wow, I must admid i’m shocked 😱 here. So in a weird case that all devices are close to Homey, you can only connect 20 devices. That certainly was not in the brochure 🤔.

I have regular issues with my Ikea thingymabob (more on that in the [IKEA thread](https://community.homey.app/t/official-ikea-tradfri-vs-ikea-tradfri-gatway-app/33597/21) but this is almost as you just cant automate a house with just a homey pro. you need external hubs to have it work decently. 😒
