I just got my long-awaited Homey Pro Mini this week. After plugging it in and connecting to the internet, the device only flashes white (for about 30 seconds or so) and pulses red (indefinitely). When I tried all the options in the USB.homey.app, the device pulsed yellow, but after 30 seconds, it we…

Reset it? Like proposed here: https://support.homey.app/hc/en-us/articles/19428528810524-Setting-up-Homey-Pro-mini

Hi Peter, thanks for the reply. I did try the 30-second reset trick. The device flashes white for about 1 minute, then it goes straight into pulsing red. It does not blink red eight times and it has never done breathing blue.

When I attempt to perform any task on the https://usb.homey.app page the same thing happens. I did install the drivers for Windows.

by pulsing I mean a 2.5 second cycle slow ramp up, slow ramp down. I just tried with two other USB cables and had the same result. When updating the firmware it does connect to the laptop as told by the Windows device noise and the usb.homey.app askes me what I would like to do. I select any option …

Replace the power block? 5.2VDC / 2A minimum should do. @Doekse Abe, any hints on how to start a new Homeyni? Or is this unit DOA?

used 3A power block with various cables. No luck. Each combination went from flashing white light to breathing red without ever going blue. When firmware upgrade or factor restore were attempted the light went from flashing yellow to breathing read around 20% into the process.

Any luck getting it to work? I was considering the mini and came here to see if anyone had received theirs yet. This was the only post I saw so not one that fills me with confidence to pick one up.

No, I haven’t had any luck yet. I fear this one was DOA as it never displayed anything but a flashing white light or a breathing red light.
