My brand new Homey Bridge lost connection yesterday at 22:00, while some zigbee lights were On and I wasn’t at home… Wifi was working normal. When I came home this morning I restarted the Homey Bridge (power off → power on) and Homey Bridge reconnected and everything was fine again. I have made a ticket but maybe someone knows the cause and a possible solution. For now I have put the Homey Bridge on a wifi operated switch; so when this happens again I can restart the Homey when not at home.  
In the Netherlands we have a saying for this “het paard achter de wagen spannen” (put the cart before the horse). I switched to Homey in order to get rid of wifi operated switches, wemo bulks and better Tado geofencing.
