I have read a lot of issues with the 5 volt adapter for the new Homey 2023, where the new homey 5.2 Volt adapter will improve the performance. My question is, will using a new 5.2 adapter also improve the old 2019 Homey performance, or are the performance issues just with the new model ? ---

> [@TheKos](#): > > just with the new model ? the 5.2Volt specific adapter is just for the New Model, because only that model underperforms when having les than required voltage. The old model only showed instability on a instable USB powersupply. So only if you experience instability, you should replace it by another 5 Volt / 2000mA USB adapter that you know is good. ---
