How do we change the Bridge to show in F instead of C?

Welcome to the community,

Homey and Applications should switch to °F automatically from °C if you set the Location.  
afaik there is no setting to switch if you prefer other units.

I have seen Issues in Applications not using the correct Units (displaying temperature in F displaying a C as unit. (fe 68 °C ) )  
Please report these issues at the developer of the application, at Athom support or here:

Thanks for the welcome. I am seeing this issue and a time issue with the Fibaro app. It is showing C and I am in the US. Also it is speaking the time as 24hr instead of 12hr. I cannot find where there are any settings for these. You said to contact the app dev but I am new and not sure how to do that.  
Also the temps are showing the number as F with a symbol of C as you suggested. Thanks

Try to change your location to f.i. France and then back to your home location via …More\>Settings\>Location  
Keep “Find location automatically” disabled

It seems to find my location via the map. With your instructions it shows under Location ‘Enable Home/Away Detection’ and it is enabled. There was no way to change to another country and then back to USA even it is disabled. Could this be the difference between the Bridge and the Pro? Do you have the Pro? Thanks

Owww my bad! I have the Pro and the Homey Cloud.  
I did not realize the location settings are different.  
However, if I shrink the map, I can put the pointer at California f.i. (I’m in Western Europe).  
Afaik it’s the only way to ‘reset’ the time and metrics settings.  
Maybe a ‘restart’ makes a difference, but that’s a longshot:  
Change the language and change it back let’s Homey ‘restart’.

Homey (beta) can’t be restarted from settings.  
Thats only for Homey Pro

 ![Screenshot_20220119-065530_Homey](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/3/6/3654b0c9845c4ac0d7b98c99c79ad4121c21f87e.jpeg)

There is a restart button in developer tools but that shouldn’t have much impact.  
Edit 2: the display of units like °C or °F are not by language but depending on location of Homeys Home. (Regardless of using a Bridge)

Just moving the map switches some of Homey interface to F but some parts of the interface and apps are not yet properly handled by internationalization.

Pls Report them to Athom support with screenshots.

Here

Or here  
please contact our Support Team, so we can help you.  
[https://support.athom.com/hc/en-us/requests/new](https://support.athom.com/hc/en-us/requests/new)

Afaik this part of i18n with units is new for the Homey and not(yet) in Homey Pro firmware.

Yes, like I wrote, you can by changing the language temporary.  
Because If you change the language, the only thing you have to do is hit the “Reboot” text to let Homey restart.  
Screenshot Homey cloud:

I know. The language thing had only to do with the way to ‘restart’ Homey cloud. Nothing more.

Thanks guys. I changed the language from english to spanish and then back to english but now under Timeline I get mixed languages. Some words under timeline are in spanish and some in english. It has Usuarios which in google means Users and Seguridad which means Security. The other two, Presence and Homey Bridge are correct.  
I logged out of the app and back in but no change to the language issue but it did remove my favorite device and my favorite flow from the Home page (THEY HAVE RE-APPEARED). The Devices and Flows are okay. The bridge disconnected and re-connected a couple times then stayed connected.  
Under Family and Guests I see two entries for ‘Awaiting Confirmation’ but I haven’t added any Family or Guests.  
This gets even better. The Web UI shows my favorite device and favorite flow, unlike the app (SEE ABOVE), and it shows the temp in F on the Home page.

This still appears to be an issue here in the USA. I have a Third Reality Temperature and Humidity sensor that is reporting 75.2 degrees Fahrenheit on the sensor and within Homey it is reporting 167 degrees F. Why is there not proper code in the hardware to detect the location and make the appropriate adjustment. The hub appears to be interpreting the sensor reading as a Celsius temperature and converting it to Fahrenheit and then displaying it as an extremely high Fahrenheit temp in the Homey Pro app:

 ![25124](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/1/f1d524785ca79bb47b0a589c821c1e97252d92ed.jpeg)

Note: I am also seeing wrong temps on my SmartThings Multi-Purpose sensors and my Zooz 4-in1 sensor sensors. For some reason the Fibaro Door/Window sensor is displaying correctly. Also note that I have brought these sensors over via a Personal Access Token from from my SmartThings hub. They are being supplied to my Homey Pro hub via the “SmartThings 2” app that I accessed from the Homey Community Store.

How do I fix this for the Homey Pro hub USA?

You contact Athom.

Somehow I believe that Athom will advise that it is not their problem because I am bringing in SmartThings devices via an unofficial community app. If there was a sanctioned Homey Pro app for the devices mentioned the developer could/would likely address the conversion issue specific to the users country of residence.

Okay, if you don’t want to contact Athom to ask them to allow setting the temperature scale on a per-device basis, contact the developer of the SmartThings 2 app 🤷🏼‍♂️
