouTube channel.
