Insteon hub is one of the most affordable and efficient smart home hub solutions for you. The hub only needs to be connected to a power outlet in your wall, and with your Wi-Fi. Then, you can optimize the hub using a mobile or web application to control all your smart home appliances efficiently.
However, being on the affordable side, there are several issues that are constantly being reported on the Insteon hub, and here is a brief account of one of the major issues that the hub gets no power at all. If you are facing the same issue on your hub, here are a few things you need to do to fix it at home.
Insteon Hub No Power
1. Let it rest
Well, the build quality is not that bad on the Insteon hub, but it cannot be called one of the best either. Your hub might be overloaded or heated up and it might cause your Hub to show no power at all. All you need to do is let it sit for a while, unplug from the wall outlet and try putting it back on after you think it might have cooled down let’s say 5-10 minutes. This will be able to solve the problem for you in some cases.
2. Check the wall outlet
While the chances on this one are really thin, this might be the culprit causing the issue for you. You will need to check the wall outlet if it is working fine and has the right current in it. To run a check, get some other portable appliance that can be plugged into your wall outlet and try switching it on.
If that does not work, it means you need an electrician to check the outlet and you can plug the hub somewhere else temporarily. However, if the other appliance work, you need to move forward with more troubleshooting steps.
3. Check cable and connection
You never know, but it is possible that your cable might not be plugged in properly or have fried due to some reasons. Diagnosing electrical issues is never easy for you. Check if your cable is plugged in tightly at both ends and not hanging loose at all. Also, you will need to ensure that the cable has not gone faulty. Try replacing the cable if you have a spare handy or otherwise you have no chance but to move forward.
4. Consult Support
Insteon provides a pretty reasonable warranty and takes all the claims open heartly. There are reports of Insteon hub getting issues in the power supply from a considerable number of customers. So, you will need to consult Insteon support so they will be able to guide you about the right technician who can help you with the issue.
Your hub might need a repair or replacement and that would best be diagnosed and suggested by some authorized technician. It is not recommended to try something on your own or taking it to some unauthorized technician as it will not only void your warranty but also posses a security threat.
