Being super happy with my own Homey Pro, I gave a Homey Bridge to a family member as a gift. I am sadly quite disappointed. I thought it would be able to run the same apps as before, since I had not read anything else (bad research on my part, lack of info on Bridge sale page). The opposite is sadl…

[image] [Info] Homey - Homey Bridge - Homey Pro Maximums / Limitations Questions & Help The Cloud/Bridge is an entry-level home automation solution, it works with most popular brands (at least popular in NL/EU) and is cheap. It’s also limited: apps that provide…

Thanks for that clarification. I misunderstood how Bridge works. I thought it would be like a virtual instance of Homey running on Athom’s server, where it could run apps like timers, logging etc. Now I understand that it has no such abilities, and can do very little of what Homey Pro can. Sharing F…

I feel the same way Karl. I watched the keynote and was left under the impression the bridge was a cloud alternative to the pro. Designed specifically for people to pay monthly instead of a large amount up front. First day I opened the bridge and it’s useless for me, none of the apps I need are i…

Thank you guys for bringing up this topic. For users like me that are not very techy, would it be possible to elaborate a bit on " apps that provide support for local networked devices, or offer useful tools (timers, logging, database support, Homeyscript, Homekit, etc)". Are these apps that extent…

[image] Azzeddine: Are these apps that extent the feature set of homey (like time and date apps and other apps providing core features) or are these also apps that are to control devices? Yes to both questions. Homey Bridge cannot be used to control devices that require local network access …

This Homey bridge is a pièce of sh*t I have the same problems as you, nothing is compatible except hue and it makes none sens ! Each of my device aren’t working but hue, that represent 80% of my installation it’s 60 bucks in trash. And the homey pro still unavailable, it would be stupid to buy an…

[image] Macbenoit: it would be stupid to buy an older one 300 buck for second hand device Why would that be stupid, you can always sell it when you want the new model? I bought my first (used) 512MB Pro a few years ago for E180,- and am still happy user. I think they pretty much keep their …

For many reasons it is stupid, first second hands are sold the price they cost new, bo warranty, I guess they won’t be matter friendly, the new one comes in few weeks I suppose but no information about that and when it will come to market the older one will be certainly sold the half of the actual p…

Well well, I don’t know what state you are in, but you don’t have to insult me. I just understood by your remark, you were held back by the price difference between the bridge and a new Pro. But that does not seems to be the issue. That’s why I pointed out the middle option, buying a used model. I…

This solution is perfect for me. I am just new to homey, and was playing with cloud compatible apps, hue works like a charm, and i only need to add somfy control, some temp sensors and some door sensors. Plenty to choose from if i use the Bridge. It simply works, and i believe that the quality contr…

“Don’t assume, validate”, as the saying goes. Look here and here on how Homey Cloud is managed in case of scheduled maintenance.
