My €0,02: at some point, you pretty much have all automations set up like you want, and the sleek interface isn’t something you will need on a day-to-day basis.
On the other hand, reliability is key. You don’t want to wake up finding that half your sensors aren’t responding anymore, or that when you switch on your living room lights a random number of them doesn’t switch on, requiring you to go back to that sleek interface to implement workarounds.
I literally have hundreds of devices/integrations that are being managed by my home automation platform, and they just work. Days, even weeks go by without me having to pay attention to it, and when I do, it’s typically to add something new or to just improve something (if I feel like it).
The only issues I run in to have external causes, like a sensor running out of battery or some of my IKEA lights forgetting their settings after a power outage.
So yes: Homey looks incredible, but sometimes I feel that’s just veneer. It has many issues and quirks, often ones that Homey users have grown accustomed to (“I just reboot my Homey every night”). And even though it may support more European devices, my experience is that it still often lacks, especially when it comes to Zigbee devices.
