> [@Tangodelta](#): > > Listed only upgrades Ok, but Homey already has USB, I once plugged a cheap Chinese UTP network adapter using a USB OTG adapter, when I reported a failed alpha firmware upgrade Athom reported I should unplug the network adapter. 😂 So hardware is not the biggest issue, just send a gross developers to Athom to get everything supported. ---

I am uncertain how CPU/memory constrained Homey actually is. HA does not require huge amounts of CPU or memory as it is event driven. However not having wired Ethernet is a serious omission and a minor engineering modification. Would love a POE option in that. ---

I think that an 4core [ARM Cortex-A57](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ARM_Cortex-A57) at 4.x GHz with 64bits, 32Gb memory and 256 Storage flash is sufficient. All radio’s, 2x USB-c, 1Gb/s Ethernet, Wifi 802.11ac And usb-c also support storage connection (and/or optional usb ethernet adapter instead of RJ45) Maybe a HDMI outlet to connect a monitor for showing a Dashboard. Then: small size, low power consumption and fan less to keep it quiet. And all apps converted to 64bits. And an app for connecting an UPS to it. ---

I would just like to see Ethernet instead of WiFi as that is one less radio to cause interference with the Z-Wave and ZigBee. Especially as most apps have to constantly poll for status updates. ---

I would definitely consider upgrading if there was an option with 4GB RAM and quad-core or perhaps even beefier dual-core. Ethernet would also be very nice. Oh, and 5GHz band for Wi-Fi. The current Homey Pro feels like too small of an upgrade (and part downgrade) to warrant a new investment, at least for me. ---

Does anyone of your really use all the power Homey Pro currently has? I have more than 50 devices connected to Homey via z-wave, zigbee and wifi and I am running 21 apps, but still my memory usage is less than 50% and also CPU load is rarely more than 50%. More power just because you can is always nice, but for me it would not provide a real benefit. ---

Oh yes, close to 100% on storage and memory on my pro! ---

I have close to 25apps and some upwards of a few hundred flows but already homey is at 80% memory and very high load. I’m polling apis for my air quality and weather every five minutes but maybe also because I have a lot of sensors. Everytime a zone triggers, it runs quite a few flows to determine what I might be doing and triggers a corresponding action. It runs fine if it’s just one person in the house I Guess but when there’s a lot of foot traffic at home I see honey sometimes slowing down in executing the actions… Not to mention the web interface is extremely slow when I pull up the flow editor. I would really appreciate a beefier CPU and ram… ---

Only upgrade ideas: - Wired LAN interface to not depend only on 2.4GHz WiFi connection - 5GHz WiFi support to avoid 2.4GHz interference - PoE powering to integrate better to the IT infrastructure - Integrated or snap-on stlye battery to make Homey uninterrupted - More robust ZigBee performance (More than 30-40 recommended device) - Cube design! 😉 ---

I would’t mind paying Athom and sending in my Pro to receive more storage, as well as a CPU/RAM upgrade. I wouldn’t consider replacing my Homey though. At this moment all works well enough, but i fear for a future where my storage and CPU/RAM will run out fast ---
