> As I see this as a question coming by many times.

For everyone with a: Homey (Early 2016), Homey (Early 2018) and Homey (Early 2019)  
Congratulations with your Free Upgrade:  
You have a Homey Pro now:

> **What about Homey (Early 2016), Homey (Early 2018) and Homey (Early 2019)?**  
> Those Homey models are now considered part of the ‘Homey Pro’ family. Free upgrade! 😉 They share the same operating system, receive the same updates, etc. The only difference is their hardware, of course.

If you see in the communication of Athom or on the community “Homey Pro” only, and you have a model that looks like:

Don’t worry, it is a [Pro](https://homey.app/nl-nl/store/product/homey-pro/) now!  
So switch to the **Homey Pro** in the App Store

If Athom now communicates about Homey they most of the time have it about the App / subscription model

That Homey you can use with the Homey Bridge (or even without!)

You have to look for Apps Available for **Homey** in the App Store
