The following explains how to send the standard configuration messages to the Electric Switch to ensure that it is communicating correctly with the Genius Hub.
| Troubleshooting step |

Sometimes an Electric Switch may lose the factory settings which were applied to it when it was added to the system. This can occur when there has been a power cut to the device. When the Electric Switch has the incorrect configuration messages it can struggle to communicate frequently to the Genius Hub which leads to the device being slow to respond or not controlling the heating correctly.
