Hi, A friend of mine gave me homey he don’t need, he has home setup there. Now, he deleted the home from app, while the device was offline and after I turn it on, it’s not starting “setup wi-fi”. I bring homey back to the wi-fi it was connected, so it sync, but that doesn’t seem help. Wi-fi not appearing. Is there a way to hard reset homey the other way around? Or what would be my next steps? Getting brick after all would be fun story. 🙂 ---

Can’t believe he just gave a Pro 2023. I bet it is Homey bridge. The bridge is just a device which provides local radio’s to Homey Cloud/Premium. ---

I found an article, but I swear there is no hole for reset 😄 Should I take off labels etc to find it? Hope I’m not just blind. ---

Is it really a Homey Pro 2023 or the Homey bridge, which looks quite similar? ---
