Tried that but after some days it failed again.
Hi All,
I have the same WiFi issues with my homey energy dongle. Initially it connected to WiFi. A shared 2.4ghz and 5ghz network without issues. Now last week it suddenly disconnected and I’m struggling since.
tried the same WiFi didn’t work
Tried a seperate WiFi only 2.4ghz didn’t work
Made a seperate WiFi on fritzbox 2.4 and 5 combined didn’t work
Separated the WiFi to a seperate 2.4 ghz did work for 2 days and now also does not work.
So it feels like an issue with the dongle itself?
Any thought?
tries powering the dongle with a usb-c power adapter ?
Did that from the start even tried multiple adapters. No luck
Does the Homey Energy dongle also read out the water meter? If so, how frequent are the readouts?
Context, I currently have an analog meter which I read out constantly to detect an open water valve. Tomorrow I get a digital water meter and I would like to get the same functionality.
Just received my Homey Energy Dongle.
I have Tibber Pulse since before, it have been working okay but I wanted to try out the Homey dongle.
To start with, the power to the Tibber via the Homey Energy Dongle is not enough to power it. So the Tibber dies as soon as I disconnect any external power. Someone else with experience regarding this?
Also unfortunatly the Homey Dongle antenna is worse than the Tibber Pulse, so I cannot reach my WiFi good enough and looses the connectivity when closing the electrical cabinet….
A friend of mine has a Homey 2026 Pro with a Homey Energy Dongle installed. It worked fine for several weeks. However, a few days ago the connection with the Homey Energy Dongle was lost. We tried several restarts and reconnecting, but without success.
We then reset the dongle. After that, it shows up properly in the app again and connects to Wi-Fi, but it is unable to read any meter data. We have repeated this process multiple times, but with no result. We also connected the additional USB-C power supply, but that did not help either.
The meter worked for weeks, so we assume compatibility is not the issue. It’s a Seamcomm T211, which is also listed as supported by Homey.
Does anyone recognize this issue or have any suggestions?
Utility meters can quit sending data;
In order to “reset” it, you’d unplug the P1 cable from the utility meter, and leave it unplugged for 10 minutes or so before plugging it back in.
I will try that later this week! Will share the feedback overhere.
Update: try this but without results, also I received a message from Homey support to update the firmware with the usb homey tool, also without results.
For me the issue was that the mdns was not working well, after I fix this the energy dongle is working well again!
