Homey

Homey is a smart home platform that lets you control, automate, and monitor all your compatible devices — lights, locks, thermostats, sensors, plugs, and more — from a single app. You can manage everything from your phone, tablet, or desktop, whether you're at home or away. It supports over 50,000 devices from more than 100 brands, including Philips Hue, IKEA Trådfri, Sonos, Nuki, and Honeywell. No need to juggle multiple apps for different brands.

Homey works through a central hub (Homey Pro or Homey Bridge) that connects via Wi-Fi, Zigbee, Z-Wave, and other protocols. The app lets you create simple If-Then automations called Flows — for example, 'turn off all lights when I leave home.' Advanced Flow adds more complex logic with multiple triggers and conditions. You can also build custom dashboards, set light presets with Moods, and track device history with Insights. The Energy feature monitors real-time power usage and helps you save money. Homey Cloud offers a free tier for up to five devices, with a premium subscription for unlimited devices. Homey Pro is a fully local, subscription-free hub for advanced users. Recently, Homey also became available as a ChatGPT plugin, enabling voice control through natural language.

This platform is ideal for homeowners who want a unified smart home experience without the hassle of multiple apps. It's also a good fit for tech enthusiasts who enjoy building complex automations and monitoring energy consumption. Whether you are starting with a few smart bulbs or going all-in with a fully automated house, Homey scales to match your needs.
