New valve won’t update firmware

post by holmesidepi on Mar 13

After replacing a leak-damaged valve, I tried to pair it with the hub today. After probably 10 or 12 attempts, it has never completed updating the firmware. The last 5 or 6 attempts, it just sits at about 85%. I’ve forgotten how many times I’ve forgotten and rebooted the valve. I’ve restarted the hub about as many, and every time it locks up with the nonresponsive firmware update. Once again, I’m just about done with this whole glitchy, error-prone system. Please tell me something that will actually get this valve to work.
