The email will not provide any specific information on this matter. Additionally, it’s important to note that you won’t suddenly see Homey appearing on every smart home hub available on the market. We are currently referring to, for example, the LG ThinQ ON hub and potentially more third-party hardware in the future.

I have already been in touch with several colleagues, including some at LG, and we are considering providing developer hardware to verified developers when the time comes. However, these arrangements are still in progress and I can’t promise anything specific. Rest assured, we are committed to supporting developers in every way we can. 🙌
