Hello Kit,

> Could you help me downgrade to stable V12.1.2 please.

It’s possible when you have an USB offline backup of Homey running v12.1.2  
I’d recommend to make an offline USB backup prior to updating firmware.

### Or when Homey runs a RC version of v12.2.0:

Steps to revert from v12.2.0-rc.X to v12.1.2:

> [@\[HowTo\]\[Pro 2023/Mini\] Revert from experimental to stable firmware](https://community.homey.app/t/howto-pro-2023-mini-revert-from-experimental-to-stable-firmware/100752/1):

> _You couldn’t & you can’t revert from the current stable firmware to the previous stable firmware version_  
> Example:  
> Reverting from v10.2.1 to v10.2.0 → ❌  
> Reverting from v10.2.1- **rc**.1 to v10.2.0 → ✅

> * * *
> 
> ### How to:
> 
> 1. Disable experimental updates @ [Homey Developer Tools](https://tools.developer.homey.app/tools/settings)  
> 2._Disabling experimental updates is key here!_\*
> 2. Create a backup! _It’s important for the experimental updates to be disabled_  
> NOTE: _You’ll need the backup when things went wrong; so, there’s no need for restoring backups when this procedure succeeds_
> 3. Follow the steps at [https://support.homey.app/hc/en-us/articles/7263435817116-Connecting-Homey-Pro-Early-2023-to-a-PC-Mac-with-USB](https://support.homey.app/hc/en-us/articles/7263435817116-Connecting-Homey-Pro-Early-2023-to-a-PC-Mac-with-USB).
> 4. Choose _Software Update_

I just want to inform you this is veeeeery old information, also it was only for Pro 2016-2019 series, but even that has changed.  
At the support pages, enter 2023 along with your search phrase to get actual info.  
As example:

 ![Screenshot from 2024-11-09 20-57-57](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/7/d/7d2f41f3bb490e7667c420ff2f47f2f90f5f5bc3.png)

So to enter a Pro 2023 setup, just press the pin at the bottom for 9s, and go to [https://support.homey.app/hc/en-us/articles/7263435817116-Connecting-Homey-Pro-Early-2023-to-a-PC-or-Mac-with-USB](https://support.homey.app/hc/en-us/articles/7263435817116-Connecting-Homey-Pro-Early-2023-to-a-PC-or-Mac-with-USB)

But you don’t need anything with SSID here.

I do hope you inform the developer of the Homekit Controller app as well, by posting your issue here:

> [@\[APP\]\[Pro\] HomeKit Controller - for a better Homey](https://community.homey.app/t/homekit-controller-homey/94520):
>
> Project started as a way to include the Aqara FP2-sensor via Homekit into Homey. App is now more generic, many services and capabilities are supported. If you encounter problems, please PM me a short note and a copy of the log where you add the device. Generic procedure to add a device. Add your Homekit capable device to the app that came with the device and configure it. If added with iOS device, remove the device from the iOS Home app, a device only can have one controller. Most of …

Support links like that can be found at the homey.app store app pages.
