500: maintenance mode

Greetings from the Engine Room!

Sorry, but there's really nothing to see here right now. Our server is in maintenance mode – and our little bot is trying to sort the error messages with its last bit of energy.

Whether it was a data leak, a power outage in the cluster, or just a grumpy bit – we don't know yet. But what we do know is:

The data drama escalated into a server meltdown. But don't worry: We're on it.

What now?

Everything is surely running smoothly over at our colleagues from inside digital – why not stop by!
Or you could pass the time by visiting our social media channels – for example Instagram, YouTube or TikTok. At least there are no server problems there – promised.

Thanks for your patience. Our bot is already rebooting at full speed. 🔧

Athom Homey Pro Review: Smart Home that Just Works

While Matter keeps failing to fulfill its promise of ending the fragmentation of smart home standards (cue the classic XKCD strip), what if I told you there is a smart home hub with good multi-protocol, multi-brand compatibility, that is also easy to use? That is a good description for the Athom Homey Pro, but there are a few things to consider before buying one.
