I’m using Homey Link between HP23 and HP26 but keep in mind that you can’t import app specific flowcards and widgets on the dashboard. It’s only the device tiles and the homey capability flowcards

What’s AmberPro? Not heard of that before.

I’m trialling Music Assistant at the moment in a Docker container on my QNAP NAS’s Container Station. So far it’s provided some decent benefits over just using the Yamaha MusicCast app on Homey, especially for whole home music.

It’s a NAS system like Synology → [Amber | Homey](https://homey.app/a/net.amberpro/) it’s not that well known, but I made the official Homey app for it 😃

Cool, I’ll check it out. Curiosity n all that, cos I have a pretty baller NAS… but gadget curiosity is strong ha ha 😁

Please don’t take this the wrong way, but I’ll stick with my QNAP NAS… it’s taken me a while to build it up to it’s final form, but now I have about 106TB native, giving me about 67TB storage after parity losses and system files/swap (& including mirrored 1TB cache NVMe SSDs).

It gets pretty hammered over night when all my backups run. Even more so when Music Assistant decides to re-scan all flac files and re-index its database with updated metadata at the same time ha ha.

But the Amber Pro does look like a smart well designed and well polished product. I’m certainly not dissing it. Perhaps I’m just power mad mwahahaha 😈

Part of my home lab that the NAS supports…

@Drako74 It’s one of the few servers in my home, but it’s quite easy to setup and test things on as most of the time it’s main task is collecting dust 😛

That looks really though! 😍

🤣🤣🤣

Thanks man. I went on a bit of a Raspberry Pi binge, so thought I’d set-up a rack and power them with PoE rather than have a desk full of little metal cases each powered by its own USB power supply. It’s great for running different servers like Pi-Hole, GPS near nano second NTP, TailScale etc. couple projects on my To Do list are to learn and build one as a Grafana server, and another as a Home Assistant & Music Assistant server. But as the normally rainy n cloudy North West of England is currently experiencing some odd blue skies and 25°C weather with some sort of angry fireball in the sky… I’m gonna sit in the garden and take full advantage of this freak phenomenon 🤣

Thanks again for all your great apps ✊🏼🤘🏼

That’s a bad case of BYD (Bring your own Datacenter) 😜👌

Hi guys,

A while ago my internet didn’t like me anymore, and disconnected me just like that. So, the flow I created didn’t update the measurements during. That’s not how it should be, right?  
So I extended the flow a bit, to catch WAN/LAN or possible app issues

 ![Screenshot from 2026-06-02 16-13-33](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/7/d7661310e904ab7c6d003b3ba597f923c65ad23b.png)

(Why I enable/disable the app on each run?  
I often disable apps which don’t need to run until needed. Saves RAM usage!)

You can also use the HTTP request card and send a GET to `https://connectivitycheck.gstatic.com/generate_204` every 5 minutes. Then, you can set a variable to disable some Flows when the internet is unavailable (or even automatically reboot Homey to attempt to fix any issues with Homey’s connection, in my Homey it works great for this use case). This way, you can use it in multiple Flows
