Hello, I have a homey bridge with multiple lamps, and plugs. Im having this issue where my zigbee devices (currently ikea trådlös gu10 spotlights, and thridreality smartplugs) not responding from the commands i do in the homey app. The Bridge responds fine to my commands, and a wiz bulb i have also works. The thing is as soon as I unplug en replug the bridge then the zigbees work fine again, and sometimes the zigbee devices respond at a later time during the day(the problem fixes itself?) but its always a gamble if the zigbee lamps will respond or no. I have the standard power source i got with the bridge, and currently 6 ikea lamps and 2 smart plugs. Anyone else have the same problem or know how to fix it? I would love any help 🙂 Regards, Axel ---

A main cause can be interference from wifi 2.4GHz signals This post is aimed at Homey Pro, but you can just skip related parts: > [@Advanced Zigbee Troubleshooting on Homey](https://community.homey.app/t/advanced-zigbee-troubleshooting-on-homey/115930): > > If you’re experiencing issues with your Zigbee network on Homey, here are advanced troubleshooting steps to help optimize performance and stability, especially in more complex environments: Power Supply Integrity A stable power supply is critical for Homey’s performance. An underpowered adapter can lead to instability in the Zigbee network. Always ensure you’re using a reliable adapter providing at least 2A.

My Homey Bridge has the same issue. If I unplug it and plug it back in, it works again, but only for a short time. I’ve had the bridge for over a year, and this problem only started recently. ---

I have the same problem with a EVA Smart plug. The smart plug does not respond to commands from flows or manual on/off. The plug looks as it is connected, but it is not possible to operate. Power off and on of the Homey Bridge solves the problem for a while, but after some hours (somtimes a few days) the same thing happens again. My Homey Bridge was new in summer 2025 and the first few months it worked fine. Now it is not to be trusted. ---

How is it utilised? Bridge as Homey cloud extension or Bridge as satellite? ---

I’d report it to Athom support as well. > [@Reidar\_Skuland](#): > > The plug looks as it is connected, but it is not possible to operate. This is typical for all Homeys when a device is powerless or unreachable. It needs a setting like “consider a device offline after x hours of inactivity” . You’re sure your 2.4GHz wifi (or your neighbours’) isn’t interfering? > [@Homey Bridge not working properly](https://community.homey.app/t/homey-bridge-not-working-properly/145227/3): > > A main cause can be interference from wifi 2.4GHz signals This post is aimed at Homey Pro, but you can just skip related parts: ---

I had the same issue earlier with at Aquara power plug. Wondered if the plug was defective, changed to this EVA-plug, the problem beeing the same. Funny thing is that the plug show updated information about electricity ![Button picture](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/8/2/82116992e419fbe4d99ea22ae117309f39b864d4.jpeg) used (watts), but the app icon for the plug stop woring for on and off.
