Maybe the logs show some hints

However, it might be a non-existent issue, I don’t see v12.11.0 anywhere mentioned (yet). Who sent you the update news?

I’ve SHS running as HA add-on & as linux docker image.  
HA add-on needs a reboot to update, and the latter needs a docker pull, but while done that, both still run v12.10.1  
So I’m not sure what’s going on, Ton.

I’ve already followed the update instructions several times, but that doesn’t change the version number. I’ll dig deeper tomorrow. Thanks for your feedback Peter

… same here, still on 12.10.1 on a RasPi 5.  
The app says: No updates available.

But the app also immediately (!) says, when I want to create a diagnostic report: “Overload me”

Runs like a charm on the front, but I’ve looked into the back, viewed the logs today and it’s flooded …

@betaplar Thanks for your message. I reported this to Athom on January 16th, but haven’t received a response yet. The situation remains the same. I did disable experimental updates, which made the message disappear.

… already fixed my posting ✌

I’ve tried to flash a new SD card via Raspi Imager, but there’s still only 12.10.1 available, that doesn’t update during boot-up.

So I guess patience is it!  
Changelog still is at 12.10.0 [Homey Self-Hosted Server Changelog | Homey](https://homey.app/en-us/wiki/homey-shs-changelog/)  
Maybe I am way too excited. Thanks for reading so far. 🫣

@betaplar I just downloaded and installed Homey SHS again on a test RPI. It’s also running version 12.10.1, and there’s no update available. No response from Athom yet, so we’ll have to wait.

Uhm, looking at Athoms github pages and the developer tools showed that 12.11.0 is indeed released and you need to update the image with the one that has beta tag at the end. I havent found a way to do this on RPi, but when trying on a ZImaOS instance I pulled it of with just changing the image in the docker compose file.

@Peter_Kawa Thanks Peter, I was able to update successfully this afternoon. It’s strange that I’ve had the message for over a week and the update hasn’t worked. Athom only just responded to my email, by the way.

Hi everyone, I’m running Homey SHS on a Raspberry Pi 4. The update is showing up, but I can’t install it. How do I start the update? I’ve restarted SHS a few times, but it still hasn’t installed.

Restarting _ **the RPi** _ should do it, according to the fine manual:
