Hi all, Anyone else has the problem that after approx. 2 days Tile pro device are not found anymore? After reboot homey everything is working again. I had this problem before, but now It worked ok for a long time. Grts Ron ---

I had no good experiences with the Tiles (Pro and Mate). They often lost contact to Homey although they were nearby. Now I use [NRF51822](https://de.aliexpress.com/item/32827699610.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.738b4c4dwckJg1) beacons for presence detection which are much more reliable! works well so far. ---

Annoying thing is, that it does not have anything todo with the range, If It works It detects the tiles If I am entering my street. It just wont see them until I reboot homey. Just restarting Beacon does not help. I never had this problem until few firmwares ago. 2.5.x firmware problem? ---

I recently had a tile that was 5 days stuck on “detected”. Rebooting honey fixed it and its working oke since then (about 10 days now). Since it was the first time till now I can’t say it’s a problem. Might have been bad luck in my case. My range experience of the tile pro is also great. It’s detected about 20 m from the front door till all the way in the back of the garden👍 ---

I can definitely recommend these from Ali: [https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/F7XzzNZq](https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/F7XzzNZq) That way you can also use your Tile in the Tile app on your phone… ---

I have the same problem. In 1.x i reported this issue, in 2.x it worked for a long time quite well and now it’s back to continuous rebooting. So I have a flow that reboots Homey each night. ---

I got 2 of those to experiment with but they are not recognized, unfortunately. With a ibeacon app on my phone they are found instant but homey tells me that no devices where found.🙄 ---

I’ve discovered that the beacons are found if you restart the app each time before you want to add one. ---

Adding them was also a bit and miss for me, but after a few tries I succeeded, I think I reinstalled the app in the process also ---

Hi all. Guess what, The NRF51822 beacons have the same problem as my tiles, not detected anymore after xx days. Only reboot homey works and they are detected immediatly. Could this be a firmware bug, same as before? (some thing to do with ble and cache If I am correct?) ---

It feels Like a core issue, not an app issue. I have the same problem. Did you report it to athom? ---
