The ‘lights’ tile is showed in the devices view.  
For the other tiles, the Marketing dept. is ahead on the developers I guess 😉🤗

Is there a way on a Pro 2023 to force any Zwave devices to include Unsecure?  
More specifiaclly a Namron K8 (4512714). This device is uncluded as Secure (Unauthenticated) when utilizing the Namron app.  
All my 45 other zwave devices was included as Secure(x) by default.  
I am not able to do direct assosiations when som this part is on “wrong” secure level.

That’s the thing. It doesen’t in my app (or the web).  
I am pretty sure it did a couple of weeks ago. That’s why I asked if it is a setup. And I might have deactivate it…

I also noticed it NOT being there at first, but when I turned some lights on and off, it suddenly appeared.  
It also disappeared again, no clue how, but it’s not a setting.

This light feature is actually only available in the beta versions of the Homey smartphone apps (iOS = TestFlight / Android = Beta Program).  
When the first HP23 models were shipped, all users had to use the Homey App in a beta version. However, when the Homey App version v7.x became available as an official version, many users were excluded from the beta programs. So @Tobias_Flod and @Peter_Kawa, ou probably have the official version installed that doesn’t have this feature yet.

Hallo Dirk,

I don´t use Apple, but I just wanted to point out, in the Google app store, I have to (un)subscribe to the beta app updates myself; it is afaik not managable by anyone else, Athom included.

Hi, since my HP2019 was obviously linked via wifi i had to find a place in our house which is a bit away from the wifi access points. Now the hp2023 was delivered and im asking myself: when linked via the ethernet adapter, is that also that important? Best Regards

This was definitely the case for Apple users. Users were excluded from the TestFlight program (see [post](https://community.homey.app/t/homey-ios-ipados-smartphone-app-informationen-und-diskussionen-zu-neuen-app-updates/78213/22), only in German language).

When connected via ethernet the Homey will not be affected by any air based protocol, for the IP-communication.

When using Zigbee, Homey should not be placed near accesspoint (also 2,4GHz used). But it depends more on used Wifi/Zigbee channels. If possible, Zigbee should not overlap your Wifi channels.

Hi.

I have the Route column missing in my Zigbee Nodes overview for my HP23.  
But my HP19 does show the Route column.

Is that an option I should turn on? Or am I missing something else?
