Homey Self-Hosted Server on Raspberry Pi | Megathread

Maybe the logs show some hints

Troubleshooting with SSH
In case you need to do some troubleshooting, you can open a remote connection with SSH or Raspberry Pi Connect into your Raspberry Pi.
To view the status of the service, execute:

$ sudo systemctl status homey-shs

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

[Ton_van_Rijnsoever]

Hi @ the notification I received came into the Homey app

[Peter_Kawa]

Ah that’s straight from headquarters.

[Ton_van_Rijnsoever]

But surely I can’t be the only one who got this message

[Peter_Kawa]

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.

[Ton_van_Rijnsoever]

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 …

… just pasting it here with “?” in my mind, for now.

[Ton_van_Rijnsoever]

@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.

Please format the logs as preformatted text

[Tip] Please use Preformatted Text for Logs and Code Blocks for cleaner posts

To ensure our community can provide the best help, please use Preformatted Text for all technical content. Why Use Preformatted Text? When you paste logs, configuration files, or code snippets as plain text, Discourse often alters the formatting. This makes it difficult to read and can strip away crucial characters needed to diagnose your issue. If you didn’t create it yourself, like logs or JSONs (interviews) paste it as Preformatted Text!

[betaplar]

That was my intention, but the text editor here in the forum wasn’t self-explanatory enough for me.

[Peter_Kawa]

You could’ve asked, but this new manual is clear enough I hope?

[betaplar]

… 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
Maybe I am way too excited. Thanks for reading so far.

[Ton_van_Rijnsoever]

@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.

[Trym_Jensen]

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.
