Rebooting Homey is pretty much the only thing you can.

Besides, “memory cleaning” is a moot operation on any UNIX-type OS (like Linux, which is running on Homey) because the OS will handle that itself. If any memory _isn’t_ being released, it’s simply still in use. Perhaps mistakenly so (in the case of memory leaks), but any memory-clean-operation cannot solve that. That’s up to the developer of each individual app to solve.
