Every so often the light switch plays up. Some times the red LED stops working, some times it stops working with remote control, some times stops working with smart phone.

It does not happen very often, maybe once every 6 weeks, and turning power to lights off for count of 5 cures it.

Switch is a MiHome Energenie no neutral required, don't have same with sockets, has anyone else had this problem and any idea what causes it. Re-booting computer yes, but light switch?
 
Well tried to change name in case the Nest Mini was switching it, no change, so then tried to un-pair and re-pair with a different name, it seems to have worked, not done anything daft up to now, so seems it was not the switch, but some thing held in the hub or by Nest Mini.

I suppose switching off power re-booted hub as well as switch, so maybe something in the hub was causing the problem, possible an old IFTTT command which was still active, but could not find one.
