Pulse 2: Wi-Fi backup via Ethernet not working
What happens if I enter the wrong Wi‑Fi password during Ethernet pairing?
If you pair the Pulse 2 Hub via Ethernet but enter the wrong Wi‑Fi password, the Hub will still pair successfully. Once the Ethernet cable is unplugged, it will fail to connect to Wi-Fi and display a flashing red LED.
To prevent this, double‑check the password using the Show Password toggle during setup. If this issue occurs, try one of the following options:
Option 1. Reconnect the Ethernet cable
This will bring the Hub back online. As long as the Pulse 2 Hub is within range of all shades, it will function normally.
Option 2. Re‑pair via Ethernet
Remove and re‑add the Hub via Ethernet, ensuring you enter the correct Wi‑Fi password using the Show Password toggle.
Option 3. Pair using Wi‑Fi only
Pair the Pulse 2 Hub via Wi‑Fi only, which only completes pairing if the Wi-Fi password is entered correctly.
