  • [Other] Fix a bug where some Homeys could experience problems when connecting to wifi networks when a 5GHz network with the same name exists
  • [Core] Update Node.js to 8.12.0
  • [Other] Various bugfixes and minor improvements

The major rewrite of the RF controller firmware should make it doesn’t stop responding to 433/868 Mhz, the Restart Microcontroller button is therefore removed!

Note: In some rare cases, 433 and 868 communication may cease to function after installing this update. Disconnecting Homey from the power supply for 30 seconds resolves this (This should definitely be last time!).

If you did not receive the update, you can manually install it via Settings > Updates.
This is a staged deployment so if you don’t get it immediate try again in a couple of days. This prevents overloading systems and support desk.

Important note!
Keep in mind that the forum is not the place to report bugs, you can contact support@athom.com to report bugs. Please verify with other Homey users that it actually is a bug that you experience.

In all other cases you are welcome to join here on the Community forum or on slack to ask for help by this great community!
