After I put Homey (2016) in recovery mode I get stuck in the app during the installation.  
After selecting ‘add a room’ I end up in a screen ‘Homey is in closed beta’.  
The installation will not continue without entering a code … which I don’t have.  
Questions:

1. Can I get a code on short term?
2. Is there another way around this screen?

Sounds like you’re trying to add a Homey Cloud/Bridge, not a Homey Pro (a 2016 Homey is also called “Homey Pro” nowadays).

Choose Setup **Homey PRO**!!

See [[HowTo][Pro] Restarting Homey Pro to Recovery Mode - Adv. Options From Mobile](https://community.homey.app/t/howto-pro-restarting-homey-pro-to-recovery-mode-adv-options-from-mobile/61222)

Hey Robert, I have no bridge, nor a Homey Pro.  
That’s why I selected ‘add a room’  
Selecting Homey Pro did the trick and I’m installing now.  
Thanks for the advice.

Yes, you do: all white-ball Homey’s are now called “Homey Pro”, _also_ the older generation.
