U ask if ALL apps from Pro will be available on the bridge aye? Not gonna happen. They are adding mostly cloud apps, local connecting they do not allow. And that will be a lot of apps not suiting that. ---

> [@Rocodamelshekima](#): > > local connecting they do not allow It is not simply a matter of allowing. Since the app code runs on their server, it cannot reach local network devices. If they wanted to support it they would have to tunnel local network trafic to their services, which would pose a security nightmare. ---

Athom positioned Homey and Homey bridge for many users with less complex situations or requirements. For more freedom in development and using manu Community Apps, for Local running without Cloud / Internet connectivity as requirement and situations where the bridge can not yet foresee (Like Local LAN) is Homey Pro the flaggship product. ---

Is it possible to use the Homey Bridge as a satellite for my HomeyPro2023? Right now, I use aqara gateways to reach some outhouse buildings. This means I am limited here to aqara devices. It would be nice if this function could be realised by means of a Homey bridge. ---

The Homey bridge can be linked to 1 of them. Presumably you still need to add the bridge as a device to the Pro23 first? Can’t tell from your text if that has already been done.

Hmmm, It doesn’t really. Still don’t know why. Has anyone here present ever tried it do this, for real? (Image was wrong indeed, right image without 2019Homey added below) Images from Homey bridge: only one user, no link to Google home, no apps, no nothing… 🤔 I’ll take some more time to figure this out over the weekend. Sure isn’t intuitive… Still wasn’t able tot configure the unit as a satellite. ![Screenshot_2024-05-07-22-20-06-44_4bbfc4a7dd885a2bb189f300112a7ed4](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/f/e/febf3cb890650343e401b2bdc3eab7f4d053fc8f.jpeg) ![Screenshot_2024-05-07-22-19-08-84_4bbfc4a7dd885a2bb189f300112a7ed4](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/e/4/e492930a295a80e366e3d450af43b610d70e71cb.jpeg) ![Screenshot_2024-05-07-22-18-57-43_4bbfc4a7dd885a2bb189f300112a7ed4](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/0/5/05b1458eadff077d66acbf000dcd58a1d6a1b2c7.jpeg) ![IMG_20240507_221819](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/8/4/840776813ee88ccd20ae4e6344ef2317102e4bbd.jpeg) ---

My bad!! Found it!!
