I’m am rebuilding my ‘homelab’ , I wanted to put an old iPhone with homey dashboard to monitor some devices…

i’ts an official Apple Magsafe charger - when no iPhone is connected I have the nice spectrum circling…

when I connect my iPhone in charge, the very next second homey disconnect and I have an infinite white ring..

i reproduce that 3 times in a row

(its not a wifi homey, I have the ethernet dongle)

Both devices are connected to different power supplies?

Homey is using the official plug with higher voltage?

It sounds as if voltage drops down and Homey crashes.

And please use the original plug if you are using the LAN adapter. It has a higher voltage than others to support LAN adapter and Homey without undervoltage issues.

Try to connect a fully charged phone and see if it still happens.

A fully charged phone should not cause a voltage drop..

Well, I just meant two separate USB-C plugs in a 220v outlet should work. Two devices in an Multi USB-C power supply could make problems if it’s not stable enough for power spikes.

Perhaps we can get a photo of it? 🙂
