Homey is a smart home platform made by Athom B.V. in the Netherlands. It comes as the Homey Pro and Pro mini hubs, the hosted Homey Cloud, and the Homey Self-Hosted Server, with the Homey Bridge adding radios. Devices are controlled in the Homey app, automated with Flows and extended with apps from the Homey App Store.

Works with full table
Homey Pro and Pro mini run locally and carry radios for Zigbee, Matter and Thread, with Pro also covering Z-Wave, Bluetooth, 433 MHz, infrared and Wi-Fi. Homey Cloud needs no hub but has no radios, so Zigbee, Z-Wave and similar devices need a Homey Bridge. Self-Hosted Server runs on your own Linux hardware and also uses a Bridge for those radios. Matter devices connect to Homey, and the Matter Bridge app can share Homey-connected devices with Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa, SmartThings and Home Assistant.
That suits people who want one commercial platform with several radios, an app store and a developer SDK, and who accept that hardware choice affects features. It is more limited on Homey Cloud, which lacks Matter, Thread, LAN devices and community apps and needs internet, and on Self-Hosted Server, where you handle hardware and updates and get no direct technical support. Homey Pro costs more up front than the free Cloud tier, and Premium is a subscription.

| Platform | Status | What it means | Sources |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hardware, editions and installation | |||
| Homey Pro | Yes | A local-first hub. Radios built in, as listed on the Homey Pro page: Wi-Fi (2.4 and 5 GHz), Bluetooth LE 5.0, Zigbee 3.0, Z-Wave 700 Series, infrared, 433 MHz (turned off in the US, Canada and South Korea), Thread (Border Router) and Matter v1.5. The same page lists 4 GB RAM and a US price of $449, and says software updates are promised until at least June 2031. Wired Ethernet needs the separate Homey Pro Ethernet Adapter (listed at $29). Runs official and community apps. Automations keep running without internet, while cloud-dependent features still need a connection. Older Homey Pro (Early 2019) hardware also exists; the Apps SDK says 868 MHz is only available on Homey Pro 2019 or earlier models. Prices on older Athom wiki articles differ from the current product page, so check the live price. | Homey Pro page Which Homey is right for you (compare page) Homey technology page Apps SDK: 433 MHz and 868 MHz |
| Homey Pro mini | Yes | A smaller local-first hub with Ethernet, Zigbee, Thread and Matter built in. It has no Wi-Fi of its own and no built-in Z-Wave, Bluetooth, infrared or 433 MHz; those need a Homey Bridge. Acts as a Thread Border Router. 1 GB RAM. Athom's compare page says roughly 20 to 25 apps run comfortably, while the launch post said it supports up to 20 apps, so the app ceiling is stated differently on the two pages. The compare page lists a US price of $249 (the launch post listed $199 for pre-orders). Runs official and community apps. | Which Homey is right for you (compare page) Introducing Homey Pro mini |
| Homey Bridge | Yes | A radio add-on that uses Wi-Fi for its internet connection and adds wireless protocols to Homey: Zigbee, Z-Wave, Bluetooth, 433 MHz and infrared (433 MHz is turned off in the US, Canada and South Korea). US price shown: $69. With Homey Cloud, one Bridge is supported and the page gives device limits of about 240 Z-Wave and 50 Zigbee devices. With Homey Pro and Pro mini, multiple Bridges are supported and extend coverage (Satellite Mode). With Self-Hosted Server it adds Zigbee, Z-Wave, Bluetooth, infrared and 433 MHz. The page does not mention Matter for the Bridge. The Bridge page says Flows stop working when the internet is down. | Homey Bridge page Which Homey is right for you (compare page) Homey Self-Hosted Server page |
| Homey Cloud | Yes | A hosted service used through the Homey app and web app, with no hub. Free for up to five devices; Homey Premium (listed at $2.99 a month) unlocks unlimited devices, Advanced Flow, Insights and Logic and Variables. Per Athom's compare page it has no radios of its own, needs an internet connection, supports official apps only (no community apps), and does not support Matter, Thread or local network (LAN) devices. Zigbee, Z-Wave, Bluetooth, infrared and 433 MHz require a Homey Bridge. | Homey Cloud page Which Homey is right for you (compare page) Homey home page (US) |
| Homey Self-Hosted Server | Yes | Homey software, based on the Homey Pro operating system but not identical to it, that you run on your own hardware. Requirements listed: a Linux-based OS with Docker on ARM64 or AMD64, and a 1.5 GHz CPU or faster recommended. The setup list names Raspberry Pi, Linux, macOS, Windows, Docker, Proxmox, TrueNAS, QNAP, Synology and Unraid, and the page also says the system requirements specify Linux with Docker. Price listed: $4.99 a month or a $149 lifetime licence after a 30-day trial (the launch post gives the same amounts in euros). Zigbee, Z-Wave, Bluetooth, infrared and 433 MHz need a Homey Bridge; generic USB radio dongles are not supported. Includes official and community apps, Wi-Fi, Ethernet and Matter connectivity. Athom gives no direct technical support for individual installations, and user data cannot currently be migrated from Homey Cloud, Pro or Pro mini. | Homey Self-Hosted Server page Which Homey is right for you (compare page) Introducing Homey Self-Hosted Server |
| Homey Energy Dongle | Not mentioned | Athom's overview lists it as a device that monitors real-time energy use via a smart meter's P1 port. The Energy feature page describes a dongle for tracking energy use in real time but gives no price or supported meters, so those details are unconfirmed here. The dongle's own product page could not be opened. | Homey page overview (llms.txt) Homey Energy feature page |
| Homey Pro Ethernet Adapter and Homey Pro Backups | Unconfirmed | The Ethernet Adapter gives Homey Pro wired network connectivity. Homey Pro Backups is a cloud backup service for Homey Pro and Homey Pro mini. Official pages disagree on the backup price: the Homey Pro page lists $10 per year, while the App Store listing shows an in-app purchase of $0.99. | Homey page overview (llms.txt) Homey Pro page Homey on the App Store (US) |
| Protocols and ecosystems | |||
| Wi-Fi and local network (LAN) | Yes | Homey Pro has Wi-Fi built in; Homey Pro mini does not (Ethernet only). Self-Hosted Server lists Wi-Fi and Ethernet connectivity. Homey Cloud does not support LAN devices. The Apps SDK says Homey Bridge does not support local Wi-Fi connections, so mDNS, SSDP and MAC discovery and the lan connectivity option are unavailable there. | Homey Pro page Which Homey is right for you (compare page) Homey Self-Hosted Server page Apps SDK: Homey Cloud |
| Bluetooth | Yes | Bluetooth LE 5.0 is built into Homey Pro. Pro mini, Self-Hosted Server and Homey Cloud need a Homey Bridge for Bluetooth. | Homey Pro page Which Homey is right for you (compare page) |
| Zigbee | Yes | Zigbee 3.0 is built into Homey Pro and Zigbee is built into Pro mini. Cloud and Self-Hosted Server need a Homey Bridge. On Homey Cloud the Bridge page gives a limit of about 50 Zigbee devices. | Homey Pro page Which Homey is right for you (compare page) Homey Bridge page |
| Z-Wave | Yes | Z-Wave 700 Series is built into Homey Pro. Pro mini, Cloud and Self-Hosted Server need a Homey Bridge. On Homey Cloud the Bridge page gives a limit of about 240 Z-Wave devices. | Homey Pro page Which Homey is right for you (compare page) Homey Bridge page |
| Thread | Unconfirmed | Homey Pro and Pro mini act as Thread Border Routers, so Matter-over-Thread devices connect directly. Homey Cloud does not support Thread. For Self-Hosted Server, Athom's support article says Matter-over-Thread works only with an existing Thread Border Router on the local network, but the compare page FAQ says Thread is not available even with a Bridge connected, and the product page comparison table shows no Thread support. The pages are worded differently, so the status is unclear. | Which Homey is right for you (compare page) Why Homey is a hub with Matter support Matter-over-Thread with Self-Hosted Server Homey Self-Hosted Server page |
| 433 MHz and 868 MHz | Yes | 433 MHz is built into Homey Pro and available through Homey Bridge, and is turned off on both in the US, Canada and South Korea. 868 MHz is not listed on the current Homey Pro, Pro mini or Bridge pages; the Apps SDK says it is only available on Homey Pro 2019 or earlier models, and that rf868 is not possible with Homey Bridge. | Homey Pro page Homey Bridge page Apps SDK: 433 MHz and 868 MHz Apps SDK: Homey Cloud |
| Infrared | Yes | Built into Homey Pro; Pro mini, Cloud and Self-Hosted Server need a Homey Bridge. The Bridge page notes infrared signals come from the top of the device and cannot pass through walls. | Homey Pro page Which Homey is right for you (compare page) Homey Bridge page |
| Matter: controller role | Yes | Athom describes Homey Pro and Pro mini as Matter controllers with Thread Border Router functionality. Athom's news page says Homey received Matter 1.5 certification from the Connectivity Standards Alliance, covering Homey Pro (2023 to 2026), Pro mini and Self-Hosted Server (the page gives only a relative date, so the exact date is unconfirmed). Matter devices are added in the Homey app, over Thread via the Pro's own Thread network or over Wi-Fi. Homey Cloud does not support Matter. Matter-over-Thread on Self-Hosted Server is covered in the Thread row. | Why Homey is a hub with Matter support Homey is now Matter 1.5 certified Connect a Matter or Thread device Apps SDK: Matter Which Homey is right for you (compare page) |
| Matter: bridge role (Matter Bridge app) | Official | An official Homey app that shares Homey-connected devices, including Zigbee, Z-Wave, 433 MHz and infrared devices, with other Matter platforms: Apple Home, Google Home, Amazon Alexa, Samsung SmartThings and Home Assistant. Athom's news page says it works with Homey Pro (2023 to 2026), Pro mini and Self-Hosted Server and does not mention Homey Cloud. Only features defined by Matter and supported by the receiving platform are exposed; energy reporting and multi-channel devices may not appear. If Homey loses access to a device, the bridged device becomes unavailable on every platform. | Matter Bridge app explained Introducing the Matter Bridge app Homey is now Matter 1.5 certified |
| Amazon Alexa | Official | Homey has an Alexa skill. Favourite Flows appear as Alexa scenes, and devices can be discovered in the Alexa app. Athom's voice page lists Homey Pro, Pro mini and Self-Hosted Server and does not mention Homey Cloud, so Cloud support is not confirmed here. Alexa can also reach Homey devices through the Matter Bridge app. | Connect Homey with Amazon Alexa Controlling Homey with voice assistants Matter Bridge app explained Alexa Skills store |
| Google Home | Official | Linked through Works with Google in the Google Home app. Optional device synchronisation (off by default) is available only on Homey Pro. Favourite Flows can be started by voice. Google Home can also reach Homey devices through the Matter Bridge app. Athom's voice page lists Homey Pro, Pro mini and Self-Hosted Server and does not mention Homey Cloud. | Connect Homey with Google Home Controlling Homey with voice assistants Matter Bridge app explained Google Home compatible devices |
| Apple Home and Siri | Official | On iOS, Flows can be started through Siri Shortcuts using the Homey app. Homey devices can be exposed to Apple Home through the Matter Bridge app, including non-Matter devices such as a 433 MHz blind or a Z-Wave thermostat. Athom's own comparison says Homey has no built-in voice assistant of its own. We did not find an Athom page describing a separate native HomeKit integration. | Comparing Homey Pro and Apple Home Controlling Homey with voice assistants Introducing the Matter Bridge app |
| Samsung SmartThings | Official | Via the Matter Bridge app, SmartThings is named as a platform that can use Homey-connected devices. Athom's comparison page also says Homey can work with many Samsung devices depending on available apps. That page is published by Athom. | Matter Bridge app explained Homey Pro vs Samsung SmartThings SmartThings supported devices |
| Home Assistant | Official | Named alongside Apple Home, Google Home, Alexa and SmartThings as a platform that can receive Homey devices through the Matter Bridge app. We found no other Athom page describing a Home Assistant integration. | Matter Bridge app explained Home Assistant integrations |
| Philips Hue | Official | Athom publishes an official Philips Hue app listed for Homey Cloud, Homey Pro, Pro mini and Self-Hosted Server. The listing says it requires the Philips Hue Bridge. A separate Athom page says Hue devices can also be paired to Homey Pro directly over Zigbee, as a fully local setup, or connected through the Hue Bridge to keep Hue's own dynamic scenes and TV sync. | Philips Hue app for Homey Works with Homey: Philips Hue Works with Philips Hue |
| KNX | Unconfirmed | An official KNX app by Athom is listed for Homey Cloud, Pro, Pro mini and Self-Hosted Server. Its device entries show Technology: LAN and the label Homey Bridge required, and the page does not explain why. We could not resolve that label against the Apps SDK statement that Bridge does not support LAN connectivity. | KNX app for Homey Apps SDK: Homey Cloud |
| MQTT | Community | An MQTT Client app is labelled Community on its Homey App Store page, with a developer who is not Athom. Its page lists Homey Cloud among the platforms, which does not match Athom's statement that Homey Cloud runs official apps only, so the Cloud listing is unclear. An app with an Athom-style id, Mosquitto MQTT client, appears in search results; we could not open it. | MQTT Client app for Homey Which Homey is right for you (compare page) |
| Apps, integrations and developer access | |||
| Homey app (iOS, iPadOS, Apple Watch, Vision) | Official | Published by Athom B.V. Free, with in-app purchases including Homey Premium at $2.99 (US listing). Requires iOS or iPadOS 16.4, watchOS 9.0, visionOS 1.0; a Mac with Apple silicon on macOS 13.3, which the listing says is not verified for macOS. The listing says Matter, Thread, Zigbee, Z-Wave, Bluetooth, 433 MHz and infrared devices connect through a Homey Pro or Homey Bridge hub. Homey Premium cannot be bought in the Homey web app. A web app is also available (Athom's support pages refer to it). | Homey on the App Store (US) Upgrading to Homey Premium |
| Homey app (Android) | Unconfirmed | The Homey home page links to a Google Play listing with the id app.homey. We could not verify it: when the page was fetched it returned content about a different app, so no Google Play facts are stated here. | Homey home page (US) |
| App Store size (apps, devices, brands) | Unconfirmed | Athom's pages state different figures: the Apps page says more than 1,200 apps, the home page body says 750+ apps, and Athom's page overview (llms.txt) says thousands. Devices: 70,000+ (home page, Devices page, Apps page) against 50,000+ (Self-Hosted Server launch post). Brands: 2,000+ (Devices and Apps pages) against over 1,000 (Pro mini and Self-Hosted Server launch posts). None of the pages gives an absolute date, so no single figure is stated here. | Homey Apps feature page Homey home page (US) Homey Devices feature page Introducing Homey Self-Hosted Server Introducing Homey Pro mini Homey page overview (llms.txt) |
| Homey Cloud vs Pro: app availability | Official | Homey Cloud runs official apps from the App Store, reviewed by Athom. Homey Pro, Pro mini and Self-Hosted Server also run community apps. Apps on Homey Cloud have restrictions: no app-to-app communication, no app Web APIs, no custom app settings views, and the SDK says Matter is not available on Homey Cloud. Only SDK v3 apps run on Cloud. | Homey Apps feature page Which Homey is right for you (compare page) Apps SDK: Homey Cloud Apps SDK: Matter |
| Homey Bridge requirement for apps | Official | Athom's pages explain the requirement by hardware. Homey Cloud has no radios, so apps for Zigbee, Z-Wave, Bluetooth, 433 MHz or infrared devices need a Homey Bridge. Athom's 2021 announcement says cloud-connected devices such as Philips Hue and Sonos need no hardware, while devices using local wireless protocols need the Bridge. Homey Pro has the main radios built in; Pro mini lacks Z-Wave, Bluetooth, 433 MHz and infrared. We found no Athom page stating that a Homey Bridge is required for every app. | Which Homey is right for you (compare page) Athom reinvents Homey as a free service Homey Cloud page Apps SDK: Homey Cloud |
| Per-app Homey Bridge required labels | Unconfirmed | Homey App Store pages for the Hue and KNX apps show Homey Bridge required on their device entries, and the pages do not say what it applies to. The Hue page also lists Homey Pro as compatible, which has its own radios. We could not determine from the pages what the label means. | Philips Hue app for Homey KNX app for Homey |
| Flow and Advanced Flow | Official | Flow is Homey's basic rule builder using Flow cards. Advanced Flow is a canvas with more control. The Advanced Flow page lists Homey Pro, Pro mini and Homey Cloud with Premium; the Self-Hosted Server page lists Advanced Flow among its included features. | Advanced Flow feature page Homey Self-Hosted Server page Homey Cloud page |
| HomeyScript | Unconfirmed | An official Athom app for JavaScript scripts that use the Homey Web API, runnable from Flows. Its App Store page lists Homey Cloud among supported platforms, while the Homey Cloud page marks HomeyScript as not included. The pages disagree, so Cloud support is unclear. | HomeyScript app Homey Cloud page |
| Homey Energy | Official | Tracks energy use and production, with smart meter, solar, EV and battery support, costs and Flow cards. The Energy page does not state which hubs support it or which regions and meters are covered. | Homey Energy feature page |
| Homey Premium | Official | The Homey Cloud page lists Homey Premium at $2.99 a month with the first month free (requires subscribing on iOS or Android). The support article gives it as 2.99 euro a month. It covers more than five devices, Advanced Flow, Insights and Logic. A Homey Bridge purchase is said to include three months of Premium. Athom lists Advanced Flow as included on Homey Pro at no extra cost. | Homey Cloud page Upgrading to Homey Premium Homey Bridge page Athom reinvents Homey as a free service |
| Homey Apps SDK | Official | Apps run locally on Homey and can add devices and Flow cards over Wi-Fi, Zigbee, Z-Wave, 433 MHz, Bluetooth LE and infrared. An app is a Node.js or Python bundle, distributed through the Homey App Store or installed with the Homey CLI. Publishing to the App Store requires certification by Athom. Publishing for Homey Cloud requires a Homey Verified Developer subscription; we could not find its price on a page we could open. | Homey Apps SDK Apps SDK: Publishing Apps SDK: Homey Cloud |
| Homey Web API | Official | An HTTP and Socket.IO API to control devices, start Flows and view Insights. It targets Homey Pro and Homey Cloud, uses OAuth2, and runs on your own server or front-end. New API clients are limited to 100 Homey Pro users until a limit increase is requested, which can also enable Homey Cloud. | Homey Web API |
| Company and other Athom programs | Not mentioned | Athom B.V. is listed at Oude Markt 9b, Enschede, the Netherlands. Athom's history page mentions a Homey MCP Server and HomeyLink launched in 2025, and a macOS app for Self-Hosted Server in 2026; we did not open pages for these. | Contact (Athom B.V.)
