Today I tried to change the SSID of our Homey pro. I’ve done this via Firefox.  
After I update the SSID succesfully, Homey won’t progress any further. It keeps saying endlessly that it is searching for software updates (Dutch):

 ![Zoeken_updates](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/7/f7d4f07412e9990460102caaf0ebee652b0775af.png)

I’ve rebooted (PtP) Homey over and over in recovery mode, but I never succeeded passing this screen. This means our house is pretty dumb at this moment, because Homey stopped working…

Any tips or suggestions I can try? Thanks in advance!

Doesn’t this help?  
“Update overslaan?”

Otherwise, try using the phone app:

## When you’re an existing Homey user

Plug Homey Pro in using the supplied power adapter. The LED Ring of Homey Pro will start rotating white, and after a few seconds pulse with a blue color to indicate it’s ready for set-up.

1. Open the Homey Mobile App on your iOS or Android device.
2. Navigate to the `More` tab → tap the `Name of your current Homey` button at the top of your screen.
3. Press the `+` symbol to add a new Homey.
4. Follow the steps on your screen to add the Homey Pro to your account.

Nope. That didn’t work. But suddenly Homey works again, with the new SSID. I realy don’t know how, because the update was still in progress this morning (I kept it on during the night). I chose to abort, turned the Homey back on it’s ‘feet’ and… There he was again.

Thanks anyway for the help!
