Hi guys, I try to install homey on 2 tablets I have at home, the idea is to display some dashboards there. I could see that on [apkmirror.com](http://apkmirror.com) only version 8.2.2 is available. (No dashboard yet) > **[Download Homey — A better smart home APKs for Android - APKMirror](https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/athom-b-v/homey-a-better-smart-home/)** > > Download Homey — A better smart home APKs for Android - APKMirror Free and safe Android APK downloads Could you please upload the last versions ? 🙂 Thanks a lot ---

Why not simply download the latest version from the Play Store? Or do your tablets not have the Play Store? And: you should ask Athom via their support page. They don’t actively read along here, or at least, they say so… 😉 This is a user forum. But I don’t think they see a real benefit in uploading their app there. APKMirror is mostly filled by others, not the manufacturers themselves. > **[Support | Homey](https://homey.app/en-gb/support/)** ---

If your tablet doesn’t have the Play Store, you can try the Aurora Store: > **[Aurora Store | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository](https://f-droid.org/packages/com.aurora.store/)** > > An unofficial FOSS client to Google Play with an elegant design and privacy ---

Not sure if it works from phone to tablet, but worth a shot: You can create an .apk file from an installed Homey app; On your phone (or tablet) with a functional Homey app: 1. Install [FileManager +](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alphainventor.filemanager) 2. Tap “Apps” 3. Scroll to “Homey” 4. Longpress the Homey icon 5. Tap “Backup” ---

Hi, good to know 🙂 it’s a last resort solution but would work for sure. I don’t know why Homey stopped the publishing to apkmirror however… it was officially them doing that not a random guy.. ---

Hi, I sent you a private feedback additionally. Will answer your questions: > Why not simply download the latest version from the Play Store? Or do your tablets not have the Play Store? TLDR; I try to degoogle as much as possible especially with my IoT stuff. Privacy reason essentially. No, my tablet do not have google play store nor a google account **intentionally**. Also I plan to install it on an nspanel and potentially a shelly xl board, it’s easier to upload an APK there too. > But I don’t think they see a real benefit in uploading their app there. APKMirror is mostly filled by others, not the manufacturers themselves. **Take a look at the link I posted you will see it was uploaded by Homey to APKMirror actually**. You have your vision, your needs and its perfectly fine. But others have other needs ideas and should also be considered eventually. With all my respect wish you a good day. ---

Thanks for that quite offensive private message. The one you first wrote here and deleted after, probably because you knew yourself that it was inappropriate. I flagged it for the moderators here to review, inclusing your private message to me. I do not see what is wrong with my message above. If you don’t like the answer you’ve been given, or even if it contains an error, there’s no need to react in such a way. This community is friendlier than that. ---

I think you could have send this as a personal message but well… I deleted the message because I realized I could send you a private message for that feedback and avoid polluting this thread with this. Like that I would not expose its content to everyone (it’s was more for you actually but well if you take it like that…). Let’s see what the moderation has to say. And whatever, sorry if my feedback did hurt your feelings, it’s was just a constatation of me. Cheers ---

No, your messages were offensive and inappropriate. It’s not just how I picked up on them. See [here](https://imgur.com/a/bqDMKj4)
