Learn how to reset a Nobi light to factory settings using the built-in button—without using Bluetooth or the app.
3 min task
What
A factory reset clears the light's settings and removes its link to the current room and housing unit. Typically, this is done via Bluetooth and the Nobi app. But if the light is unresponsive or Bluetooth connection fails, you can now reset the light directly through the hardware—available on generation 2.1 and newer.
Why
Factory resetting a light before moving it ensures the system no longer tracks or monitors it in the old housing unit. If you skip this step, the light may still be registered in its previous location, which can disrupt reporting and monitoring in the new room.
This new method gives you a backup option when Bluetooth doesn’t work or when the app can’t connect—so you can still safely prepare the light for removal or reinstallation.
Detailed Steps
Locate the small hole on the top side of the light, facing the ceiling. This is where the reset button is built in. Refer to the image for guidance.
- Use a thin object like an unfolded paperclip to gently press into the hole until you feel the button inside.
- Hold the button down for three seconds.
- The light will turn blue and say: “Factory reset completed.”
A few seconds later, the light will start blinking blue. This means it’s ready to be installed again.
You have successfully factory reset the light.
