As mentioned earlier I would really like to see the Surveillance Mode icon from Heimdall in the display so it’s familiar and recognisable for users when they display Heimdalls Surveillance Mode.

If possible for weather use Openweather icons, many ( most?) of us using Ronnys Openweather App. 😀 ---

Perhaps another option to perhaps abandon the concept of 4 items. And that the display just scrolls through all the items listed. With the update time set. For example, scroll horizontally 2 by 2 on the display. ---

Is there anybody with the combination smpl display and homey 2023? Do I understand it right that this combination is not working and that we have to wait for an ‘rewrite’ of the zigbee code on Athom side? ---

Yes. We were waiting for a rewrite. The newest fw releases from Athom have fixed pairing. Now we are working on the data communication part. We need to get a new HP2023 to the team in Ukraine. As well as equipment for remote access to our developers environment in the Netherlands. And it is Easter, which is slowing things down. So it will take a couple of weeks. But we are getting there. ---

Currently the smpl mini display is not working on the HP2023. The device can be paired but updating the display is currently not possible. We are working on a solution for this. ---

That was exactly my question. I’ve bought this device recently because it is exactly where I was looking for. But… I cannot use it. So the question is… shall I keep it in the hope that I can use it in the near future or shall I return it. ---

Athom has made the re-write and it is now possible to pair the display successfully and quite easy. Next step is to enable updating. We need some time to test if this require a fix on the device or another re-write from Homey. It’s taking a little longer because of lack of availability of a HP2023 at our team in Ukraine and due to Easter time. But we will fix it. ---

**UPDATE on HP2023 support** The team in Ukraine finally received a HP2023 the week before last. After intensive testing together with our Dutch developer it was obvious that there was an issue on the Homey side and the team was able to deliver a specific error description to Athom. We sent a new device for testing and also delivered a test set-up to Athom, so they could reproduce the issue. Athom was very fast to look at the problem and returned yesterday with very positive news. They know what is wrong and is currently looking at the proper way to resolve it. We should expect a fix from them very soon. We then need to do a few tests to see if it also requires an adjustment in our Homey app, but a solution is getting very close now. We will announce the final fix on this channel as well as on relevant Homey FB groups and of course directly to existing customers who have contacted our support. ---

Any update on the homey 2023 issue . The Smpl not working is the only thing holding me back on migrating the main homey to the new hardware .
