I have a Futurehome modeswitch connected to my Homey that I use a couple of times each day. When I came home earlier today it didn’t start the flow that is supposed to run when pressing one of the buttons. The small blue light lights up as normal when I press a button, but nothing happens. I tried again a few hours later with the other buttons, without any response. It’s a bit suspicious that the app claims that it still has 100 % battery, but I guess that the blue light wouldn’t light up if the battery is dead. Is there a way to see the last time Homey connected to it? And do anyone have any suggestions on what it might be? ---

Have you tried replacing the battery anyway? Maybe it has enough power to power the light, but not enough to send any signals (or maybe with too low antenna power, so Homey can’t receive it) ---

Unfortunately Bluetooth “is not the best part” of Homey. See if this page shows any useful info: [https://tools.developer.homey.app/tools/ble](https://tools.developer.homey.app/tools/ble) ---

Futurehome does not use Bluetooth though, BLE is only used for the Futurehome Charge to change to the Zigbee mode ---

I have the same problem with two Futurehome Mode Switches. Suddenly, they do not seem to work with Homey any more. ---

Futurehome app is recently updated to v1.10 and it seems to work again now (not fully tested all buttons yet). ---

Thank you, I just checked and it suddenly worked again.
