See below Youtube Keynote announcement for next week: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AD5-3stXteY I guess they will introduce the ‘Homey Lite’ or Homey bridge as in FCC reports mentioned earlier: https://fcc.report/FCC-ID/2AVQ6HY0016/

However, I like the idea to connect peripherals, either manufactured by Athom or by 3rd party. This will enable Homey to be used by light users and users that wishes a…
