# Powering On & Off ## Power On The Motion Hub is designed to power on automatically when it is supplied power. If you manually shut down the Motion Hub using the power button, you can power it back on either by pressing the same power button or by removing the power source and replacing it. ## Power Off *Optimally*, you should power off the Motion Hub by pressing (but not holding) the power button and waiting up to 30 seconds for the power light to turn off, indicating that the Motion Hub has successfully shut down. At that point, it is safe to remove the power. Nonetheless, the Motion Hub is designed to withstand sudden power loss events, but recently collected data could be lost if the Hub is not shut down properly first. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
