Hi community, I had an issue with the Infrared antenna of the Homey Pro 2023. I couldn’t turn ON / OFF my Sony TV. Tried everything: Restart Homey Pro, restart apps, used different apps, rewrite flows. Nothing. I decided to start this Topic. And hoped someone could help me. Just before finishing my request I thought of one more thing. Unplug the power of the Homey for a minute. Than I discovered I put accidentally my wireless phone charger on top of the Homey. Removing it solved the issue immediately. **AAARGH** it took 2 hours of my life. ![20250202_211057](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/2/7/27fc76927d71ccc5f7c4257dbe3062cc235b19be.jpeg) I had to post this to help my fellow community members. I have seen it somewhere in the past on this forum. **Don’t put anything on your Homey Pro** Rogier ---

2 hours is a small investment for the rest of your life 🙂 ---

Kudo’s for admitting such a blunder 👍 Maybe we should make a “blunder topic” one time where everyone can confess to mistakes like this 🙂
