Hello community and Athom / Homey. Homey is now my third smart home hub and I never had one without a backup function. @Athom / @homey Even if the subscription is just one euro is it a big step back on smart home marked. A backup function should follow for free on every smarthome hub. Why are you adding it as a subscription? At least there should be a local offline backup for every owner to store it on the computer. I like homey pretty much and the possibilities but if the subscription on backups are not going to be removed I will switchback to Fibaro again. It’s a lot of work to set up everything on the hub. Best regards. ---
