Just another info that V5 will be released this week. But I can’t say how reliable the source is. ![Bildschirmfoto 2020-07-20 um 11.05.40](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/d/7/d724ad82cc62f9d9d116d0c33fcd07690406ba9c.jpeg) ---

Don’t think he has more info than we do. He probably received the same e-mail als we all did. First an e-mail saying it will be released in a few weeks, and late last week an e-mail stating the v5 will be released to experimental this week. As you can see in a couple of replies on FB people don’t seem to understand why there is an experiential channel. I do not agree with the name as it doesn’t really reflect what is going on (eg they say they are RC’s, which in fact they are not). But still, for the most stable, you don’t go into experimental. I fully agree with @Adrian_Rockall . I think that’s the way it’ll work. * * * I now even received a message from the homey app my homey will be upgraded to v5 tonight. Now I don’t have automatic updates enabled, but I think they are really trying to inform everyone. ---

The smart presence app does indeed no longer work. SDK version is not supported almost everything works fine. I have a lot of IKEA zigbee devices and they seem to respond well I only found only problems with Robb smarrt’s new app. V2.0.2 This app was automatically updated after the homey v5 update I can no longer start a scene with my wall controlers (z-wave) The connection is good because the signal comes in on the devolper page when I press a button. If I create a new flow and choose “a scene is activated” then the list is empty and I cannot select a scene. ---

You are welcome to add the list to the English forum and keep it up. > [@Homey v5.0.0 - Erfahrungen und kompatible Apps](https://community.homey.app/t/homey-v5-0-0-erfahrungen-und-kompatible-apps/32560): > > Homey v5.0.0 steht ab sofort zum downloaden bereit. Hinweise: Es können auch “nicht Zigbee” Apps, Fehler haben. Es sind teilweise auch Zwave, Wlan und andere Apps betroffen, die die SDK 1 zurück melden. Athom hat SDK 1 komplett deaktiviert. Apps die noch damit arbeiten, funktionieren nicht mehr, da Athom solche Apps in Homey deaktiviert.

That’s the firmware compatibility, not the SDK compatibility. So the app is compatible with firmware v2 and up (which, yes, also includes firmware v5, but when the developer wrote the app he didn’t know that from v5 onwards his app would stop working; technically it should now read `>=2 <5`) ---
