Homey Pro | Smart Home Hub for Home Automation – Features Z-Wave Plus, Zigbee, Wi-Fi, BLE, Infrared, Matter & Thread. Compatible with Apple Siri, Amazon Alexa & Google Home.

I’ve been using the Homey Pro for a few months now, and I have to say—it’s one of the most powerful and versatile smart home hubs I’ve tried. The setup was surprisingly smooth, and I love that it supports so many different protocols (Zigbee, Z-Wave, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and more). Unlike other hubs that lock you into a specific ecosystem, Homey Pro gives you the freedom to mix and match devices from different brands, which is a game-changer if you already have a bunch of smart home gear.The automation capabilities are where this thing really shines. The Homey Flow system makes it super easy to create complex routines without needing to be a programmer. I’ve set up routines that adjust my lights, thermostat, and security system based on time, motion, and even weather conditions—all from one app. The interface is clean and intuitive, which is a huge plus.Performance-wise, it’s been rock solid. The response time is quick, and I haven’t run into any connectivity issues. I also appreciate that it works locally, so even if my internet goes down, my automations still run.That said, it’s not the cheapest option out there, and it might feel overwhelming if you’re just getting started with smart home tech. But if you want a powerful, future-proof hub that gives you total control over your smart home, Homey Pro is absolutely worth it.Would I recommend it? 100%—especially if you’re a smart home enthusiast who wants everything to work together seamlessly.

I have been using Homey Pro for a little over a year now. Prior to switching to Homey, I was using Apple HomeKit. That was great when I was new to building a smart home, but as time went on, I was growing more and more frustrated with Apple refusing to allow for any kind of advanced automations and with them taking forever to implement even the most basic features and device types. After wanting to try something else, I started using Home Assistant. That is extremely powerful and there isn’t much you can’t do with it, but I also felt like I needed a coding degree to set up even the most basic automations. Having a smart home is fun for me and I had very little fun using Home Assistant. This is when I decided to give Homey a try and I am SO glad I did.Homey has been nothing but amazing. They are fairly new to the US market, so there are some apps and some brands that don’t work at the moment, but unlike Apple, Homey actually interacts with and listens to it’s users. There have been so many new features, small and large, that have been implemented in just the past year alone. They are constantly working with companies to get more brand compatibility as well. I’ve really only had one brand that didn’t work for me and it wasn’t a big deal at all. VOCOlinc. Everything else that I already had, worked like a charm.Creating automations with Homey Pro is super fun. The smallest, simplest automations and the most complex ones. So far, there hasn’t been an automation that I wanted to do with Homey and wasn’t able to. The automations are fast and never fail to work. If an automation were to not work properly, you can get a notification sent to you and troubleshooting it is easy. You can see exactly where the automation failed and get right to fixing it, rather than having to test every part of it individually.People always complain about the price being too high, but honestly, if you can’t afford this, you probably got into the wrong hobby. It’s really not that bad, especially with everything you are getting and everything already being built in to the Homey Pro itself. I don’t need to go buy dongles and other accessories for it to work how I want it to, like I would with Home Assistant, for example. One purchase and you’re set.It’s hard for me to come up with anything I don’t like about Homey. It’s truly a great system and I would recommend it to anyone. Best smart home decision of my life.

DO NOT buy if your device does NOT have officially supported App.I've been slowly massing smart devices, but no hub. Most of them connected directly to the wifi router and while I was happy with that for the most part. This meant I couldn't really make them "smart". So it always felt like a jumble of services that I couldn't keep track.OG Review :Enter Homey. So far most of the devices I own connected the same way Google Home/Samsung SmartThings did. Curiously some with more features (like my eufy C2 cameras reporting temperatures which not even the Eufy app shows) and some less (Energy monitoring for my Kasa KP125M is not present).Speaking of that Kasa smart outlet. I specifically bought the matter enabled one because I wanted to lessen my "smart home" accounts down. Unfortunately I ran into some issues adding this device as it needed a firmware update which can only be done if you add it via Kasa. Once I did, I ran into another issue. I needed to be on 2.4Ghz which I didn't know it was a problem because Homey just errored out when I tried to add this, but adding it via android gave me helpful tips. So I was able to add them to Homey via "add via Android". Not sure if this was a Homey problem or Kasa problem1 Month Update :I've added 3 Z-wave switches and so far they are working great. I'm not a huge fan of how delayed the reactions are on the hub, but I think that's just a limitation of the Z-wave itself not Homey.One thing I did notice was that wifi connection wasn't stable enough for me despite this hub sitting with in feet of the router with no walls in between. So I ended up getting the ethernet adapter. Which is mildly infuriating that a $350 hub doesn't even come with such basics as ethernet port, but alas.At least it made my Homey connection stable, and I'm absolutely loving all the advanced flow that I've added. All those automations that had to happen on 3-5 different services and crossing my fingers they'd work together now feels like old news as I've transitioned most of it into Homey. There are few things I wish it could do, but this is a strong start.4 Month Update :As some of the other reviewers have pointed out the "official app" supports are kind of middling. This seems to be a problem due to European nature of the company behind it. It has a great number of support for products that isn't available in US. There are some "community apps" that seems to have fill some void, but not at the level something like HomeAssistant has. With that said I'm still happy with the decision to buy this over other products, and I've love using it. I do hope that with the recent news of LG's acquisition of Homey means they'll be able to crank up their 3rd party integration work faster.6 Month Update :As I'm slowly venturing out to more Z-wave devices I've ran into a wall. I wanted to add Stelpro Z-Wave Plus KI STZW402WB+ Thermostat for Electric Baseboards. Unfortunately it does NOT have a Homey App and since Homey has not written a robust enough Generic drive for Z-Wave. While I was able to add the device to my Z-Wave network it does not recognize it as thermostat rendering the "smart" part of the device useless. Beyond frustrating to find out that a device that costs x2-3 times other hubs does not have robust support. Their "request a brand" page is a complete joke as well. I've put in a request for Cielo who makes Smart AC Controller. It's been 6 months and I haven't heard a beep, not to mention that the request has mysteriously disappeared from their forum. I just wish I knew this earlier because it's beyond my return period.
