Socket hang up basically means that Homey couldn’t get a response from the camera. It could be caused by a number of things, but most likely a temporary network issue with either the camera, router or Homey. ---

Hi Adrian, My Homey 2019 crashed this morning at around 04u. Some minutes later this app notified by timeline that it has stopped working and developer has been notified. Not 100% convinced that the crash and app crash are related or which one caused the other to crash, but would you be so kind to check the notification to see what happened? Thanks, EDIT: I did not change anything the past 2 weeks. ---

Could you try the new test version. I have added extra traps for error in that version. > **[ONVIF Camera | Homey](https://homey.app/en-gb/app/com.onvif/ONVIF-Camera/test/)** > > Use an ONVIF compatible camera so Homey can improve your home security ---

Another 2 homey’s 2019 with the app as well installed, no problems there. So I will install the test version of the app only on the crashed HP2019 I suppose. ---

Do all the Homey’s access the same cameras? I’m just wondering if that could be the issue as the camera is rejecting the connection. ---

No, separate locations, and separate camera systems ---

Hi Andrian, at 1713u again the app stopped working (timeline info) and again the homey crashed. I did install the test version and I also clarified any other homey connecting. Is there anything I can contribute at this time? I will not be able to be on site after tomorrow, so when nothing changes, I need to disable the app. and with that also disable some alarm functions… EDIT Killed the homeylink and homesh apps to be sure, but there was nothing going on there. ---

You could try setting the log level Basic Information and then when it crashes the log that Homey sends might have something useful in it. ---

Just enabled the app again and set the log level basic. 2 questions: Can I leave the emailaddress unfilled? Can I close this setting popup? Just sent the log to you also. ---

> [@Phil\_Bro](#): > > Can I leave the emailaddress unfilled? > Can I close this setting popup Yes to both. I can see in the log that the new flood protection has kicked in a couple of times, so maybe the issue was caused by the camera sending large bursts of message to process, causing Homey to close the app if it was consuming too many resources. ---

ok, well. I have 3 cams of which 2 detecting cross line only. The first crash (2 days ago) was during the night, chances are slim this was caused by line crossing. Any tips for reducing cam activity itself, so prior to use things in a flow? Thanks ---

How should I read the log entry below? Nothing is going on, no line detection nothing. I could try to disable motion detection on cam settings, but have my doubts.. 17:36:2.553: Event data: (192.168.x.xxy) Monitoring/ProcessorUsage: Value = 45 17:36:10.567: Push event: 192.168.x.xxx 17:36:10.579: Push event token: Processor\_Usage 17:36:10.604: – Event detected (192.168.x.xxx) – ---

That entry shows the camera has pushed a CPU usage value. Which means the events system is working. ---

After another look at the log you sent earlier, the camera is certainly blasting messages at Homey, so it wouldn’t surprise me if it was causing the app to be killed due to high processor usage. It seems it isn’t just sending messages when something changes, but constantly sending them with a false value. I have seen this before and I the the user got a firmware update for the camera to fix it. ---

Hi Adrian, Ad-Hoc firmware upgrade, reset the log. Please allow me to send you the log this afternoon, hoping that data-blasting is over. EDIT: Sent the log again, and deleted the intercom device as this device isn’t required in the app. ---

Just another homey crash. Will reboot now. Anything useful in the log? EDIT: I’m forced by time pressure to disable the app now. I have until this evening to support you when possible and make adjustments or anything, testing period this night. ---

Question, I use the onvif app, and works great. Now I have live view on my Homey dashboard. But there is a full screen button, that doesn’t work. It only works when I press the stop button, then direct the play button, then the full screen button, then the full screen is there. Anny one else the same problem? Is there a fix ✌ I’m on a iPad, all up to date.
