I d offer €25, but… Only if I know it ll get the update (doesn’t have to be ready) as soon as they ship the homey 2023s. If it’s not clear, I ll just have to migrate them directly to homey 2023 and I won’t be migrating all my devices back and forth.
Should we start something similar, or would the Homey Pro 2023 with it’s satellites make the Mi Home App redundant?
I’d be happy to contribute to such a fund raise, @Jan_Peeters! 
When you’re speaking of satellites; you are referring to using an “old” Homey Pro for this purpose? By using @Arie_J_Godschalk’s Homesh controller and satellite apps? Somewhere in the future on older Homey Pro’s SDK2 might be deprecated too, so that would mean updating the white ball would come to an end, if you want to keep using Mi Home…
(Not sure if you can install devices with it’s apps on a Homesh Satellite and use them as regular devices on the Homesh Controller)
Using a Homey Bridge as satellite would mean you still have to install the Mi Homey app on Homey Pro 2023, which would still require an SDK3 update.
The Mi Home app isn’t suitable for Homey Bridge unfortunately, so you can’t use a Bridge as a separate Homey environment.

I myself, am specifically interested in the Mi Home app because of the possibility to integrate Aqara gateways with their own child devices. The gateways are connected to the internet.
Thus alowing for a greater distance, avoiding the limitations of Zigbee/Zwave/others.
To my understanding, the Home Pro2023 can make use of the Homey Bridge and use them as bridge or repeater. Thus much in the same manner as my current use of the Aqara gateway.
What is your specific application of the Mi Homey app?

I pledge €25 as well for including my Xiaomi gateway. 
@Jan_Peeters:
The new Homey Pro 2023 can indeed act as a repeater for Zigbee. But in this case it acts like any other 230V powered Zigbee device like a wallplug or lightbulb and integrates in the Zigbee network of Homey Pro 2023.
The way you use your Aqara gateway (same as I do with my Xiaomi gateway), the gateway connects to your current Homey by local (TCP/IP) network instead.
As far as I know that is not supported by the new satellite mode of Homey Pro 2023.

Maxmudjon reacted and informed that his Homey is dead and therefor the app cannot be maintained / transferred.

Do you mean this is a message by @Maxmudjon?
Athom has contacted him too. If he is willing to transfer the app to another developer, aren’t there other ways to do this when his Homey is broken?

Satellite Mode
Extend Homey Pro with Homey Bridge to extends wireless coverage throughout your entire home. Zigbee & Z-Wave extend your mesh network, 433 MHz & Infrared control the nearest devices.
The function is not yet available, so this is guessing,… The Homey Bridge should connect with Homey Pro via local WAN. Anything else seems unlikely .
@Jan_Peeters:
Can you ask @Maxmudjon to respond to Athom that the app is eligible for transferring to another developer?
They contacted him they told me.
Hopefully there is another way of transferring the app to another developer then.
Unless his mail is also broken Just kidding, I don’t believe there would be no solution if he was doing great job with his apps
Well, to be honest: i still have support tickets open for my other apps, and many idea’s which will probably never see daylight because time is limited.
So i indeed try to pick apps that are easy for me to maintain, which are mostly non-device apps, or perhaps apps for devices i have.
I don’t have any xiaome devices, so taking this app on, would cost me more time (and money) then i would like, compared to other apps with which i can help out.
So, no, i prefer not to take on this app for migration or support, sorry

@Arie_J_Godschalk , I kind of knew it but fully understand that. Till you are here , can you share with us what is required for the app to be transferred, eg. is there some other way when your Homey would be broken, eg. just by responding to Athom with GitHUB ID and UserID of new developer ?
Or if anyone else would know, just don’t want to loose momentum that @Jan_Peeters got…

Well, too transfer an app, all one has to do is goto the developer app page and click on trasfer, enter the user-id of the recieving app-developer, and press send.
After that, i guess you could ask Athom for the actual source code, right?
I don’t really understand why you would need an Homey at all to transfer the App or sourcecode, since neither is on the Homey.

It’s only based on the statement that original’s Homey got broken and he can’t transfer the app…as we are not developers, we can’t judge that. But based on what you are saying, it’s simply enough to visit Homey Developer Tools and perform the steps there without actually having Homey working ? Thank you.
I read somewhere that the agreement of previous developer is required but again, have no experience with it. ;-(

Indeed, al that is needed to transfer the app is goong into the developer page.
And after the app developer has freely transfered the app, i am sure Athom can provide the sourcecode, if the argument is that he cannot access it because he needs a homey somehow?!

Perhaps someone can share that url (if generic at all) here so @Jan_Peeters can share it with the correct UserID with @Maxmudjon?
Let’s facilitate it as much as we can. Would be a pity to loose momentum, as @Sharkys already mentioned…

I already asked @Maxmudjon to transfer the app to me including my developer ID and the instructions on how to make the transfer. No response and from the posts above it’s even unclear to me he actually wants to stop maintaining the app. But if he does transfer it it does not necessarily mean I would migrate the entire app but it would be a first step to get this in the hands of a person who can pick this up.
I did already fork his repo on Github of version 3.0.5 of the app and made some first steps in migrating the WiFi devices (the drivers I coded myself back in the days). Just to get a feeling of the amount of work involved.
I’ll start digging in the gateway part when the bounty is encourging enough.
