Since the outage yesterday my backups are gone and backing up the system last night failed. Anybody else having these issues as well? Maybe a solution?

Same issue here, plus flaky voice commands via Google. They didn’t work at all last night, and while they’re ok this morning, the latency is horrible.

It’s good to see I’m not the only one.. thought I corrupted my HP2023 by an unexpected power-down in my house. Seems more a coincidence than related.

Half an hour ago I managed to make a backup, now (as I’m typing) it just shows “you don’t have any backups yet".

Think we’ll need to wait for the Homey developers to come with a statement.

Same here, just gives a timeout error + a ‘Something went wrong’ error.

Also:

- The Homey update page gives an error while checking for updates: [[Incident] Service degraded - Integrations and API - 20260124T10h30 CET - Was: Homey Cloud is down - #75 by SunBeech](https://community.homey.app/t/incident-service-degraded-integrations-and-api-20260124t10h30-cet-was-homey-cloud-is-down/149915/75)
- Siri Shortcuts (the buttons you can place on your Apple mobile device’s home screen to activate flows) are not working.

I created a support ticket.

Same here, but after trying to make a backup I see my previous backups again.

But can still not make a new backup…

Same  
Issues since yesterday (related to the cloud incident)?

The cloud backups of both my Pro 2019 models fail since last night;  
Manually creating a backup fails with the infamous words “Something went wrong…”

Restarting them doesn’t make any difference.

_ **Weird: starting a manual cloud backup @ Pro 2026 suddenly succeeded a few hours ago** _

Hi, it appears that backups are still not working.

Any updates on when this will be sorted out ?

I think this topic can be merged with [this](https://community.homey.app/t/backup-issues/149983) one.

But indeed it’s more quiet than with the other outage yesterday.

Same here. But Athom does not work on a sunday. So we have to wait until tomorrow.

And there status page ([Athom Status](https://status.athom.com/)) does not show any problem. So the status page is also not working correctly.

Hi Henk,  
When they’re off for the weekend, they also don’t update the status page in general.  
With this I mean, the backup issue probably didn’t generate an automatic incident 😉  
The issue sure is inconvenient, but not prio 1 (I presume).

My Homey Pro 2026 was working correctly until yesterday, when it suddenly went offline and I was no longer able to control any of my devices. I attempted a factory reset, but now I cannot set it up again.

The hub shows a rotating white LED ring and then ends with a solid red light. It never progresses past this point, and the app will not allow me to add or set up the home pro device.

Is this related to the issue that other users are currently experiencing, or is this a separate problem?

Is it possible to connect it to a pc / laptop or such, and [connect to it](https://support.homey.app/hc/en-us/articles/7263435817116-Connecting-Homey-Pro-to-a-PC-or-Mac-with-USB) in setup mode?  
If so, install the firmware again (this is not a factory reset, it only installs the firmware from scratch - not touching user data)

It’s a possibility you’ll need to replace the USB-C data cable for a decent one.
