Hello everyone, I am currently considering migrating my smart home setup from a deCONZ/ConBee/ioBroker stack to the new Homey Pro 2026. My current environment consists of over 100 Zigbee devices. The primary driver for this change is stability. My current mesh requires frequent device resets, whic…

Just consider that Homey uses a Multi-PAN firmware to run both Zigbee and Thread on the same chip, which is something that other manufacturers have stopped using due to stability issues. 100 devices may work, but I wouldn’t bet on it. Also, you should probably try to find out where the instability …

I’m planning to buy the Homey Pro 2026 (including the additional bridge and ethernet adapter) to act as my main controller. My primary goal is to reduce maintenance overhead by removing my current Conbee stick and other external gateways. However, I keep reading mixed reviews. Is the native Zigbee …

Has anyone tried it yet and can tell us how it works? I’d also like to switch from Deconz + iobroker to Homey. But I’m now thinking about getting a Hue bridge after all. I actually stopped using the bridge back then because there was no backup option, and there still isn’t.

[image] bjoernson: But I’m now thinking about getting a Hue bridge after all. The Hue bridge supports Hue devices (obviously) and generic ZigBee smart plugs/lights. If that’s all you use, then the Hue Bridge alone would be fine I guess. But I would recommend to use both Homey and the Hue Bri…

I transitioned from deCONZ and ioBroker as well. Overall, I’m really happy with the move to Homey Pro. While it might not be quite as flexible as ioBroker, pairing Homey with HomeyScript makes it extremely capable. I also love being able to strategically mix in other technologies, like Z-Wave for lo…

[image] Arcondor: As for the Hue Bridge, it doesn’t even compare—it’s just too limited in every aspect It depends on what you use. If you only use ZigBee lights and smart plugs, and only use it for lighting (because that’s what Hue is miles ahead of compared to every other system IMO), it’s a…

Thank you very much for your replies. I’ve now got myself a Hue Pro Bridge to test things out and have Homey running as a self-hosted server on a laptop. I have to say that Deconz + iobroker (both running on a nuc via proxmox) worked quite well. With Hue + Homey, I do find it a shame that Homey doe…

[image] bjoernson: recognise the scenes from the Hue. You can use it in Flows , here is an example: You can then mark the Flow as favorite so that you can start it from the Homey mobile app. [image] bjoernson: So does that mean you control most scenes and switch events directly on Hue? …

@Arcondor @bjoernson [image] Arcondor: Is the native Zigbee mesh really that unreliable compared to a Conbee setup? The problem is, you can’t just say “is Homey zigbee really this and that”, in general. It’s based on user experience, and the willingness to Reading (and understanding) The ‘Fi…
