My homey pro 2023 gives a red breathing ledring since 5 december. Nice sinterklaas gift , not. Anyways i tried all stuff allready. No idea how to check what is crashing though. I tried usb updating firmware, but it is the same 10.9.0 it allready has. Got a few disconnects as well, so I had to do…

I wrote a TelemetryCollectorApp that solves the log problem. The only downside is that the respective app developer also has to integrate it (the effort is about 10 minutes).

[image] ChrisG: that solves the log problem I think we’re talking about a completely different log problem here. Your app is unable to access the relevant information that might provide clues as to why a Homey is crashing.

[image] ChrisG: I wrote an API for the app that runs in the Homey app process/container itself. Homey apps run chrooted, you cannot access system logs from an app process. Within the chroot environment, there aren’t any logfiles.

Totally correct. Which sucks in my case (and probably some others). Already send numerous requests in the years since homey existed as beta. But yeah i still need to know how i get experimental firmware on mine on usb mode. I do a simple guess that the problems is in the last firmware’s memory han…

thnx that’s interesting. I take it this runs in windows Unix subsystem as well. But yeah it is questionable if i can change things before it crashes.

The most important requirement that you need is the ability to read/write ext4 filesystems. The post suggests that this is possible from Windows, perhaps the Windows Linux subsystem can do this without any external app requirements.

yes it can. Case someone wants to use it: go to control panel > programs > turn on/off windows features > turn on SUA or just install Cygwin edit: gonna need this for cygwin: Ext2 File System Driver for Windows - Browse /Ext2fsd/0.69 at SourceForge.net

Seems athom made a 2026 pro version. New option get this and start from scratch (again). If i have to do factory reset to get it working again I might as well buy the newer version.
