Hello, I have mounted an ipad mini 4 on the wall with the homey app in the living room. It always wakes up with a push notification and a motion sensor when you get close - The „demo mode“ shows directly the homey app without pin. At the beginning i did it with the apple homekit app but now i switched to the homey app. But the homey app always gets slower and i habe to restart the app. I didn‘t had the problem wirh homekit. Anybody else has the same experience? Br mario ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/6/1/6131fae21a86d0be91a6f448cb0903b9028cf1b3.jpeg) ---

> [@Mario\_E](#): > > ipad mini 4 Interesting. I also have an mini iPad 4 and in the past 1-2 weeks the Homey app got really slow at times. Trying to figure out why. It works perfect on my ancient iPad 2. I have installed the app from the Test Flight. May I ask you if the same? Or have you got the one from the App Store? ---

Why not using Homey Dash instead of Homey app? You can leave Homey Dash on without any issues. We have 4 ipads, in every room is one iPad mounted to the wall, all of them running Homey Dash. ---

I used homey dash before but with homey dash the screen is always on, thats why I switched to the app. You can dimm the screen to 0 but its always on. Or have you found an other solution with homey dash? ---

No i dont. But i really cant care if the screen is on all the time. 😃 We dimm it indeed to 0, so the backlight is a lot less. ---
