Step 1
When a device has been factory reset, or has been re-added to the system it leaves behind a 'dead node' which is no longer used. This uses the device's previous number but no longer communicates with the Genius Hub and is likely to create an error on the home page.
To avoid future confusion and to remove potential errors from showing on the system, these should be removed.
Step 2
First locate the Genius Radiator Valve which has been re-added Genius Hub. You need to use the original ID number of the device, and not the one which it currently has.
The Doctor will ask you to select the relevant device
Step 3
First the Genius Hub needs to attempt to communicate with the Genius Radiator Valve once more. This is to ensure that the device is a 'dead node' and so is eligible to be removed from the system in this way.
The Doctor will communicate with the device
Wake up the device by short pressing one of the arrow buttons once.
Step 4
Now the device is confirmed as no longer on the system, it can be removed.
The Doctor will attempt to remove the device
