2nd time this week that I have to “repair” homey.  
Meaning manually adding all devices and adding them into all relevant flows again,

How can I prevent homey from automatically updating apps?  
I thought I had switched it off, but Homey still performs the updates

Just discover 2.05 automatically repaired everything.  
So I’m saved there.

But the question remains.  
Why are apps automatically updated while I switched it off!?  
Is there another setting?

Go to Settings \> Apps and remove the checkmark behind the relevant apps to “Automatically update”
