Before the first Homey 5 beta version was released, Athom sent an email to users who had “Experimental Updates” enabled. The list is about 4 weeks old, if I see it correctly. Some programmers have already released v5 compatible apps, others are still programming, other apps may not be updated. Fortunately the app SmartPresence was taken over by another programmer, for example. If you need some of the apps, stay current on v4.x and don’t do any app updates, at least no updates that have been rewritten for v5. From my experience I can say that the following apps work fine for me (but it doesn’t have to be that way for everyone, after all Homey FW is still in beta status and some of the apps are still in beta): Homey FW v5.0.0-rc.23 INNR Lighting Devices v2.0.3 Philips Hue ZigBee v2.0.3 The Aqara App is also hard at work. You can find the current status in the [topic](https://community.homey.app/t/aqara-xiaomi-smart-home-zigbee-app-v0-8-0/156/1923). So maybe you have to search a little bit. In the German [topic](https://community.homey.app/t/homey-v5-0-0-erfahrungen-und-kompatible-apps/32560) we try to keep the status up-to-date, which FW/App works, which errors are found. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.homey.app/t/homey-v5-discussion-about-v5-before-it-was-released-to-stable/32554)._
