I migrated from HomeyPro to SHS and everthing seemed fine except the api gateway is not responding. I used node-red and I get this error:
failed, reason: connect ECONNREFUSED x.x.x.x (Valid IP address just masked for this note)
Repoint to HomeyPro and chnage to the API key for it fine. CHange back to SHS and change to the new API key same error. In postman when I do a simple get devices the SHS just times out. I am using the script from Homey for RaspberryPi 5 to start the container so no docker compose file, just their open systemd daemon to start ShS.

You know SHS is not listening on the default 80 and 443 ports?

Ok so I just fiqured out yes Homey SHS is not listening on the normal ports that HomeyPro did, so I found out its port 4859. So using postman I now can connect and get status. But the Nodered library seems to have an issue with the new path. Somehow I did not see this in the SHS docuemntation that API access is a differnet port.
