Hi, I own a Homey for more than 3 years now (latest firmware) and it has been stable for months. I haven’t added or deleted devices or flows for months. Since the Fibaro app update (2.4.6) Homey is very unstable. Today it crashes constantly, every 3 minutes or so: red ring, the re-booting and crashing again a couple of minutes later. I don’t even have enough time to properly research what is happening. I have 15 apps installed, 40 devices, a couple of hundreds of flows, many of them containing 10+ cards. But this has been the case for months or even years without major issues. The only clue I have is the Fibaro app update. I tried the recovery mode and I have wasted my Sunday afternoon on this. Loads have been up to 170% according to the logs. There isn’t an app using more than 12Mb of ram. Homey itself uses about 110Mb. I’m out of ideas here. Thanks for helping. ---

Already tried another power adapter (\>2.1A) and/or USB cable? ---

No, I haven’t. Could that be an issue? Seems like homey is powered all the time. Just goes in red ring - reboot - online for 3 minutes - red ring cycles. ---

Maybe you should read here more often. This is a commonly known and frequently occurring issue. ---

For reasons I don’t understand, this seems to do the job. Thx! And sorry, I only look for problem solving when I have a problem. I’m not a developer ---

Neither am i. But on a community most problems have already been discussed before… The chance you have run into a new undiscovered problem is not that big… 🙂 ---
