## Limitations

_Without an offline backup, you couldn’t & you can’t revert from the current **stable** firmware to the previous **stable** firmware version!_

Example:  
Reverting from v10.2.1 to v10.2.0 → ❌  
Reverting from v10.2.1- **rc**.1 to v10.2.0 → ✅

### How to:

1. Disable experimental updates @ [https://tools.developer.homey.app/tools/settings](https://tools.developer.homey.app/tools/settings)  
_ **Disabling experimental updates is key here!** _
2. Create a backup! _It’s important for the experimental updates to be disabled_  
NOTE: _You’ll need the backup when things went wrong; so, there’s no need for restoring backups when this procedure succeeds_
3. Follow the steps at [https://support.homey.app/hc/en-us/articles/7263435817116-Connecting-Homey-Pro-Early-2023-to-a-PC-Mac-with-USB](https://support.homey.app/hc/en-us/articles/7263435817116-Connecting-Homey-Pro-Early-2023-to-a-PC-Mac-with-USB).
4. Choose _Software Update_

May I suggest that you clarify what kind of backup you refer to in item 2? I assume you mean a cloud backup, right?

And if so, isn’t it necessary to restore that backup after item 4 has completed?

Using Cloud backup or USB backup is up to you.  
I’ve updated the howto, thx.

No, otherwise I would have added a point `5.` to the howto.  
Thx for being sharp!
