YW! More options: restart Homey in recovery mode and choose “full software download” from the menu when presented; Here’s [a howto](https://community.homey.app/t/howto-pro-restarting-homey-pro-to-recovery-mode-adv-options-from-mobile/61222). This has solved the weirdest zigbee issues, but no guarantees here. Note: it only installs the firmware from scratch, it shouldn’t touch anything of your work. But, as always, do keep a recent backup at hand In case that doesn’t help, you can reset Homey zigbee as a last resort. This will remove all paired zigbee devices, and you’ll have add your zigbee devices and fix the flows involved. Fixing those flows can be a nightmare, luckily we can use this [very neat script](https://community.homey.app/t/how-to-pro-cloud-tool-to-fix-advanced-flows-after-removing-and-re-adding-devices/65018) bij Martijn Poppen. Unfortunately I can’t tell you if Homey is dying, BUT the original power brick is known to degrade over time, causing zigbee malfunctions for instance; make sure to replace it by a decent one from a well known brand, 5VDC - 2A minimum. I’d replace the USB cable as well. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.homey.app/t/aqara-light-switch-cant-connect/144599)._
