Homey Pro + Homey Mini: RAM and FLOW management

I have a Homey Pro, is it possible to add a Homey Mini (in the same house) to increase the total RAM of the system (maybe switching some apps and devices from the Homey pro to the Mini) and to use the same webapp with e.g. a flow with devices from both homey pro and mini? I found different (negative) answers about Homey Pro + Homey Pro, and Homey Bridge seems not to have any RAM, but what about Pro + Mini?

I don’t know if that’s possible with the Homey Mini.
I have a Homey early 23 and a Homey early 19. Early 19 has several apps installed to relieve early 23 and sends these devices to early 23 using the HomeyLink app.

The Mini has only 1GB of RAM. So its half of the Pro.
Keep in mind it lacks most technologies so maybe move your zigbee aps and matter apps to the mini?

Or do that, it works perfectly and you’ll immediately have enough RAM, forever. :wink:

Yes, maybe I can do that, or move things like “plex media server”, “weather forecast”, “cast text to google” and other apps that aren’t really linked to zigbee or matter or whatever device… I have about 35 apps, 50 flows, about 200 “devices” (and some scripts) and 200 Mb Ram free on my homey pro, but I had to uninstall some apps I wanted to use. I don’t have issues in reaching devices at the moment so my problem is really only the RAM and I have mainly zigbee (or matter) devices and I think they are doing a good mesh so I don’t feel like they are “limited”. But I would like that if I move something to the Mini the “interface” stay the same and that I can use devices from both the homey pro and mini.

thank you, this also seems interesting, using HomeyLink… they don’t talk about homey mini though… somebody tried?

The Homey Mini is also a Homey Pro, so it should work

Have you tried this? I am too thinking the same thing. Shift over apps that dont use Zigbee/Zwave and dont really affect the whole of my home
Automation.
Id love the 2026 home pro. Ive had mine exactly 12 months and its full already so need the extra space. Shame they dont offer an upgrade program for discount

I agree with you, I don’t want to pay other 399€ for another Homey Pro… maybe 150€ and I give back mine in excange. Otherwise for more than 150€ I may try to do the raspberry upgrade as indicated above. And, by the way… 4 gb of RAM? what an upgrade is this? maybe with 8 GB would be reasonable…

Id love to do the upgrade of the cm4 but knowing my luck it would fry after a month.
Just wish it was easier to move the partitions and not have to jailbreak it.

I guess the jailbreak is final or if needs can the old cm4 be put back in and restored.

Tempted to try the pro mini and homey link to see if that can lighten the load a little.

They really should offer an upgrade option for those of us still in warranty- send in for more memory but keep the hardware.

The Homey Self Hosted Server might also work, hopefully it will soon be released
