yes, very odd as nothing has changed… maybe it will fix itself at some point…

Can’t test PC with hotspot as it has no wifi as its a desktop PC, not laptop.

Will log out of my profile today and then check tomorrow when I’m back on to see if it makes any difference as I tend to remember my login which it does for a certain time then it reverts to needing to login again :)

Might try creating a new profile and see after the above out of curiosity.

I’m assuming nothing obvious shows on any logs when I login?

Yes agreed, the other option is to get a Homeypro mini but it all depends how your devices communicate.  The Pro has more communication channels i.e. thread, matter, zigbee etc whereas the mini has less and would then mean buying the homeybridge to give the additional communication channels that’s not in the mini but that means 2 devices, 2 power supplies etc albeit is cheaper to buy the mini & the bridge than the pro but I quiet like the idea of it all in 1 device.

Only annoying thing is having to buy the USB-C to ethernet adapter as the pro doesn’t have built in ethernet port, seems a bit of a oversight, considering the mini has built in Ethernet port… maybe the next homeypro will be have built in.  However considering they say will support till June 2031 the homeypro 2026, effectively gives it 5 years support so in 5 years time, I’m guessing I’d have to then by 2 x homeypro2031’s which is somewhat of a downside considering the cost. They also don’t say whether the existing homeypro2026 will continue to work after this date or if features/abilities will be cut off and no longer work.  For instance like Google, the older thermostats no longer work remotely but I believe will work within the property but they have stopped remote access part, which was the big selling point of the system.

Good decision, I think paying off the mortgage is sensible option and I think most people use inheritance for this or at least part of this.  Yes, legacy is a big thing especially with the way things are going here, with AI etc, what jobs will be out there for the younger generation.

Personally I’m not married or have any kids so I don’t have to worry about ensuring family is provided for so to speak, obviously if I won lottery or similar then that would then be either use it to provide a better/more comfortable/work/life balance as potentially could get a lower paid job if required so spend more time with family as wouldn’t need to be chasing the money aspect etc.

Looks like I’ll need to get 2 so can control myself and parents place easily through 1 screen.  It seems there is homeylink that will like 2nd one to main one and show devices etc.

Bit annoying having to pay for 2 and they only advising this model be supported to 2031 so means another expense every few years to keep it current etc…

Another possible option is if I connect vpn to at my place from parents then it might see my devices but unsure if I turn vpn off, it might not work as I suspect no ports opened up at my place so would need vpn perm connected. Not sure that’s a good idea.

Homey pro 2026 is £399, previous version is £349 I believe and you can access remotely, I believe it sets all that up out the box but then I’ve also seen might need port forwarding enabled so not 100% sure yet. Considering later in the year when might be some discounts fingers crossed.

Thanks. Cant connect PC to hotspot as its desktop pc and no wifi.

hmm strange as vie not updated router or made any changes, maybe isp/dns issue as my router does disconnect and get a new ip etc periodically as I don’t have a fixed ip for internet.

Thanks

Hi,

I’ve tried in edge, chrome, chrome incognito and braver and brave private browsing, none show the like options….

bit strange, I don’t think I’ve ever used to site in edge as its not a browser I typically use..

Other than usual win updates, not made any changes to pc.
