Hello, My Homey Pro isn’t relyable. I have 40 + apps and almost 200 flows. Now my Homey Pro is getting slow en unreachable sometimes. I was searching and got an idea, maybe if I can replace the SOM ( system on a module). The Homey Pro has an [C1000DL](https://www.solid-run.com/wiki/doku.php?id=products:imx6:microsom:dual_lite) and can I simply replace the SOM with a [https://www.solid-run.com/wiki/doku.php?id=products:imx6:microsom:quad](https://www.solid-run.com/wiki/doku.php?id=products:imx6:microsom:quad) . The SOM is connected to the board with a Hirose DF40 connector. The thing is the software, how to get the homey’s software on the SOM. Anyone got an idea? Or only replace the processor and the memory chip? ---

Or perhaps try and find out why your current Homey is getting slow? 40+ apps and 200 flows isn’t an awful lot (in fact, Athom advertises the Homey Pro as being able to run “over 40 apps”). ---

I had contact with Athom about this and they suggested to deinstall some apps. I told them I can’t I need the apps. And that was the support. ---

Enable the “Power User” experiment so you get CPU/RAM graphs in Insights, perhaps there’s a specific app that’s using a lot of CPU or memory. Also try and see if there are particular flows that may be causing the problems. ---

I have it enabled and here is a screenshot: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/2/9/297db10df013ba56b4628fab21fb1b869d4a54e3.png) Here is a screenshot of Grafana: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/0/5/05cd6cb004cfa7d8e19e7648e596568ce086b931.png) But how can I see if a flow is causing problems? ---

“gemiddelde belasting” is high, around a 1.4 average, which means that there are always processes (= apps) waiting for the CPU. Try disabling apps one at a time to see if you can find a culprit, or look through the different apps’ CPU usage graphs to see if you can find an app that sticks out. I would start with apps that use Bluetooth, like the Beacon app. Finding problematic flows works the same: try disabling flows (perhaps ones that are run often, or have a lot of actions) to see if the CPU usage drops. ---

Foscam and Prometheus use more CPU than other apps, although not shockingly much (but worthwhile to disable them and see if that improves performance). I don’t know Realtime Homey Logger so not sure if it’s safe or not. If you have a lot of Z-Wave devices, search the forum to include those unsecure, I believe that a lot of people noticed a markable performance improvement after they did so. ---

So obviously something is making my Homey get a really high load every 45 minutes 24/7. Any tips on how to figure out this one? I guess it might be a flow as none of my apps are using more than 0.00008 (vThermo app) of the cpu. Any way to show the flow in a detailed scheduled view? ![SystemLoad](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/3/a/3a78535df72f6092b6576d65ba9dfead9a00afc2.jpeg) ---

I tried the Prometheus app once, because I wanted to use Grafana. It really slowed down my Homey. Couldn’t find a solution so I deleted Prometheus. Maybe you can disable the Promotheus app for a while to see if it makes any difference for you? ---

I dont have Promotheus installed. Just for fun, I stopped ALL my apps and still I get the peak every 45 minutes. That includes a reboot of Homey when all apps were disabled before rebooting. Still peaking. So that is interesting. I sent a support case of it and created a diagnostic report to see what Athom can tell me. [Next page](https://community.homey.app/t/replace-som/30917.md?page=2)
