> After a question about how to migrate to a Proxmox Homey SHS environment, I have created an interactive installer. With this installer you are able to install Homey SHS on Proxmox with some more flexibility: You can choose your storage (current Athom installer might refer to storage that doesn’t exist) Select a VLAN (if bridge is VLAN aware) Disable auto start of Homey SHS (to migrate data) Disable auto update (for those who like to be in control of when an update starts) You can view the scr…

I am running 13.3.0. Since updating, my flows involving multiple lights run slowly. Before the update, a group of lights would cut on instantly. Now they come on slowly one after the other with about a 1 to 5 second delay.

Any ideas?

Perhaps the “Known Limitations” section could mention that some users may experience app-specific issues when running Homey SHS inside an **unprivileged Proxmox LXC**. I had an app that repeatedly crashed, and restoring the same installation to a **privileged LXC** resolved the issue. More testing is needed to determine whether the root cause is permissions, container isolation, or simply the restore/update process itself, but it may be helpful as a troubleshooting note.

This is the specific error message:  
Could not mount /dev/random : 32

**BUG:**

I noticed an issue with SHS with adding devices. I have the problem with the Hue official app.

When I do: + → new device → Philips Hue → select for example “light” → connect → result a spinning wheel → and it keeps spinning..

When it’s an app only issue, you’d best contact Athom support instead: [Support | Homey](https://homey.app/support)  
(as mentioned on the app page @ homey.app store)

Already figured it out. It’s Safari causing the issue. With Chrome it works okay. So no bug but some issue with Safari..
