Meaning led ring color
Homey has a very (very!) nice led ring and the color of the ring must mean something. Can anyone tell me what which color means? My guess would be:
Yellow: Homey is starting, please wait
Red: Homey is dead, please disconnect power and restart
Blue: Homey is downloading something, you can still use me
Pink: Homey is updating, do not disconnect power
Rainbow: Homey is operational and waiting for an event

White: processing your voice
Yellow: also Homey is listening
White: Homey is interpretating the instructions it received
I restarted the homey and now it is flashing purple again.
Regular power-up: Orange ring turns red after a minute or so. Turning Homey up-side-down at any point during this process doesn't do anything
Up side down power-up: Starts with red ring, after a few seconds it turns pink... and stays that way.
Where do i put my saté-prikker to do a hardware reset?
Meaning of the ring colors should be explained during the setup process so people know what there homey is doing during the first power-cycles!
I remember an update where @Athom stated we couldn't brick Homeys with an update. I really hope that implemented in a good way and we can fix the issue. Not only for us, but also for Athom. It would be nice if we geeks can recover and start working on apps.
@Emile indeed said it and also that it should be possible to recover a "brick" homey by connecting it to a PC.
I never seen a piece of PC software, so probably that still under development or not ready (enough) to release to the public.
I have a red ring and because I'm only 1,5 meter away from the router I cannot imagine that to be the issue. But I'll try to place homey next to my router this evening
b. Wifi reception shouldn't have anything to do with not being able to reset Homey. What happens when i change routers, take my homey with me to a new location/wifi network or even only change wifi password!?
Homey gets no IP address I can't see if its connected to WiFi. It looks like it has forgotten its WiFi code but not starting the initial WiFi setup process.
Hmm okay, yeah I did have the problem of not getting 'past' the yellow ring after a reset.(red ring) After installing another access point next to homey, my problems were resolved.
Can't guarantee this will work for everybody though.
The locked Homeys can't setup anything anymore... setup.athom.com is not possible!
When you install something on Homey (app or voice) the blue ring shows you the percentage it has done.
With an app it's finished too fast, but you can see it nicely when downloading a voice
