Adding IR or RF 433Mhz devices on a Homey Pro tells you you require a Homey Bridge This BUG is verified running specific Homey Mobile App versions on Android and iOS. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/9/0/90336776fab835b281cbf4921e7f0de9a426c92a.jpeg) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/1/a/1a82da39824fdd5abb97cca1e217d87f0a9de86e.jpeg) Verified on some versions on Android, Workaround is to use the Homey WebApp on a Desktop or sometimes to leave the Beta App (on Android and Remove / Re-install the normal App) Note: I just see the bug is also in the Latest Stable version 9.2.1 🥲 [Homey Mobile App Changelog | Homey](https://homey.app/en-us/wiki/homey-mobile-app-changelog/) ---

Bug is reproduced in in following versions: - 9.2.1.1727 (Beta) - 9.2.1.1735 (Beta) It works as expected (No Bug) in the regular release (Tested on Android): - 9.2.0.1709 (Stable) So probably remove the Beta 😉 (And having a Bridge as Satellite on a Homey Pro Early 2023 you don’t have this issue. ) ---

Ok! When i do it on a pc, this function is available like normal! My next question is how i can connect my 433mhz remote to homey! I have tried it with the brel app remote but when i press a button nothing happens! Is there something i do wrong or is not every remote working with this app? ---

You need an app specific for your brand remote. ---

Of course not every remote works with the Brel app. We just discovered it works with some, other than Brel, remotes. Which remotes? No one knows. It is trial & error, and a bit of luck. ---

I have the same problem with the Pro 2023 version. This on 2 different iPhones and an iPad. Homey app is version v9.2.1.1734 **Pairing 433Mhz does work via the web version of Homey on a PC** Note that the Homey app for apple has recently been updated. I suspect that is the problem. ---

Title improvement suggestion: Can you replace “RF” by 433 MHz please? Or just add 433 MHz? I think not many users will get 433 MHz is also referred to as RF, and won’t find this bug topic. Thx! ---

I have several Cleverio and Nexa devices that work perfectly with Homey Pro 2023. Now, when I try to add more, I get an error message saying I need to buy a Homey Bridge to add more 433 MHz devices. This happens with both Nexa and Cleverio. Does anyone have an idea what might be wrong? Homey and all apps updated to latest version. ---

Use the web app please, or install the stable mobile app version. There seems to be a bug in the beta / testflight app versions. ![1000046967](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/8/0/809f899ee8346edb483b0927b296b58a9e1be583.jpeg) ---
