Hello Thank you  
After I went to [https://setup.athom.com](https://setup.athom.com) I connect my wifi to the homey setup then the browser went automatically to select my wifi. After selecting I put password and press connect. Homey starts to blink blue then after a while it says ( sorry I culd not connect to this wifi ) then it goes back again to the start page

Looks to me that Homey setup is not done yet.  
The WiFi network of Homey (HomeySetup-2975F9) should not be there anymore me guess?

Since its not connecting to my router it’s staying with all the available wifi. So after homey says it cannot connect my mobile automatically connect to my wifi

Quit the mobile and fire up a desktop/laptop with the Chrome browser.

This is a issue multiple users have had.  
Im writing this in case it helps others…

I just tried to setup my new Homey, and also had a lot of issues with it.  
I have tried turning of 5 GHz on my Wifi, and changeing 2.4 GHz to only use G/B with no luck (This is mentioned in Homey’s support page).  
I tried turning of my wifi, creating a new mobile hopspot with same SSID and password, also no luck.  
Tried reboot and reset the Homey a few times.  
Tried to setup the unit from a Chrome browser on my laptop.

All of the above has been testet without luck a few times.  
After the last reboot it connected without any problems at all.  
Strange this issue is still on the unit after a few years…
