Anyone can help to solve my homey, it was display red ring after update today. PTP had no affect. Power supply in good condition.

Solution:  
Step1: Put the Homey on Factory Reset mode.  
Step2: Using a laptop, browser, type the path: “[setup.athom.com](http://setup.athom.com)”.  
Step3: According to the instructions, connect Homey to your WiFi network, which has an internet connection.  
Step4: When it trying to conect to your WiFi netnork, press ALT button on your keyboard, and hold until the screen appears button “OK” to download firmware update. Now you can release the alt button and follow the instructions.

p/s: I emphasize that this is not a power problem, use the adapters and the cable that come with the device.

Try PTP

Guide to PTP:

> [@\[HOW TO\] ptp](https://community.homey.app/t/ptp-howto/17304):
>
> PTP [image] A lot of questions are asked about PTP. In this post a short explanation about PTP. What does PTP mean? PTP means Pull The plug. Make sure the power is off so not connected anymore. Pull the plug out of her! Now don’t put it back in too soon. Some say a few seconds is enough but experiance is learning that we need to power her down for at least 10 minutes. On the forums and on Slack u can see a lot of “11.2 minutes” power down. This ofcourse is a joke. The minimum of 10 minutes…

My Homey also is stuck on red ring now.  
First I tried Recovery Mode and pairing it back with the WiFi. It connects to WiFi successfully, starts yellow ring and is processing. Then turns to solid red after 5 minutes.  
Have tried PTP with 15 min waiting. It has working yellow ring for about 5-7 minutes, then lands back to solid red.  
Tried with different cable and adapter. It’s an original Homey (1) from late-mid 2018.  
I am trying anything to stay away from factory reset as it is connected to about 40 devices, and it has probably 100 flows.

Just throwing in my two cents. Are you also using the original power cord? (USB cable)  
some low end USB cables also cause issues with the power supply. (speaking with experience when I tried attaching the Homey sphere to a longer cable)

Same problem here. Tried all solutions mentioned and more, have been working on it for hours and hours. Since so many people are experiencing the same problem at the same time, it looks like things were changed at Athom? Can anyone from Athom respond, what is causing this problem and how can you solve it?

Athom generally does not read or respond to these topics so better file a support request.
