Repurpose C-8 Hub

I'll bet this is simpler than I am making it... But, I'm stumped.

I replaced my C-8 hub with a C-8 Pro a few months ago. I want to put the C-8 back in service as a development/test hub. I can't do a full reset because it's under support. So I have reset the Zigbee and Z-wave radios and then put them offline. But, all my old devices are still "visible" under devices. I mean, I really want to wipe this out, but can't. What's the best way to get a clean version of the hub like factory reset - but apparently I can't do that. It's under beta, which is what I want, but with all the flotsam and jetsam of the original hub...


A soft reset without the restore is what you want. I would also change the Zigbee channel before disabling it because disabling doesn’t turn off the radio, just disconnects it from the zigbee stack.

As ken points out, the soft reset. Prior to that though reset both zigbee and z-wave radios
