V2 hub issues

Hi all

I’m new here with the ST, and I’m having some issues. I will start with the main one which, if I resolve the rest of the issues, will be cleared as well. :slight_smile:
The main issue is that the hub’s light is solid blue, which means that it can’t connect to the servers. Is there a resolution? I have tried port forwarding, restarting the hub, etc.
The second issue is that when I tried to install the edge drivers for Ikea remote buttons error appeared, and the drivers were not installed.
The next issue is that I have a lot of ZigBee downlights that can’t be found on the ST. What is the reason? I don’t know.

If someone can help sort out all these issues, it will be so nice.

Is this a hub you are trying to connect to your account or was it already connected to your account and started experiencing the blue light?

If you are trying to add it to your account, most likely it is still registered to another account. To correct that… reset the hub and then claim it to your account.

to reset the hub:

  • unplug the power cord
  • leave Ethernet cable connected
  • remove batteries if there are any
  • insert pin into reset slot and plug power cord back in
  • when you get the solid yellow led light on front of hub, release the pin from the reset slot
  • wait until you get the alternating red/green on the led to connect the hub to your account

the remaining questions should be resolved when the hub is connected and showing a solid green light.

Hub is new for me, i have restarted it already but the blue light is still solid :frowning:

I can see it in my account, but the light is not going in green

login to the Advanced Web App and see what it shows for the hub… active? firmware version?

It is showing its online

The firmware is

the strange is that showing its not supporting following which are critical for me

I am not surprised you are seeing the zigbee and z-wave displaying this hub does does not support them with the out-dated firmware version. 56.x is the current firmware on the V2 hubs. I imagine once your hub gets firmware that supports Edge drivers that those messages will change. Thread, of course, is not supported on the V2 hub.

How long have you had the hub connected since you connected it to your account?

few days i believe, how long is needed to be updated? can I speed up this update I mean to do it manually?

Other than a power cycle or using the Reboot option in the link I posted above - if those don’t help with getting the hub to connect and download the current firmware then ST Support would be needed. I tagged one earlier in the post but you can also reach out to Support through the app by tapping on Menu in the app and select Contact us.

Good luck and keep us informed if you get it resolved.

really appreciate your help. thank you so much.

i will keep you posted

Where did you buy it? And what’s the specific model number? (That information should be on a label on the underside of the hub.

Since it’s showing up in your account, but it says it doesn’t have any radios in it, it might be defective. :thinking:

Bought it from Ebay.
The Model is STH-ETH-200 (is that what you are asking?)
Just tried the PING button which is next to reboot and it’s showing error after around 30 seconds(second snip

ensure that all these ports are open on your home network:

  • 11111
  • 9443
  • 443
  • 39500
  • 37

also a good idea to assign a static IP # to the hub

I’m struggling with these ports. I read some VM forums, and it appeared that I can’t open those ports with their HUB and I need to install my own router and use it as a modem. I will try this tomorrow.

Thanks all for the help

I will keep you posted :slight_smile:

Good afternoon all

i have opened all the ports mentioned above, but it seems the hub is not answering. Is that a known issue? What should these ports be, UDP or TCP? Is it something that the Support can fix?

Contact ST support and let them investigate :slight_smile:

No luck with the support through the app yet…

Sorry for the delay, @gvpopov

I’ve seen reports about V2 Hubs not connecting to the platform correctly to update, but in those cases, the firmware version value is empty. Either way, I’ll add you to that report but I need access to your account:

  1. Confirm the email account registered in the forum is the same one you use for SmartThings. If not, please share it with me over DM.
  2. Enable support access to your account:
  1. Go to the SmartThings Web (my.smartthings.com)
  2. Log in to your Samsung Account
  3. Select Menu (⋮) and choose Settings
  4. Toggle on Account Data Access
  5. Select the time period and confirm - In this step, please select “Until turned off”, once the team finishes, we’ll let you know so you can disable it again.

More info about this access here: https://support.smartthings.com/hc/en-us/articles/36170233944852-Enabling-Account-Data-Access-for-Support

Hi Nayelyz

Yes the email is the same.

I did enable support option

Hi, @gvpopov

Could you help us collect the hub logs as follows, please?

The engineering team tried getting the hub logs remotely, but it didn’t work

  1. Plug a formatted USB thumb drive into the hub’s USB port
  2. Short press the reset button (<2 sec)
  3. Hub LED will blink magenta while copying logs.
  4. After the Hub LED returns to normal from magenta blinking, extract the USB drive and connect it to a PC. It should now contain an encrypted log file, e.g. logdump_20250521_105604.tgz.enc
  5. Send this file to build@smartthings.com

This file can be read only by the engineering team because they have a special decryption tool.

Hi @nayelyz

file just been sent.

anyhting else needed just let me know :slight_smile:

thanks for your help
