Maybe I’m just blind or something, or my account is somhow completely messed up, but I cannot add a 2nd home in the app. Always get the message “you already added a home”.

Correct:

> [@\[Info\] Homey - Homey Bridge - Homey Pro Maximums / Limitations](https://community.homey.app/t/info-homey-homey-bridge-homey-pro-maximums-limitations/51811/1):
>
> **Athom-account**  
> Every Athom-account can have multiple Homey Pro’s (“unlimited”\* as Owner or manager/user/guest)  
> Every Athom-account can create a maximum of ONE Homey (Cloud Service) with or without a Bridge as owner.

You need a second Athom Account for that.

Well that sucks, and makes no sense on top. Like … I’d literally pay two premium abos but hey if they dont want my cash …

It’s by design and I am pretty sure they had a reason for it.  
Just use a second email, create a second Athom Account and invite each other to the other Homey.  
There are only 2 things only the Owner can do.

Not that Complex I guess.

There are more services that do not allow to create a second (payed not free) instance of their service on one account, email address or telephone number. This is just also one them.
