For a couple of days, I’ve had major issues accessing my Homey from both the Android app and PC. I get various error messages, including “Cannot connect to Homey” and “handshake error.” It works occasionally, though—if I try accessing it via the app or PC about 15 times in a day, I might get through 1-2 times total. Homey has an IP address the whole time, and everything looks fine in my Wi-Fi (Unifi network). If I go to Homey’s local IP address, I reach a page that directs me to download the app for Apple or Android, so it seems to be working fine with my Wi-Fi. Does anyone have an idea what could be causing this? Both Homey and my network have been restarted multiple times without success.

Any adblocking dns (adguard/pilhole) used?

No, and no changes made to anything (homey or unifi network)

Some users experience ipv6 issues, not sure if used with you internally. If so temporarily turn it off and see if it improves.

When you use Access Points, make sure Homey is “glued” to one AP, to prevent hopping  
Here’s more useful info:

> [@Problems connecting your new Homey Pro to your WiFi? Try this!](https://community.homey.app/t/problems-connecting-your-new-homey-pro-to-your-wifi-try-this/10161):
>
> Make sure your WiFi is using the 2.4 GHz network. Make sure your WiFi uses the b / g standard, only n or ac does not work. Turn off your Homey. Restart your Router and any Access Points that distribute IP addresses. Start your Homey again. If the above do not work, turn off 5 GHz WiFi and support for n and ac in your Router / Access Point during Homey installation. Ensure that your SSID (the name of your WiFi) does not use characters other than numbers and letters - do not us…

Problem now solved, it was a faulty power adapter 🙈
