You’re welcome, Nisse.

The Homey wifi implementation seems to be very picky (like the previous generation 😉 )

I think for the wifi connection to be stable it’s important to:

- reserve an IP for the wifi MAC on your DHCP server
- Keep Homey a few meters from a wifi AP or wifi router
- Check were Homey sits, while it’s antenna’s are located at _the bottom_…
- Also, don’t put Homey on top of a speaker or amp or the likes (I’m sure you don’t, but it happens 🙃 )

When you have a wifi mesh system:

- “Glue” Homey to ONE AP by using band steering / MAC filtering / tuning transmit power

When it’s overheating send it back to Enschede I would say  
It should throttle the CPU speed down when it reaches 85°C

Volgens de datasheet: The BCM2711 will reduce the clock rate to try and keep its internal temperature below 85°C. So in high ambient temperatures it is possible that the clock will also be automatically throttled back. Als het straks 30°C is in de zomer verwacht ik dat een hoop Homey’s een stukje langzamer zullen zijn en/of dat de eerste “hoe monteer ik een fan …
