Never done it myself, but as I understood reading the forum, you need to install the Homey app on your phone, where there would be a option to update your Homey.
To install firmware version 2.0 on your Homey, you first need to install the new mobile app on your smartphone. To do so, search for and install the Homey App from the Google Play Store (Android) or Apple iTunes (iOS).
Select your Homey
If you have more than one Homey linked to your account, select the Homey you want to update to Homey v2.0.
Press the install button and wait patiently while Homey downloads and installs the update. The LED Ring will show blue, orange, purple and orange again during the update.
That’s not the NEW app. Read the instructions carefully.
If the new app connects to an old version of Homey it asks (warns) you that you have to upgrade to a newer firmware and ask if you want to do that.
Okay. fixed it all. Documenting it here for the next unlucky fellow
So I uninstalled the app, and reinstalled it… from the app store I launched it and updated homey… all went fine… devices are there… all honky dory.
Minutes later started the app again and everything was broken again…
Turns out that the beta app was still on my device… I’m using a custom launcher, and that pointed to the beta version.
So this beta version nowhere shows up in the store list installed apps (also not under beta) you have to uninstall it using settings -> apps -> homey -> uninstall.
Yes i did. And that should be impossible if you really uninstalled it. And re-installation the wrong app would also have been impossible if it isn’t visible in the app store.
By clicking the link in the installation guide you would have installed the correct app straightaway.
But it’s working now, so
The problem is that the launcher link pointed to the old beta version, I guess you have an iPhone, where this indeed is not possible… on Andriod it is.
I’m trying to be helpful here for others that might experience the same, I suggest you stop being a smart ass about it.
Omfg, did the heat get you? Better cool off dude.
And to answer your question (i am raised to answer a question nicely and politely):
No, i have an android phone. And if i uninstall something, it is gone. No matter what launcher i have. Sorry for that.
By the way, you never did answer my first question. So i have to assume you didn’t.
