Hi, I have had my Homey for a few years, but never really got around to getting it working as I’d like. I’m about to start building my house, so really want to incorporate it into the build. I got it out of the cupboard and did the upside down trick for 10 seconds to factory reset. Then went to go through the home app ([setup.athom.com](http://setup.athom.com) only works for the app on the phone?) and it tells me I need a beta code to proceed? Surely I can get my device up and running without waiting for a beta code? can someone point me in the right direction please. ta ---

Ahh, thanks Dijker. Just assumed my older one wasn’t the pro. Not the most intuitive setup screen. Have set it up and connected to WIFI, just now getting a “sorry Homey cannot connect to server” silly message… ---

Have you reset Homey completely? Or are you not getting to that part? Are you running on some special network configuration, some special DNS servers or a PiHole? Was Homey already on the Firmware \> 2.0 ? Else maybe contact support at [Athom.com](http://Athom.com) ---

Yep reset fine. Upgraded firmware OK (think it was 3.1.2 when I got it connected). No special DNS, no pihole (yet), 2.4GHZ, no funny SSID names, etc. ---

Once you reset i thing it will upgrade to latest stable, maybe into or three runs. So doe you see it on your lan in DHCP and do you connect with it in the app? ---

Yep, can connect with it in the app, can make flows etc. Just can’t say “Ok Homey” It updated fine when it connected, currently 7.2.0 ---

Ah, but that is right - Homey speech recognition was abandoned. You’re supposed to use Google Home, Alexa or Hopmepod for that now: > [@End-of-life of Homey's speech recognition - Check your Flows](https://community.homey.app/t/end-of-life-of-homeys-speech-recognition-check-your-flows/41080): > > This topic is created to help show what flows need to be changed on Homey after April 1st 2021. Opening post shows the communication from Athom (email) 1st Reply will mention the Flow Cards that still work and Cards that will stop working and will be removed in a future Firmware update 2nd Reply I will show a Homey script to analyze your Flows so you can fix affected flows. Please keep it on-topic, about fixing the flows and not about the Athom’s decision . On April 1st the cloud servers… ---
