Hi everyone. Woke up this morning noticing none of my flows was working, and tried accessing the app. Just got told that the Homey was disconnected, and tried rebooting it. Now it’s just stuck booting, with an orange light going around. Also noticed some strange sounds from it, both a high frequency noise and a loud “clicking”. This just goes on repeat, no changes. Is this a defect? Kinda stuck here, with a lot of inaccessible devices that needs to be controlled by the homey, and as far as I can see I can’t get my hands on a new one. My Homey Pro was bought in April 2021, and I had hoped it would last a bit longer. ---

It’s possible that the power supply has failed, a quite common problem. Try replacing it with an adapter capable of supplying 2A or preferably more. ---

Known Issue… > [@\[Tip\] Problems with Homey?](https://community.homey.app/t/tip-problems-with-homey/35744/1): > > **Known issue’s** > > - **General Stability due to USB Power Supply** > Probably the second weakest link of Homey Pro is the USB Power supply delivered with the Homey. Although the relative number of issues could be low, many users have reported Homey restarting many times an hour and giving crinkling noises after months or years working fine. It could start with only restarting once a day. In all Cases that Homey does not keep running: Please lookup another USB Adapter with 5 Volt and at least 2 A (2000 mA), Homey doesn’t use 2000mA but the higher rated USB adapters are usually more stable. In case of doubt regarding inexplicable stability problems, often with unpredicted restarts, please replace the USB Adapter. If the original Adapter is defect create a [support ticked at Athom](https://support.athom.com/hc/en-us/articles/360015784034-Submit-a-support-request). > (No reason for using the Fast Charge, Quick Charge or Qi as Homey doesn’t use these provide power options) ---
