I’ve been having an issue where several of my smart devices randomly disconnect from my Homey hub. It’s been frustrating because it happens without any clear pattern or warning. I decided to dive into the problem and figure out what’s going on.
First, I noticed that the disconnections often happened during peak usage times in my home. This made me think about potential network congestion. I started by checking my Wi-Fi signal strength around the devices. Some were in areas with weaker coverage, so I moved them closer to the router. This seemed to help a bit, but the problem still persisted.
Next, I looked into the device firmware. I found that some of my devices were running outdated versions. Updating them was a breeze, and it made a noticeable difference. I also noticed that the Homey app itself needed an update. After updating the app, the disconnections became less frequent.
Another thing I tried was resetting the Homey hub. I was hesitant at first, but it ended up being a good move. The reset process cleaned up some cached data and improved overall performance. I also started monitoring my network traffic to see if there were any spikes or unusual activity that could be causing the issue.
Through trial and error, I discovered that the problem was a combination of network congestion and outdated firmware. By addressing both, I’ve managed to keep my devices connected consistently. If you’re experiencing similar issues, I’d recommend checking your network strength, updating firmware, and resetting your hub if needed. It’s been a bit of a journey, but it’s satisfying to have a more reliable setup now.
