I am very disappointed for sure  
This morning after 2 months with the honey pro and able to add the majority of my devices  
My home pro not even is offline but it is dead  
No ring light, no nothing  
No way to Maine it work, I unplugged it and plug it back in two more different places and no power no reponse  
Wow amazing for a expensive device  
So disappointing, returning it to Amazon.  
Waste of money Athom/ homey company  
Wow so so disappointing. I got even charged in Amazon for a restocking fee.  
This is Amazing it is not a cheap product for it to last me for two months only  
Waste of my time and money for sure !  
C’mon homey this is not a joke  
Not even a direct customer service phone number on the USA. So annoyed.

I’m under the impression you have some issues, right? It’s pointless to post it here, this is just a users forum.

Please write to the proper channel for your thoughts: [https://homey.app/support](https://homey.app/support).

Oh, and btw, no one has a phone number of Athom. Anywhere.

Errrm, i hope you also tried another power supply and/or usb cable? 😇  
And did you already send a mail to the support mail address?

And by the way, the device is called Homey. The company is called Athom…

seeing the incidental reports here about a defective Homey Pro or USB Adapter the most are replaced or repaired.

Not sure if it is the warranty handling from Amazon,  
Have you contacted the company Athom self using support? [Support | Homey](https://homey.app/en-us/support/)

So it worked well before it died ? Claim warranty, sh1t happens things break sometimes, specialy in the first months if there is a production fault…

Act like a grown-up instead of as a baby who’s toy is broken…

I found this: [Marketplace Returns and Refunds - Amazon Customer Service](https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/help/customer/display.html/ref=hp_left_v4_sib?ie=UTF8&nodeId=201819160)

The last paragraph reads, _ **"Sellers may issue full or partial refunds for an order as described on this page. Sellers can’t charge a restocking fee during the initial returns period or if a product is returned because it’s faulty. "** _

Not sure if it is legal where you live.  
and here: [Amazon](https://sellercentral.amazon.com/help/hub/reference/external/G201725780)

Guess just trying to claim a warranty, in worst case you are left without a Homey for a couple of weeks. But I guess you should give Athom the option to fix it.
