I just stumbled across this thread. This is wonderful, and much preferred to running Homey SHS on Synology (maybe šŸ¤”). At least Iā€™m not going to experience the current issue Iā€™m having with saving flows when Hyper Backup is writing to my other NAS. Thank you so much for developing this! I really wish it had been presented on the SHS product page. I would have chosen this over Synology. ---

Hello, Iā€™m really impressed with the Home Assistant add-on and am currently testing it on my Home Assistant OS. The devices are transferred to Homey without any issues. My question is, assuming I add new devices via Home Assistant, will they be automatically transferred to Homey, or do I have to manually request the device from Home Assistant in the app? The add-on isnā€™t officially advertised on the Athom website. Therefore, my question is, how long will this add-on be supported with updates? ---

> [@Taner](#): > > The devices are transferred to Homey without any issues. Can you tell me how that works? I only know of manually adding the H.A. devices per Home Assistant community app. (I prefer it over the ā€˜officialā€™ Home Assistant app) > [@Taner](#): > > My question is, assuming I add new devices via Home Assistant, will they be automatically transferred to Homey, or do I have to manually request the device from Home Assistant in the app? Manually, like the way I just described. For _ **the other way round** _, you can give this brand new HA integration a go: [https://community.homey.app/t/home-assistant-integration-for-homey-now-available/148786](https://community.homey.app/t/home-assistant-integration-for-homey-now-available/148786) Create an API key, install the add-on per HACS, and it connects to all of your Homey devices, zones, flows and moods, with options to deselect or remove unneeded Homey items. Note: itā€™s still a work in progress! ---

Iā€™m using the official Home Assistant app from the Homey App Store because my goal is to control all my Homey devices, and I havenā€™t encountered any problems with that so far. The Community app isnā€™t relevant for me, as it describes how to use Homey devices within Home Assistant. Backup concept? Is it sufficient to perform backups only on the HA production system, or is it necessary to do this in Homey as well? ---

With 12.11.0 now available, how far behind will the HASS OS add-on be? Restarted the Add-on but it has not updated. ---

Good question, it should update when restarted. The add-on has no influence on the process. ---

I navigated to the Homey add-on within Home Assistant and pushed the rebuild button. That did the trick, I am on 12.11.0 now. ---

Ah, I donā€™t think Home Assistant automatically checks for new images in the repository. It looks like I actually need to push an update every time a new version is released, which is quite cumbersome. Iā€™ll check in with Frenck from the Home Assistant team tomorrow to get some more details and will circle back. ---

The 12.11.1 update showed up on HA. Assuming you manually pushed it. Whatā€™s changed from 12.11.0? The changelog doesnā€™t mentioned 12.11.1 ---

I basically wrote a GitHub workflow that checks the SHS repo every night for new releases and automatically pushes a new version when it finds one. At the moment, 12.11.1 is the latest stable release available. ---

On top of my head, Emile wrote itā€™s because of SHS uses the hostā€™s memory. But I canā€™t find his post here atm. But imho insights is a better place to monitor on memory use, because itā€™s not a fixed number. (assuming insights _do_ show app memory usage; Iā€™m out of SHS trial licenses atm šŸ«£) ---

I was unable to update to 12.12.0 RC1 or RC2. Assumed you were restricting the add-on to released builds, but now that 12.12.0 is released, I still am not receiving the update on the Home Assistant Add-On, even after a rebuild which worked for 12.11.0 and 12.11.1 How I can get the update this time?
