# UPDATE 12-12-2025 Here’s a summary of what we know so far: - There is a reference in the Web App code to subscription. There should also be a Lifetime subscription, if the code in the second post is true. - The internal model id is “shs”, which means “Self Hosted Server“ - There’s a domain name ([homeyshs.net](http://homeyshs.net)) that was created 1 month ago. It has 2 subdomains ([raspberrypi.homeyshs.net](http://raspberrypi.homeyshs.net) and [ota-api.homeyshs.net](http://ota-api.homeyshs.net)). Both currently point to a GitHub IP and only have a script to redirect to the homepage. The ota-api is also used by Homey Pro, but there it is [firmware.athom.com](http://firmware.athom.com) for older Homey Pro’s and [ota-api.homeypro.net](http://ota-api.homeypro.net) for the newer ones. - There’s a github commit in an official Homey repository which mentions the shs model number, created 1 week ago - There is a NAS icon hosted on the Homey Web App site, see below. This is the icon for the Self Hosted Server in the list of Homeys (the list that appears when you click your profile picture in the web app. ############################################ I found this while reverse engineering the Homey web app: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/e/1/e14b9aea5571ce247e441056f36022a46cfbd5fd.png) [https://my.homey.app/assets/homey-shs-6b43ecb8.svg](https://my.homey.app/assets/homey-shs-6b43ecb8.svg) ```javascript const g8e = “/assets/homey-cloud-52fc1fbf.svg” , v8e = “/assets/homey-bridge-home-f2512176.svg” , y8e = “/assets/homey-pro-3b052695.svg” , b8e = “/assets/homey-pro-2023-fill-0a5d73b0.svg” , w8e = “/assets/homey-pro-mini-ac108847.svg” , x8e = “/assets/homey-shs-6b43ecb8.svg” , Die = “/assets/log-out-a6217b29.svg” , e0 = “/assets/external-link-793363fd.svg”; ``` It appears like that should be shown in this list: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/9/5/95a2703e1cc8837cb093deb67f14f700b476121f.png) Homey SHS… Is that Self Hosted Solution or something like that? ---

I could try to send a request via Postman to create one in my account, but I don’t know what I would need to run on my server to connect it ---

I checked some domains and noticed that [homeypro.net](http://homeypro.net) is for the new Homey pro’s (I found references to it on this forum) and from my own 2019 I know that uses [connect.athom.com](http://connect.athom.com). I also know Homey Cloud uses [homeycloud.net](http://homeycloud.net). But now I found out that [homeyshs.net](http://homeyshs.net) also exists, and was created 1 month ago. They have the following subdomains, as far as I can find: - [ota-api.homeyshs.net](http://ota-api.homeyshs.net) - [raspberrypi.homeyshs.net](http://raspberrypi.homeyshs.net) Both lead to a GitHub IP. Upon opening it in the browser, it just redirects to homey.app ---

And I think I also guessed the repo name. Because [athombv.github.io/homey-shs-raspberrypi](http://athombv.github.io/homey-shs-raspberrypi) also redirects to the homey.app site. I couldn’t guess the one for the ota-api (already tried homey-shs-ota-api, homey-shs-ota, homey-shs-api, homey-shs-otaapi ,etc. none worked) The repo is private, since it gets to a 404 on github. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/9/1/91f3a514ea4b1865860c9d1d7979032ceb90bde9.jpeg) ---

The server behind homey.app seems to be shared across all domains. So I tried to send a request to [ota-api.homeyshs.net/api/v1/changelog](http://ota-api.homeyshs.net/api/v1/changelog) (since Homey Pro 2023 uses [ota-api.homeypro.net/api/v1/changelog](http://ota-api.homeypro.net/api/v1/changelog) when viewing the changelog at the [firmware.athom.com](http://firmware.athom.com) page.) but actually send it to the IP with the Host header set to [ota-api.homeyshs.net](http://ota-api.homeyshs.net), but that didn’t work either. When checking the source code for the [raspberrypi.homeyshs.net](http://raspberrypi.homeyshs.net) website, I just see a script that redirects to the home page. ```auto ``` ---

It isn’t released yet, this research is based on reverse engineering of the web app. ---

Imagine being able to run Homey software on any hardware just like HA… that would be a real added value.. ..But I think that will remain just a dream.. 😮‍💨 ---

It should be possible when it’s released, but it won’t be open source since it’s a subscription service (with lifetime subscription available) This is based on the code in the 2nd post ---

No problem paying for it… as long as I’m not dependent on their hardware anymore. … ---

Then the Homey SHS would be a great solution in this case. I couldn’t find any pricing info anywhere in the code, so I don’t know how much it would cost ---

I’ve discovered another domain: [shs.homeycdn.net](https://www.virustotal.com/gui/domain/shs.homeycdn.net) The [homeycdn.net](http://homeycdn.net) site is used for the app and Homey Pro OTA downloads as well. This must be the actual download site, but I don’t know the exact URL to the download. ---

There is also an homeyshs.dev site, which seems to be meant for internal testing. For me the site didn’t load, maybe they have IP locks. I also tried my.homey.dev, which is the internal testing version of the web app, but that didn’t return anything. Probably also an IP lock, since the main homey.dev site returns a 403 ---

There’s also a homeyshs.dev, this domain is also registered about a month ago. It shows this: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/c/3/c3b7614b5d7ee14657c03b7696f13bb6808253cc.png) I don’t know if it’s related though.
