Just took my old Homey off the shelf (Last seen online 4-5 years ago). As I couldn’t remember my old account I tried resetting the Homey. Turned it upside-down and it counted down and reset. Unfortunately I can’t get it to work. Installed app on the phone. In my wifi-settings (iPhone) it sees the ‘…

Have you tried from a desktop computer? Go to the link in your post, select your language and then, on the Download App page, hold down the Alt key (not sure what the MAC equivalent is). You should see a link popup that says “continue in browser”. While holding down the ALT key click on that and th…

Trying it right now (Alt on Mac is Option btw). Didn’t know this option still existed. After clicking the link it downloads 28,x mb to my browser and asks to connect to the temporary Wi-Fi hotspot.

Followed steps: Factory Reset, after a while Homey device directs me to setup.athom.com (and I can see the Homeysetup SSID). Powercycle Homey reboots for quite some time but I never can see the WiFi hotspot. Rings becomes dark after a While. Turning the Homey device upside down resets the Homey ag…

Ah, another trick. Installing FireFox right away :slight_smile: Seems to bring me one step further but it doesn’t display a list of SSID’s. I can only add one myself. And when I manually add my home network it returns ‘sorry can’t connect to the network’ (Or anything similar, it’s in Dutch). Updat…
