Homey is offline and/or very unresponsive

Since the 2.x update I’ve been struggling with an unresponsive Homey.  
So far I did not find any reason why.  
I decided to reboot Homey every night hoping for an (ugly) solution.  
But the unresponsiveness still returns once/twice a week.

For example today the phone app tells “Homey is offline”. But I can asking Homey a question but that results in “Cannot connect to the servers”.  
Both desktop browser (Chrome) as the iPhone app cannot connect.  
Several Z-Wave devices (if not all) cannot reach Homey (I know this because some motion sensors should result in a change in the led-ring color and the doorbell should respond with a voice message from Homey).  
Other (intranet) devices (PC/phone etc) have no problems connecting to the internet or each other.

What did I try/rule out:

- enough power (original plug/cable)
- WIFI reception: it’s 3m form the router AND also several z-wave devices also have connectivity issues
- Firmware: I run the latest STABLE fw
- rebooting Homey on daily bases to cope with memory drains / crashes
- read the fora for comparable problems and solutions

Any body else has the same problem?  
Any advice?

I had the same issue and solved it by placing my homey closer to the main router.

I have the same issue since about 3 weeks. First it was once a night and now it is getting also multiple times a day. I think 2.0 was working well, but I got the issue with a later Version. I hope Athom will fix this in a new Version soon…

Also got the same issues since the last updates. Every morning, before i can even drink my coffee, make my sandwich or what so ever i need to reboot the thing because i can’t turn on lights, music or open the sunshades. GREAT! 🙂

Welcome. Glad you like it!  
You could of course use Homey’s capability to magically reboot itself during the night.  
Did you already report it to support?

Thanks. Already tried. Only hard reset seems to work. I’m a bit sick of constantly need to contact support. Everytime a update comes something seems broken. A lot is improved in the meantime, it’s not all negativity. But i don’t feel like contacting support again. But maybe i will, thanks for your push in the right direction.

Usually they ask for a diagnostic report, so maybe they can see anything in there.

Same problem to me, I have 2 homeys, 1 home and 1 at work, both you have to retry many times in the app before you can reach homey… going on for probably  
4 weeks now, really annoying​:thinking:😩 anyone with a solution?
