There is no flow-command to reset the Bridge, maybe you can switch the bridge off an on with a smart-plug or a clock-switched-plug.

But this is not normal, contact Athom Service, as it is still Beta.

Unfortunately it is a known issue (but Atom choose to not list it as a known issue). Have the same problem.

Did you find a solution to reboot it?

How about a non-smart timer socket?

Or another Homey Bridge and two smart sockets so each one can reboot the other one… 🙄

HS100 or HS110

Even Homey can restart the bridge then.

That is a good idea! Will use a Shelly plug instead since I already have Shelly stuff.

Since there’s now way to contact Athom for an enhancement request: I’m hoping they read the forums. There really should be an option to reboot your Homey Bridge normally, without having to use a smart plug. My zwave network sometimes needs a reboot and fiddling with the micro usb long term doesn’t seem like it would be good for my bridge. USB C would be a different story, but I’m affraid I’ll one day might damage the connector. Shouldn’t be to hard to implement I reckon.

You can make requests the same way you would contact them for support via:

> **[Support | Homey](https://homey.app/en-us/support/)**

In addition there is a dedicated section on this forum for discussing feature requests. I am not sure though to what extent Athom monitors that forum section.
