This is a local networking issue, it sounds like your WiFi network is separated from your wired network for some reason.

When you go [to this page](https://tools.developer.homey.app/tools/system) and scroll down, you should see two fields “wifiAddress” and “ethernetAddress”. What are they?

From the ip range you can see that your wired and WiFi network are different networks. So your Homey is not able to discover devices on your WiFi network.

Problem fixed by changing the mesh routers to acces points instead of router mode
