No experience myself, as I am still on v4.2.0 luckily, but for those trying to roll back, see: > [@How to rollback firmware from V 5.0 back to V 4.20](https://community.homey.app/t/how-to-rollback-firmware-from-v-5-0-back-to-v-4-20/32796/6): > > I successfully rolled back from experimental V5 to V 4.20. I used the same method as Jamie but under firmware checking you have to hold the ALT button. There you will have the option to roll back to latest stable version. Remember to hit “next” button once you have checked the box…I hit the box itself resulting in “you already have the latest firmware”. Took me many attempts to find out that I hit the wrong button slight_smile PS!! If you dont have a Homey Pro + subscription you will loose… ---

BINGO!!! Thanks this method work. Where , how did you found this method ??? This should be good for other user to read if they want to revert back to 4.2. What i done whith your help: 1.After connecting to wifi , emediatly i was pressing ALT when update checking was ongoing. PS do not release ALT key otherwise it will continue with setup. When i hold ALT i get these alternatives for selection: ![20200726_181655](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/3/f/3f66dddf6eb9039d83f654316b13e4a8be9955aa.jpeg) Still i was holding ALT key and selected with mouse Revert to stable channel, still ALT hold and press enter.

Have absolutely no problems with Homey 5.0 rc18, except for Vision security, Aqara and LaMetric. That only because they still havent upgraded for SDK3, but that is around the corner. In fact, Homey has never been more stable than now with the rewrite, zigbee is a dream, its fast and its reliable, its a new Homey! ---

That is comforting to hear, I will wait for Xiaomi app before updating to v5. I trust that @TedTolboom will take his vacation with no interference from coding, and hopefully he have time to do this later on. No rush for my sake ---

Just curious: Is the number of directly connected Zigbee devices increasing with the Zigbee rewrite / firmware V5? Or is this a hardware limitation? ---
