What does Soft Reset do?

But this is the problem with "soft resets": there is no clear definition for what it does. Every company, and often individual products or product revisions, implement "soft reset" differently.

This is a great question and we have updated the documentation accordingly. The Soft Reset process erases the main database on a hub, which contains hub settings, device list, drivers and any custom code. It does not reset the Z-Wave or Zigbee radios nor removes the cloud data, such as hub registration.
