Hello there, I have searched the forums but cant find the right answer. My problem: Since a couple of days, my homey became a bit slow. When i press a button, or when my motion detector detects movement, it sometimes takes up to 10 seconds to turn off /on all lights. Especially when a room has serveral lights, (for example in my bedroom with 6 bulbs), its strange to see that one light goes on every other second. I have tried a 15-20 minute poweroff, it works for just a day or so. I also tried to check the memory usage, but there are only like 12 apps that use about 15 mb constantly. I dont really see any app use CPU. (Is there any way to see the full cpu/memory storage in stead of catogorized per app)? I only have 12 apps and im having a homey pro. All the lights are ikea bulbs. Is there any way to get homey working again? Thank you very much. Glenn Dijkstra ---

Firts, to avoid future concerns, before restart of Ikea hub, try to control those lights directly from Ikea app. If there will be delay, you have the root cause. ---

I have the same, but with Hue lights. I’m using the Hue gateway, because I have a lot of scenes. Also Homey isn’t really reliable and you can’t mono, double, triple, quadruple program the switches. But it did work once. The problems started this week ☹ ---

Thank you very much @Igy and @robertklep. I tested it with the ikea app. It still had the problem. I did the tradfri power boot and it works perfect again. Thank you very much!! ---

Tradfri power boot? What’s that? ---

Tradfri is just the ikea hub. But try to disconnect it from the electricity for a little while and check if it works afterwards. My ikea hub needed just a minute power off and homey sometimes needs 20 minutes power off. It worked for me. ---

Funny to read this i see the same behaviour since 2 days. Mainly my Philips hue ( hue bridge with hue + IKEA lights ) is slow. Homey is also not reachable for 10-20 seconds during this slow behavior. Memory is at 2/3 full and 19 apps running. Did not rebooted Homey or the bridge. Will try that today
