did you test if it works when you change your wifi network name ? to a simple one 

I tested different SSIDs, different passwords, and a lot more... I've been trying running the setup from different devices and tried lots of different router settings. Nothing works for me. See my feedback in the "Homey unable to connect to wifi" thread. On top of that, changing router settings to get it to work should not be necessary. I have ~20 different devices of various types that are able to connect to my WiFi network without any issues... Homey is the first one that can't. To me that's definitely a critical bug in their programming.

It might be a faulty unit? It's sad, but on average 3% of all devices that leave a factory are broken, so you may just be in that unlucky group. The Xbox 360 had a slightly higher RMA rate

I doubt it. See also my issue description on Github.  Homey is apparently able to setup its own server, connecting to that server works just fine, Homey only fails once it has received the new IP address from my router and should connect to the internal network. Definitely looks like a software issue to me.

Either way... I'll give Athom time until Wednesday to come up with a way to get this solved. The last reply I have from Stefan (from early Thursday afternoon) when I asked him to "please let me know my options" was just "Let me know if it starts working. Sometimes it also helps to just try 5 times - in the setup homey sometimes has difficulties switching wifi networks. Later on everything will work smoothly though"  - which doesn't help at all, and looks extremely unprofessional to me!

But I don't want to sidetrack this thread any further... there already is a separate thread about discussing the WiFi problems. I just wanted to chime in and state that, at this stage, I very well understand MarcoF's point of view, and as is, I definitely would not recommend to anyone, not even to my geek friends. For a long time I was very patient and have been defending Athom, but they really do need to grow up and get their act together. The product is way past the stage where they can just play around and do what they consider to be "fun".

Have you tried to type in your WiFi network, not just selecting ?

@novaflash ;

I can understand your situation and agree that If you feel this way you should check back later on.

What I don't understand is why someone would be sending back their product, set up another one and keep posting negative posts based on other ones experiences.  like
@MarcoF ;

Mm, yeah, that is a bit strange I guess.

I never send back a Homey..... Running Vera3 for about 3 years....

I tried that, and a lot more. Makes no difference at all.

Thanx will do until homey is pretty stable! I hope the next patch Friday will bring a lot of goodness and brings homey to another level! I'm sure the community will get this done! 

I love forums

Also interesting on Slack, new flow management movie

That is a really nice improvement. Visually looks great, clean and minimalistic. Congratulation. Just a constructive note: It would be handy if the search would reveal only the flows not making the user to click through the folder structure (or reveal them in expanded view). The window could be a tiny bit bigger to save some scrolling.

Nice job.

They have done really well, looking at that movie.
