Yes I am. My homey is in the top and with a green thingy. I checked of course.  
I also can get the list of installed apps. But it seems there is no connection between the install button and the actual homey.

That’s strange, any ideas @MaxvandeLaar?

It is. Should homey also show a blue led installing it?  
I once managed it all, there are some HCS apps installed.

The blue ring should be the same when installing an app from anywhere.

I have managed to log on to the community app store using the code, but I am unable to install the Homey Community App Store to the Homey. I downloaded the Windows program, and running it pressing “Login via Athom” I only get the login code that I used for the app store, but nothing more happens to the Windows program. Of course then the app store only gives me a message that the app isn’t installed on Homey and nothing can be installed due to that… What next?

@EESP  
Are you installing it on a Homey Pro?  
May I ask why you want to install it, just curious.

To install the Smartthings app, which has my electronic door lock, which can’t be added directly to Homey.

I am having a similar issue it seems.  
I am using Homey Pro, I uninstalled google nest SDM as I wanted to try and reconfigure it and now I can’t reinstall it.  
I have downloaded the App and it is on my homey

I then go to log in to the Homey Community store and it seems to take me no where

It just finishes with the blank screen of the Homey Logo and I have not logged in.  
If someone could help that would be great.  
Thanks

@Mitch_Hare I have experienced the same a while ago. For me using a different browser to get the code worked. You can use that code in the browser of your preference.

I have a new Homie and I’m having problems installing the app - I’ve managed to log in, the installer can by-pass my firewall, but it hangs during the install and there is no blue light.

I’m sorry, but why do you expect a blue light?

Guess that is the animation for loading or installing applications?

More of a question @Julia_M , did you check the more… Apps if the app is installed on your Homey?

Thanks @Martijn_Hoogenbosch @Dijker

1. I meant the blue installation ring (no sign of anything being installed)
2. I’ve checked the apps - it’s not listed
3. I use Firefox (unless a system forces me to use another browser).
4. I’ve followed all the instructions that I can find and I still can’t install the app, any other suggestions?

Have you tried a different browser?  
Could you try from another computer?  
I presume your computer and Homey are on the same network subnet?  
Can you ping Homey from the PC using Homey’s IP address?

Thanks @Adrian_Rockall

How does the browser affect installation when it is running off an exe file?  
Everything is connected to a mesh system (Eero) so they are on the same network.  
I’ve tried another computer (I happen to have two work computers at home) - one was connected to the network via IP4 the other by IP6  
I can ping from my laptop (my Homey is connected by IPv6 not IPv4):  
Pinging xxx with 32 bytes of data:  
Reply from xxx: time=21ms  
Reply from xxx: time=14ms  
Reply from xxx: time=58ms  
Reply from xxx: time=8ms

Ping statistics for xxx:  
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),  
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:  
Minimum = 8ms, Maximum = 58ms, Average = 25ms

Hi @Julia_M, sorry to hear you are experiencing issues. I can’t say with absolute certainty what is going on as I don’t have access to logs but I have seen issues like these in the past. In all cases where the loading animation kept going and the app didn’t installed it was due to flaky athom/homey cli. In all of those cases the fix was to run in command line `homey logout` (assuming you have the homey cli installed, if not visit [Getting Started - Homey Apps SDK](https://apps.developer.homey.app/the-basics/getting-started#1.-install-homey-cli)). For some reason the CLI tells the installer that it is authenticated, but it actually isn’t. So running `homey logout` will force a re-authentication. Let me know if that worked 🙂
