My homey started acting funny, it did not recognize switches etc and when used with the Iphone app, it stated it was offline. LED working fine and showing the spectrum light.

I then decided to reboot the device to make it work and connect to wifi again but when it came on, the LED is solid white and it continuously beeps in a high pitched tone.

It does not seem to work to re-set to factory by turning it upside down.

Any ideas ?

Pull the Plug,  
Search for another 5Volt 2000mA or more USB Adapter an test that. Probably a faulty power Adapter.

2100 mA or 2.5 A also good. as long as it is USB (and thus 5 Volt ).

If that fixes it, send an e-mail to support with your Homey Account.

I have now been able to test the Homey with a new power source and that fixed the problem.  
It is the original homey power supply that is faulty.

thanks for your help!  
with best regards,  
Nils
