Dear Homey Support Team, I recently purchased the Homey Lifetime license and have been integrating it into my setup, currently running in a self-hosted environment on Synology. Overall, I see strong potential in the platform, but I have encountered several issues and limitations that I would like to report and clarify. 1. Automatic Updates in Self-Hosted (Synology) Description: Managing updates in the self-hosted deployment on Synology appears to be non-trivial and somewhat unclear. Issue: The update process does not seem to be automated or straightforward, which increases maintenance effort and potential for version inconsistencies. Expected behavior: A clearer or more automated update mechanism for self-hosted environments, or at least more explicit guidance/documentation. Actual behavior: Manual intervention is required, and the process is not intuitive. 2. Missing Energy Consumption Data in Browser Interface Description: When accessing Homey via a web browser, I am unable to view energy consumption data or related reports. Energy data and reports appear to be missing in the browser version. 3. Custom Dashboard Creation Description: The website indicates that customizable dashboards are supported. Issue: I am unable to locate where or how to create these dashboards within the interface. Expected behavior: A clearly accessible section or tool for creating and managing custom dashboards. Actual behavior: No obvious option or documentation path to create dashboards. Additional notes: - My setup includes integrations such as KNX and multiple automation flows. - I am comfortable providing logs, screenshots, or additional technical details if needed. I would appreciate clarification on whether these are known limitations, configuration issues, or features planned for future updates. Thank you for your support. Best regards, ---

> [@Tiago\_Baldaque](#): > > 1. The update process does not seem to be automated This differs on the used environment. For instance for Rpi hosts: ![Screenshot_20260611_181655_Ecosia](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/5/b/5b6dafb31945826c9021435f5665d94ab4fbe105.jpeg) Maybe it’s not possible to simplify the process due to running docker images @ Synology. > [@Tiago\_Baldaque](#): > > 1. or at least more explicit guidance/documentation. This is pretty straightforward, to me at least (no offence): ![Screenshot_20260611_182032_Ecosia](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/8/f8378db25e11ae8cb15e3c3087cae80db1a1d526.jpeg) The Self-hosted Homey is sort of targeted to “geeks”, maybe a Pro 2026 / Mini suits you better. Again, no offence. . > [@Tiago\_Baldaque](#): > > 1. Missing Energy Consumption Data in Browser Interface This is generic for any Homey. Only the mobile app shows the energy stuff. . > [@Tiago\_Baldaque](#): > > 1. I am unable to locate where or how to create these dashboards within the interface.

Only in the mobile app. If you want a web-based dashboard, you can check out [https://hdashboards.app/](https://hdashboards.app/), though it does require a subscription. ---
