Please write to Danalock support as well, links are present at the Danalock page @ homey.app store Hello Fredde, Can you please read the guide below? Thx.

It can’t be an app on your phone while Danalock uses zigbee, and your phone doesn’t have a zigbee controller onboard A zigbee device can be added to only ONE controller, presumably Homey in your case. Is that correct? But it doesn’t work @ Homey as I understand. So it can’t be the Homey Danalock app. 1. > [@Fredde\_Flumee](#): > > reinstall and after a few What do you reinstall, and on which system? 1. > [@Fredde\_Flumee](#): > > Homekit. Hmm what has Homekit to do with zigbee and Homey? I think this is irrelevant here. 1. Did you change the Danalock batteries, even if they are ‘brand new’? Just replace them 1. Did you tune your wifi and zigbee channels? Do you have neighbours with (strong) wifi channels? Please check and scan, and make adjustments if needed.

I have 20 different zigbee devices working flawlessly. It’s only the Danalock thet messes up. Homey PRO 2019. Change batteriet 3 times. Full reset multipel times. After reset and add I can look/unlock for at least 2 days then it stops working again. It always works in native app. Just Homey that stops responding. In the zigbee network on homey developer I can always see that the lock is in the mesh. I can’t figure out what’s wrong 😢😢 ---

The channel Zigbee uses has been blocked for wifi. Ive changed the adapter 1 year ago. This is the only zigbee device that stops functioning after 24-36 hours, Then I have to delete and add it again to operate it. Getting really sick how bad this works. Have 2 other Danalocks and no problems. The lock works fine for about 2 days then it just dies. its still in the Zigbee network and fully visible in my system, but nothing happens when I hit Lock/Unlock. ---

> [@Fredde\_Flumee](#): > > It’s only the Danalock thet messes up > [@Fredde\_Flumee](#): > > I can look/unlock for at least 2 days then it stops working again. its still in the Zigbee network This made me think of an exact similar issue right away: Aqara + Ikea filament lights + Homey 2019. Aqara’s went quiet after a few hours to a few days. This happened when an Aqara device started to use a Ikea light as router/hop. That combo did not work @ Homey. _Fun fact: this combi works 100% fine @ zigbee2mqtt_ So, can you show a list of which devices (brands, types, models) are part of your Homey zigbee mesh? This, to be able to find info on Danalock incompatible zigbee devices. . > [@Fredde\_Flumee](#): > > It always works in native app I don’t understand. I 'm curious, which app is that, “the native app”? And what device does it run on? And how can you control a zigbee device with an other app while it is in Homey’s zigbee mesh? ---

Nativt app is the Danalock app. All my Danalocks but one, can be manager in the Danalock app and automations work excellent in Homey Flows ---

Danalock cant answer what the problem is so they are sending me a new lock. Last reinstall lasted 2 days then its not locking any more. Going nuts ---

Danalock can also be operated via Bluetooth which the Danalock phone app uses to communicate with the lock. ---

I have three Danalocks, two Z-WAVE and one ZigBee. This is what I have found out: 1. The Z-WAVE lock that’s closest to my Homey Pro E23 more or less always work, it talks to Homey direct. 2. The ZigBee lock often doesn’t work, it’s more or less at the same distance as the first Z-WAVE lock. 3. The second Z-WAVE often doesn’t work, it goes through a repeater, at first I used a Telldus Z-WAVE plug and now a AEO Tech repeater. What I have done is that in my flows I restart the Danalock app everytime the flow doesn’t execute and then I have a delay and then run the flow again. That often works, but it takes some time. I know that another user have a flow that restarts the Danalock app several times each day. When I used the Z-WAVE locks with Telldus Z-net it almost always worked. This tells me that it’s the app that have some kind of bug.
