If I do a factory reset on my Gateway, what happens to the connected light sources and the IKEA Home smart app?
The light sources and IKEA Home smart app will be un-interrupted once the gateway has been reset.
The factory reset will clean up all data saved in the gateway and make it re-form a new Zigbee network.
It will also work on the latest Over the Air (OTA) image it updated to so far and revert to the factory flashed firmware. This can only be triggered by using the pinhole-button on the Gateway itself.
The rest of the system is left intact, meaning that you can continue to use the rest of the devices in the system.
