HI,

I have a homey pro and I have an orphaned device that I can’t update/amend/delete. I have added it back in and can control it but I can’t delete the orphaned device/icon.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Look for the device here:  
[https://tools.developer.homey.app/tools/devices](https://tools.developer.homey.app/tools/devices)  
and use the ‘bin’ icon on the right to remove it.

That _should_ do the trick😉

Oh my word. So simple, but only if you know. Thank you so much. It was driving me bonkers.

Also, that’s opened a new world of data to me. 😉
