Embarrased to say that I hadnt :).

Now I have - but still have one question - now its connected both to WIFI and via Ethernet. How can I ensure it uses Ethernet?

  1. Turn Wifi off per “Setup mode”
    Or
  2. When you connect the wires as per the instructions / diagram, Homey uses the ethernet connection by default.
    The wifi connection stays connected, without being used. When ethernet fails for some odd reason, wifi takes over (as you found out already :wink: ).
