Suddenly I couldn’t turn off my night lamp, and now I noticed that my Homey is using 450% CPU and rebooting every 5 minutes. What could have happened? FW is 4.2.0. Nothing’s been updated for over a week according to Homey’s logs. It’s scary that it can suddenly just drop out like that with no changes. ---

It’s original? I haven’t really stressed the Homey or anything. It’s actually running a (scary) low amount of automation. ---

That’s too bad, they should offer a replacement service. ---

If you have determined that it’s indeed the power supply, contact Athom. They may offer a replacement. ---

From the original Homey or also the newer Homey (Pro) ones? ---

This was the original, with NFC. The PSU gives 4.1V. Can’t even start charging of my phone or tablet. Definitely dead. ---

Do contact Athom then. The do offer a replacement service for faulty power supplies. Got mine delivered the next day (I am in the Netherlands though, might take a bit longer if you’re abroad).
