This evening our Internet went down. As it was late, we said “oh well, let’s just go to sleep”. I tried to switch off all the lights. But the only thing the app showed was " Homey offline". Speech command resulted in “oops,…”. So homey is just another cloud solution, but taking up space in my livi…

[image] robertklep: And your issue is (IMO) a bug. And it has been since feb '19 and probably earlier. And a very annoying and critical one at that. I turned away from homey a long time ago, and honestly, I never looked back. They might have some niche features that others don’t have. But th…

Yes, I don’t like being held hostage with it. I want to be able to control things myself (Like simply turning off lights when I want them to, not when a specific flow triggers at midnight). Not being dependent on already configured flows. And the fact that this is an issue for a very long time, whil…

Clear, thanks. I myself don’t have the problem of being offline anymore since i changed my internal WiFi network by a mesh system (at least, i really don’t notice it anymore). But it did it’s job perfectly while being offline for short and longer periods, so i am satisfied with that. For most flows…

It does not. Without internet, no local access using the app, no voice control (duhhh) so no light switch for me. Luckily I kept the remotes… Once I have internet, I’ll assign one remote button to a flow to switch all lights. Still, one extra disappointment for this early adopter. One that made my…

That’s why i always build in a plan B… Whatever controller you use, they all have these disadvantages, some more than others. And i think Homey is among the others…

Is this still the case? I lost internet the other day and couldn’t control via app even though both were on local network…

In theory, it should work locally. In practice, it doesn’t. TL;DR: according to Athom, the mobile app uses an access token to access Homey locally, and that token has a reasonably large expiry (after which it requires an internet connection to be updated), but it regularly happens that when the int…

Urgh. Not ideal then really is it. Good job I can log in with the IP address from my desktop over LAN… oh wait

Long lease token my ****! Was in the app when internet just dropped. Loaded app straight back up and no local connection

Yes, this is a known issue. And with “known” I mean that lots of users are familiar with it, but somehow it has escaped Athom’s attention (or interest…).

Is there still no local access? (V2)
