I have a lot of problems adding devices from Ikea. A lot of those work now, but still I have some lamps which I’m not able to connect. Then I deceided to switch to Innr, but I can’t even connect one. I got the advice to connect them via a Philips bridge, but I think that’s not what the Homey is for. Btw, I managed to connect a Ikea GU10 direct to Amazon Alexa, which is not possible with Homey. ---

Which Homey Firmware? How many Zigbee devices are already paired?

The answer can be read in the 2nd link @DirkG provided. - 1. Don’t build too big Using Zigbee routers you can create a stable Zigbee network of around 30-40 devices with Homey. It is possible to add more Zigbee devices and keep extending your network. However, we do not recommend creating these bigger Zigbee networks with Homey.\* ---
