Hi Forum, hoping someone can help with these two questions. I tried Homey Pro device about 2 years ago and promptly returned it when I found the Hue App could only see all the individual bulbs on integration it didn’t see rooms or zones, and I would have had to start over.
Now that it’s 2026 and Homey seems to be progressing, could someone tell me:
- when I use Homey Hue App, and connect to my bridge, is Homey going to see all of the rooms and Zones I’ve created and be able to control things natively at the existing room and Zone level without being recreated?
- does Homey Pro work with the Hue Bridge Pro?
Thank you.
You can get zones, rooms and scenes via the app-level Flowcards. They won’t show up as individual devices, but you can use virtual devices connected to Flows for those.
The Hue Bridge Pro should also be supported
Hi there, thank you for the quick response. I’m still just a bit confused. So the rooms and scenes will NOT appear as devices to be controlled as groups, but I will see the rooms and zones as cards in the flows so I can still control an entire room or zone that way? (sorry for basic question, I’ve forgotten how it looked in there and don’t want to order it again if it’s difficult to control my rooms and zones).,
Yes, correct. You can create virtual devices and connect them to the Flow cards, this way you can still use them as devices
Thank you, but now I’m more confused than before. I don’t want to go to the hassle of having to manually create all new rooms and zones. The rooms and zones are already created very nicely in my Hue Pro app, and some have tons of lights associated with them with code names I don’t easily remember. Are you saying I have to recreate all new rooms and zones in Homey and assign the individual bulbs back to them? The point of my main question is I want Homey Pro to RECOGNIZE my existing Rooms and Zones already built in Hue app and bridge and not re-create them. Does Homey Pro do this or not?
Thank you!
That’s not possible. Why do you want to use Homey in the first place? If you only use Hue devices, you should just stay with the Hue bridge/app. I also use Hue for all my lights and I think the Hue mobile app is way better for lighting than Homey. I primarily use Homey to integrate other non-lighting related devices.
Uhm, because I want a smart home controller to do things like what Homey does - control multiple devices, unlock doors, music, lights, etc. Hue is for controlling lights only. I want Homey to be able to turn on and off lights with automations. Not sure why that is hard to understand. Also insane that Hubitat can see Hue rooms and zones but you’re saying Homey cannot see Hue rooms or zones? Homey is that backwards?
You can’t add individual zones or groups from Hue to Homey, that’s not possible with the current Hue Homey app.
So the Homey app doesn’t even see the rooms you’ve created in Hue, it only sees the bulbs themselves?
Hey @smarthomesven I fear maybe I’m not explaining my question well enough as someone else on Reddit has said I can do what I’m looking for, FYI: Yes, both rooms and zones are exposed to Homey in automations. So in the “then” cards, you can control “groups” and in the group options are all of your rooms and zones or “all lights” and it designates which bridge those rooms are on, in case you have multiple bridges
Yes, you can have multiple bridges. The rooms are exposed in Flowcards, but not as “devices” which you can control. You can work around this with a virtual device, though you won’t receive status updates for it (e.g. when you use the Hue mobile app to control the rooms, their status won’t update on the virtual device)
