Hi everyone, as per the subject: to develop an app for Homey Pro when connected to the same wifi network as Homey, must Docker be started or is Docker only needed when we develop apps for Homey Cloud?

You can run your app on Homey Pro directly using:

```auto
homey app run --remote

```

No Docker required (at some point Athom decided that everyone wants to develop for Homey Cloud so they made that the default).
