This is a review on the prerelease info I got. Thanks Athom for providing the Homey Bridge as a preview.

Hi Henrik, I think your missing the point around cloud vs local here. Cloud is reliant on an internet connection with a single point of failure. I have experienced this personally and live in a first world country. It’s not nice, when your lights turn on in the middle of the night or your syste…

Personally I do not expect that Athom shall eliminate the Homey or Homey Pro on the long run because, as they claimed, they heavily rely on their developers community. Am I correct that a developer in general averse to limitations when supporting a device pro bono? I believe most developers use a Ho…

I am not sure about your statement. Cloud is added to the availability of PRO, since Homey Pro is too expensive for “lightweight” users, I can understand that there is a gap. This gap is now to be filled by “cloud”. There is no intention to abandon the pro users, as I can see right now, even the Ho…

I haven’t read or heard any negative news on the current Homey (Pro). The Homey (Pro) will be for most of the current users of Homey. To fill the gap for ‘simple’ users, the cloud could be an option. My Early 2016 Homey is still supported and running flawless! I hope there will be an non-pro in …

Hey all! I’ve created a post with a FAQ about our announcement. This should clear some things up. [image] The new Homey & Homey Bridge FAQ Announcements Hey everyone! Yesterday’s keynote has definitely created some questions we didn’t anticipate, especially for Homey (Cl…

LOVING the idea of the new Homey Bridge and just about to order. Is it possible to have more than one Homey Bridge in a property on the same account? And is it possible to have a Homey Pro and more than one Homey Bridge in one property on the same account??

Of course there’s Homey+ (which we’ll rebrand to Homey Pro Backups soon to make it simpler to understand) Sooo Homey+ will never get extra features as said in the beginning? :eyes:

Just keep in mind that they will not work together in harmony, they will act as seperated controllers for the connected devices.
