Public Cloud is beyond home user’s control. I think many users prefer to use offline version, or private cloud at home. ---

Eh? Public cloud? Private cloud at home? Not sure what you mean, but how does any of that relate to your statement that "most of Homey Pro functions can be replaced by Homey Cloud.? ---

Rephrase my previous question 🙂 Using HA today but find it too advanced and with many updates. Want a simpler to use solution. Do you think I will be happy with Cloud/Bridge with about 15 zwave, 10 Zigbee, 10 Shelly, 8 Sonos devices, 4 iPhones for presence? My internet is good and always running. ---

Funny that you don’t understand this! Who wouldnt free a lot of money by replacing the pro and go for a bridge. is not like your missing out on a lot of features… ---

I got the ideas from here [Homey Keynote — Easy. Fun. Everyone. - YouTube](https://youtu.be/AD5-3stXteY?t=612) that most of Homey Pro software can be run on Homey Cloud servers. ---

He Guys, Drawing a line here, this is not a complaint topic for what goes wrong in communication about that you can order but not get an Invite with the order. All that kind of replies go here: > [@Topic Waiting for an Invite but ordered the Homey Bridge](https://community.homey.app/t/topic-waiting-for-an-invite-but-ordered-the-homey-bridge/51402): > > Topic to collect Posts about that Athom accepts orders for Homey Bridge and delivers it but doesn’t send an Invite for the beta with it. Posts complaining in other topics will be moved here to keep the topics readable. [[Homey Keynote — Easy. Fun. Everyone.] ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AD5-3stXteY) Please Contact Athom, this is a community forum. The topic is the review of Homey Cloud and Homey Bridge and the differences with the Homey Pro. ---

Do you guys think there is a new pro on the way? Or will this be the last one. I have a original and my memory is always pretty full. But don’t want to buy a pro when next years or so a homey pro 2 will come… I really hope there will be a homey pro 2. With Ethernet, usb c, new zigbee chip etc ---

> [@Wesley\_Witjes](#): > > really hope there will be a homey pro 2. With Ethernet, usb c, new zigbee chip etc I guess you are not the only one hoping The only statement I got is that they (Athom) don’t do statements on their development until it is released. For what it’s worth… I think they still see market for Pro and maybe for upgrades for current customers. They are still producing afaik and maybe this is not their last Pro version. ---

I think this can really be a big leap for Athom. Getting more (steadily) revenue from their customers (and professional (business) developers. Myself, I wouldn’t want to rely on a cloud service this way, and am very happy with my Pro here. But what worries me is that Homey is now for “everyone”. The worry lies in the fact that I am very sceptical that Athom has the ability to give “everyone” the support the (cloud) customers will demand (rightfully or not). And that can have their effect on the support for the Normal and Pro Homey users as well. If there is a growth spurth, I sincerely hope Athom is ready for it. A lot of companies have gone totally wrong there. Growing can be a pain in the ass too… 😕 Think it’s gonna be crowded here in the Community… 😉 ---

> [@Henk\_Renting](#): > > Think it’s gonna be crowded here in the Community… I see your worries, I think at this moment only ~10 % of the Homey users is here. curious / interested and some more than others technically skilled. I expect the % of new users that find the community will be lower. Other go to Facebook or other platforms or get helped by family. ---

I had a look at my system. Granted, it’s by no means an extensive one, I’m building it slowly and have mostly stuck to popular brands. Looking at individual devices, the majority are already supported or have as far as I can understand a decent chance of getting support in cloud. Breaking it down in device brands instead the figures are less uplifting, a few are unlikely to get support, others just never will. Looking at apps it’s even worse, about 2/3 of the apps I use have a near zero chance of making it onto cloud. For some there will possibly be decent alternatives but a lot of them operate in ways that is only supported on Pro. Just a single data point, but i believe going from Pro to Cloud could prove a disappointment. ---

Yes. I currently own and use 2 x Homey’s. The new Bridge will allow Z wave access where currently there is none [Previous page](https://community.homey.app/t/athom-announced-homey-cloud-and-homey-bridge/51242.md?page=6) [Next page](https://community.homey.app/t/athom-announced-homey-cloud-and-homey-bridge/51242.md?page=8)
