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:

> 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).

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:

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.
