Hi all

Homey’s been good the last few years but I need to clean up my flows, i see some weird behavior, nodes being unreachable that were fine before, need to dump some unused apps, etc etc so I am wondering if it wouldnt be better to factory reset.

What do you think?

If I would go that way, some questions 🙂

- List item Should i first remove all nodes manually so i can re-add them easier later on?
- List item Can i login with my existing athom account on the fresh homey?
- List item Should I remove all flows from my account first?

Any other tips or experiences are appreciated.

Regards

Sven

Just delete them.

Gonna be unreachable again me guess.

Just delete them.

For ur other questions:

1. remove and/or reset is a thing u need to do anyway. So do it on forehand or later is gonna be the same. I would choose later.
2. Yes you can.
3. No. All flows will be gone after a factory reset. No need to delete them.

thx for your tips, so a fresh install would not really yield enough benefits for you?

In my personal opinions I don’t see the benefits yes.
