I want to have all the information about where are my data stored, and how Homey connects to my network and Homey server.  
I also ofcause want to connect/login via a computer in my network, not only via Android.  
Can I use web or Putty?  
Plaese make a complete guide to Home!

Did you buy one already? 🤔 Hope you can still return it… 😇  
Or, keep it and do a lot of reading a on this community. Worked for me 😛

Just a lot of How to. Not a technical guide.  
And why is it not posible to connect via a computer?

Because Homey isn’t an open platform.
