Please provide a way of connecting the app directly to the homey device without having to have Internet access, so the system will still work when the internet is down. Homey’s ip address is known.
According to homey this should work with the apps. Haven’t tested it for a while. For a test one is supposed to disconnect from internet and leave the local net active. Quite some months ago it didn’t work. And true a way to connect from a local browser to homey would be great.
Suggest you reach out to Athom with your request via Support | Homey as they don’t actively follow this forum.

The app validates the authentication every other week. However, we don’t know when it’s renewed:
When lucky: you can manage Homey for max. 14 days
When doomed: you can manage Homey for max. 1 hour
Homey keeps running without internet for a while, but it’s internal clock needs internet time servers as well.
Homey just can’t run without internet for longer periods.
Athom says so, but as soon as the clock lost the time after a reboot… (Homey has no backup battery like PCs/laptops).
It’s just not happening in real life.
