When I install a new app, the app appears in de app list with a continuing circling cirle nest to the name. It doesn’t function, since i cannot alter settings (Domoticz) or add devices for this app (Zonnepanelen). All existing apps function normally, and existing devices and flows als function. I just can’t add new app which works (multiple apps tried): They all keep having a circling circle in the app list in Homey app.

I allready deinstalled the new apps, rebooted Homey and tried again but that doesn’t help.

When I try to create a diagnostic report or try to restart the new app i get the following: ‘spawn ENOMEM’

That means your Homey’s memory has been exhausted. That may be caused by another app, and you should check the memory stats (in the mobile app, “Meer \> Instellingen \> Algemeen \> Geheugen” and press the memory chart).

Tx, you are right. It is full, Homey itself takes 1.1GB. The rest of the apps use normal memory (minimum 8.6MB, maximum 33.7MB for Ubiquiti Unifi). How can i fix this? Restarting doesn’t help. PtP for a minute?

PTP is always a good idea, yes.
