Hi,
thinking of buying a Homey Bridge for use at my summer house. Basically want to replace a Telldus z. I have a Homey Pro at home, but think it might be overkill with another one.
I only have two devices that are trigged by temp. One water heating cable and during summertime a heater of a bathtub that keep the temp. On top of these two I also have a number of weather sensors, temp inside outside, rain, wind…
Todays question is how they count “units” for Homey Bridge? Is every sensor counted as one or is it just switches that counts in the limitation of five?
Can I, in some way, have a Homey Bridge in another place than where I have my Homey Pro without buying a subscription?
Thanks Robert,
I guessed that would be the answer. Today I only have 433 sensors/switches. I also have a working internet connection out in the green.
I don’t really look at expanding installations there but It’s nice to be able to see what’s going on. I have a couple of cameras as well that captures the moose and badger population.
Currently I have a Telldus subscription @ 25€ a year that I optimally would like to terminate but I guess that it is superior to have my old 433 stuff left there instead of buying another Homey.
And… yes the water switch is to keep the incoming water above freezing. So far it have worked for many years, but if it fails, the worst that could happen is that the PEM would freeze. Tedious but no catastrophe.
Yes, to the letter what @Mats1 asks. without a subscription, so running a Cloud Homey it is limited to 5 devices. But I understood the questions as running the bridge as satellite from the Pro on the other location.
Hm… let’s see if I understand you correctly here… Overall question was how “5 units” were counted. You have answered that…
Secondary question would be if one can have a Bridge at another location than the Pro using the same account… or if another location = another account?
But the briges connected to Homey cloud creates your second Homey with a limitation of 5 devices in Homey cloud without subscription. Paying the monthly subscription maks the cloud Homey unlimited in number of devices but no community apps …
