Homey Pro (Early 2023) - Unboxing

@spkesDE Do you notice significant speed improvements for Zigbee compared with the older Homey when turning on lights using motion sensors?

In my case I am still using Deconz for Zigbee devices, and even with the additional hop (USB Zigbee stick + Deconz Docker → wifi → Homey), they responded quite a bit faster than with the devices connected directly to my Homey 2019. I hope to remove Deconz when the HP2023 arrives. :slight_smile:

Same question for the WebUI + Mobile App in general: I am hoping it’s much snappier than the old Homey?

I must admit, I never had an issue with the old 2019 pro. But I had a small ZigBee network with 20 devices.

In general the HP2023 is faster. Faster boot time, faster app installation. Just generally snappier, but I didn’t had a Homey for 2 1/2 months, I can’t compare it that well.

"Hi,

I am eagerly awaiting my first Homey and I was wondering what version of Nuki you have. I have heard that some individuals have had issues with the device and I just want to be informed. "

Nuke 2.0 with a Bridge :slight_smile:

Thanks

Thanks for sharing. I am honestly unsure if this made my wait for the new Homey Pro easier or harder.

One of my Homey’s recently died (that is OK, shit happens and it was and very very old one, the support was great and the backup feature is outstanding). I planned to wait for the new Pro to arrive. I messed around with Home Assistant for a few days, then bought another Homey for the gap until the new one comes in cause I can’t live without it :laughing:

Hallo spkesDE,

I’m curious about the available RAM for the user installable apps, while Homey Pro 2023 has an additional 1GB.

Pro 2019 model (rough averages):
-Homey: ~250MB
-Other: ~50MB
-Available for apps: ~700MB

Probably ‘Homey’ and ‘Other’ use more RAM on the 2023 model, I think there’s not 1.7GB for apps.

Hey Peter,

Homey is currently using ~300 MB.
Other is 0 as of right now, but that changes if you enable SSH.
So it’s approximately 1,6-1,7 GB for apps.

Disclaimer

In case you forgot, the pro software and the app are still under development. Please understand that all the information shared right now is preliminary.

Thanks for the quick reply. That number seems very reasonable, while it is currently still in a test phase.
I know numbers still can change before the ‘public’ firmware is released, but it is a good thing to put that disclaimer in every reply during the Pro 2023 test phase.

Are you running the new app on Android or ios? I am wondering if this app is running better and faster on android than before. A lot of users have reported slow response for the Android app in the past including myself.

iOS as you can see at the screenshots above :slight_smile:

@spkesDE Curious to know if there are other improvements in the WebUI or mobile App, or do they look identical? For example I am often missing mobile friendly access to Insights in the App (would be great to view Insights directly from the device, like in the WebUI)?

The webApp is not yet touched,
There is only one mobile app for ALL Homey’s but at this moment in beta. A coupl of things are moved in the UI. They are ironing out bugs :bug: we wait until the release to public beta as Athom sill can change on our feedback.
It probably wil not change drastically from current mobile App but have a new fresh look.

Are there also improvements noticeable when editing larger advanced flows? At the moment it is clearly noticeable that the performance deteriorates as the flows become larger. Is this better with the HP2023?

This is the web browser, not the Homey Pro.

@spkesDE : How did you get the 1st shipment/tracking information of your HP2023 ? Did you get also an e-mail from athom about the shipment ?

I’m asking because out of nowhere/a sudden today DHL has send me an e-mail that they will be delivering a package this evening(on Friday 10th of February) to me from “*”. I wouldn’t now what this could be besides the HP2023. :person_shrugging:t2:. My order number of the HP2023 begins with a five (5). I ordered when still watching live the announcement/keynote of it. :sunglasses:

So can you tell me/us about the preliminary info of you getting/receiving the HP2023 ??

Thank You.
