I was Stupid and in a Hurry!

You aren’t the only one - it’s poor UI design, many folks including myself have accidentally deleted the hub

Accidentally Removed Hub - With NO Warning!

@nayelyz @AlejandroPadilla I was trying to exclude a Z-Wave device using the Hub “device”. Instead of hitting Settings my finger accidentally hit Remove device. It deleted the hub and ALL associated devices without any warning what-so-ever. Very frustrating!! iOS client 1.17.10.22 Any way to bring back the hub, paired devices, automations - everything back without having to re-setup all 100’s of devices and automations again?

Try to delete the driver and re-add it back. I had faced this issue also after a hard reset for some devices. I think it was a firmware quirk but it was resolved after the last hub firmware update.
