This in Abe’s description looks more like a Bridge 2.0 😉 (Maybe operates also standalone? ) but able to connect to Homey (Homey Pro) and provide Matter ++ AI ? ---

Not sure why it says “1,000+ Hub apps” when @Doekse [just said](https://community.homey.app/t/lg-acquires-athom/112310/292) that only verified apps will be made available on the Thinq ON. I can’t imagine that there are more than 1000 of those 🤔 ---

@robertklep I wonder what the specs are. I see they added Powerview to the apps on the wall. however Powerview is local LAN only. ---

It would be very similar to a Homey Pro in terms of hardware, I would imagine. FWIW, “Furon”: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/0/7/074bd349195963b8e1cc7282abd4b74c5e24e098.jpeg) ---

The app store has 935 apps in total 🤨 ---

It’s the number of apps that I can get to load on the app store, so I assume that list also contains SDK2 apps. But even if they weren’t counted, the LG Homey won’t support them so it would be a bit, um, dishonest to count them anyway. ---
