I wonder! is it possible to get homey setup on raspberry pi? it is not possible to find a homey in Europe it looks like … should something happen to my homey what do I do then? a raspberry pi 4 has better processor and ram etc … this would have been the best solution as homey uses outdated raspberry pi circuit board ---

Try and see if it works ---

I would see it as an [opportunity](https://workat.athom.com/) ---

Unfortunately have no knowledge of programming like this, but assume that homey software is not open source? I have had 3 homey where one of them was short-circuited, another was bricked and the third I had to change the power adapter on … is not the best quality! therefore I ask if there is anyone out there who knows if it is possible? ---

If Homey software runs on a Homey Pro on a [I.MX6 Som](https://www.solid-run.com/embedded-industrial-iot/nxp-i-mx6-family/imx6-som/#specifications) runs on the [Cloud from AWS](https://blog.athom.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Homey-Cloud-Regions-3.png) I think as Athom has the code and knows how much work it will be to run it from a Raspberry PI. Yes Homey self is not open source, so as long as you don’t have the code… Apply for a Job at Athom to get it done. regarding defects: Except for the ever failing Power Adapter that you can replace with many generic $15 USB adapters (or often much cheaper…) or get send an replacement from Athom on report to Athom support. I only had one (1) hardware failure on almost 6 years over 4 Homey’s I own and a couple at friends and family and that Homey is replaced by them. In general I do not see many Hardware defects reported. and to correct, > [@Tor\_Erling\_Julusmoen](#): > > as homey uses outdated raspberry pi circuit board Nope, Athom isn’t using a “raspberry pi circuit board”
