Homey Self-Hosted licensing/subscription

I have a question regarding the license for Homey Self-Hosted.

Could you clarify if the license is tied to a specific hardware installation, or if it is transferable? Specifically, I am planning to start running it on a Raspberry Pi 4, but I might want to migrate the container to a Proxmox server later on.

Would I be able to move my license to the new hardware in that scenario?

Thanks in advance!

It’s linked to your account, not the hardware.

So like a instance license, happy to hear that

So for each license I can run one instance or multiple?

Hello I wanted to start the conversation on having the license for SHS cover two installs a production and a development instance. I wanted to have a test environment where I can test new updates new flows and devices without impacting my wife.

would it be possible to limit a single license to two instances

The license is tied to the HomeyID,
So every Homey Self-hosted Server needs a license to be online and accessible in the App.

In the case of the hardware Homey, you would also need to purchase two devices, so I don’t think it’s unreasonable that an SHS license is tied to a single instance.

Also, allowing multiple instances will open up the licensing system for abuse as it would be dead-easy to share a single license between you and your neighbour.

Yes, but tied to a Homey ID, but transferable:

  1. Go to My Self-Hosted Servers
    Go to My AccountMy Self-Hosted Servers.
  2. Transfer your license
    Click Transfer License and select another Homey Self-Hosted Server.

Yes I asking for a option to have a single license cover 2 home ids on the same account or allow a option for a cheaper second license for that purpose

I’m guessing that already owning a Homey Pro doesnt grant any discount for SHS?

correct
