Flows, devices, apps, insights. The guide is in Danish so use the browsers translate function. Short version: \* Install Homey SHS and add it to your Homey account \* Shut down the Homey SHS container \* Copy the homey-shs/sqlite folder from Docker to a Windows PC \* Copy all data from the /User partition on Homey Pro…

Maybe it’s possible to narrow it down:

- Is it app related?
- 
  - Disable a few RAM hungry, less important apps for a while

- 
  - Dynamically enable apps only when needed: Like my plant sensors need to report once a day → so I enable the app per flow, for only half an hour at night

- Is it protocol related (like, for example, z-wave or cloud devices)?
- Is it event related (sun, time)?
- Maybe it’s sensor related? Try replacing the batteries, even if Homey “sais” there’s enough juice left (it really is just a gadget, not a battery tester)
- Do you use the [Audit app](https://community.homey.app/t/app-pro-audit-adds-logging-and-tracing-to-your-homey-pro-and-integrates-into-third-party-systems/101554) to see what’s (not) happening and when?
