As a developer of several apps, I want to share my thoughts.
First of all, for now, I’m not removing my apps from the Store since Athom hasn’t done anything “harmful” to us besides selling a significant part of the company. However, if LG makes changes to Homey/Athom that negatively affect users or developers, I’ll reconsider and might remove my apps from the store. Nevertheless, I’ll keep them open source.
It’s also important to remember that the GDPR will protect EU users. Additionally, I’m excited for the future because this acquisition can bring positive changes to Homey, not just negative ones. I think it’s too early to judge.
Finally, we should remember that the Homey Pro 2023 is jailbreakable, and the entire HomeyOS code is accessible to those who understand it.
