I’m confused. What is this on Amazon? Is it a mistake?

The Homey Pro is powered by by USB-C, so technically you could hook it up to an external battery or USP. The Homey Pro consumes about 5 to 7 watts, so if you hook it up to a 45.000mah powerbank, it will give you about 22hrs of runtime. I’m not sure how useful that would be though as a smart home hub is supposed to manage your entire home continuously. Hooking it up to a USP however might be useful if you use Homey to manage some processes that need to keep running in case of a power outage. These cases are of course also extremely rare as most Smart Home features will fail anyway when there is no power. Neither a powebank nor a USP are included of course.
