Homey Pro 2023 and Homey Bridge Satelite mode

Questions & Help

Bridge was to far away from Homey Pro. PTP and place it closer to Homey Pro did the trick.

Question on updating the satelite.
When I update the Pro2023 and I have a bridge added as satelite, how does the bridge get updated firmware.

At the moment it shows: Firmware 81 and I have no idea how to update.

81 version is the latest one, I believe you can’t force update

hi @robertklep what do you mean PtP ? I actually decided to go and shop online for some Zigbee power plugs to extend my zigbee signal around the house but do you have a recommended or tested plug ? does it also have to be Aqara or any other zigbee based brand will still extend the signal to aqara devices ?

First hint: Search results for 'PtP' - Homey Community Forum

i got a Xiaomi power plug but it still does not show as a router or a booster, it shows as end device :frowning: 
 any explanation ?

Create ticket for Homey support including system diag, remove the device and add again - I bet it will be added 2nd time correct. Maintenance for some reason didn’t work for me in the past.

I want my campervan as smart as possible. I already have decide to use site magic with unifi to access my home network on the road so wifi devices shouldn’t be an issue.

I thought homey bridge as a satellite for zigbee would be ideal.
As I read this topic, for now it’s just a repeater. What bummer


Fiddling with home assistant or the 2019 version with homesh i guess
.

Satellite mode could be such a great tool for second homes.
Implementation is far from great as i see it.

I bought a bridge for my dad to do some basic stuff and its not great at that either.

3 extra euro’s a month for a bridge to use as satellite ?

Where did you read that? It’s not what user Vnet wrote.

  • Homey = cloud based, free for max. 5 devices, €3/month unlimited use
  • Homey bridge = a ‘dumb’ piece of hardware, one time purchase (€70 or so), adds local radio protocols to Homey, and can be used as satellite for Pro 2023 as zigbee/zwave router and secondary antennas.

No read, installed bridge as satellite and it quit working after 3 months. For further use I had to subscribe for 3.99/m.

Tsjoep, bye
