Homey suddenly don;t speak anymore…  
The orange led ring is coming up, but no sound/ Speach.  
I did a PtP for about 10 minutes, it started up with a red ring at the end.  
After that everythng at Homey is still working, except the sound from Homey  
I did a reset from the system page after that.  
Now Homey started up without a redring.  
The orange “speach” ledring shows up, but still no speach

Any Ideas?

Good idea 🕶  
I did make a flow to turn back volume (Both mainvolume and music volume) to 100%  
In de setting page the volume says both 100%  
No result, No speach  
I did as test add a external speaker and tested again  
At speak there was a very soft noise ending with a non stopping very anoing high tone.

More ideas?

Get a new power unit. Sounds like a broken adapter. Get one with at least 2A and test plz.

Tested.  
The same result.  
Homey working okay, no speach.

Looks like Homey (speach generator?) is broken.😥  
Or is that software?

Then its strange that external speaker is also not working.

Edit:  
I did add, after changing power plug, the external speaker again.  
Now I did understand with a hugh amount off noise the tekst.  
So there is some difference between the powerplugs?🙄

Yep I used a 2.0 A and 2.5A adapter.  
I also hope fixing doesn’t mean to reinstall everything, because thats not possible 😯

Is resetting Homey by turning upside down an option?

Can hardly imagine that it would help but it won’t do any harm as long as u choose to keep data. Worth a shot!

Athom thinks it is a hardware problem.  
I did send it to Athom for repair.  
Unfortunatly I couldnt find the invoice anymore so it will not be repaired on warranty.  
The maximum repair time is two weeks. So I hope it will be returned before christmass.

Terrible to switch everything by hand again 😱 😥
