Hi all, I am new to homey pro and still getting my head around things. Got some devices work with flows. Was planning to change wifi networks but would i need to back up everything or just start a new setup and log back in? ---

I have Homey Pro 2023, followed the guidance. And… lost all settings. Account is empty again. Can’t find a way to get anything back. So recommend back-up. ---

Awaiting their feedback, once I hear back will share back. Maybe somewhere in the process it’s been a mistake from my side, as I am a new Homey user since this month. But nevertheless now signed up for the back-up option. ---

If you mean, You did not press the pin at the bottom for over 29 seconds: Still “your” Pro doesn’t show up in the mobile app, you probably started/selected a new instance of the free trial version of Homey Cloud. It can be recognised by it’s icon, a house, and it’s description “Homey” : > ![image91](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/7/f7e455df7551e1636985880f28d6ee86e9504d70.jpeg) You’re not the first one mixing things up, it’s not very transparent To add your Pro again, goto - …More - hit Homey (below your account) - hit “+ Add new Homey” > ![Screenshot_20240727-164115_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/1/1/115062d4f9797033b3c7e9cc0e7ce2c0be7fa297.jpeg) This somewhat confusing command, also adds existing Homey’s to the app. NOTE: you can create offline backups of a Pro 2023, however it’s not possible when it’s running. With a Cloud backup subscription, backups are created automatically whilst Homey’s running.
