My Homey Pro (Early 2023) is connected via LAN and wifi. Occasionally I see this animation on my Android phone when opening the Homey App: ![1000123279](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/5/d/5dde99e12f97df5c4523b1bafd8f0897623d77a1.png) What does it mean and why does it appear? ---

It shows that your Homey (phone) is connecting to your Homey. The way your Homey is connected to your network has nothing to do with it… 🙂 ---

Don’t you just love those fancy animations that take longer to run than making the actual connection does 😆
