Hello dear community I am a very new user to Homey. What sold me the idea of this product, was the fact that it promises the all smart home devices will still work of my WiFi is off (has happened a few times, since the provider had tech issues). I have purchased a Homey Pro and connected all exis…

[image] Rasmus_Justesen: was the fact that it promises the all smart home devices will still work of my WiFi is off I don’t think it promises that. There is no such thing as a “local Homey wifi”. If your devices use WiFi (i.e. they don’t use a protocol like Zigbee or Z-Wave to communicate w…

As @robertklep said, not all devices can be directly connected to Homey. Tado, for example, only has an internet API. So, even though Homey and the tado hub might be connected to the same WIFI network, tado doesn’t allow direct connection, therefore Homey has to connect to the tado server on the int…

But, this is true: when Wifi is temporary unavailable, Homey keeps on running with the other wireless protocols: zigbee/zwave/433MHz/868MHz/Ble/IR So if you pair your Hue & https://homey.app/a/com.ikea.tradfri/ devices with Homey instead of their bridges, it keeps on working You can’t manage Home…

There is no such thing as a “local Homey wifi”. If your devices use WiFi (i.e. they don’t use a protocol like Zigbee or Z-Wave to communicate with Homey), and your WiFi fails, then your devices cannot be controlled by Homey. Ahh okay, I perhaps have misunderstood the “Local wifi” entirely. It is …

Okay, thank you for the explanation Peter! This is making sense for me now. So in reality I should switch tado out for a thermostat that can run zigbee/zwave/mm. instead of wifi through a bridge, if I wanted this to work as I intended from the beginning? It is nice to see that Hue has a way to co…

Hue device directly on Homey has 2 sides. I understand many hue owners prefer the hue bridge in between. Con -If you like the flash and color party scenes -When Homey is unavailable Pro -All mains powered devices extend Homey’s zigbee mesh -One device (and it’s power and data use) less I mig…

I use the hue bridge as I feel the dimmers work better. But I’m not even sure if the hue bridge connection is not local once a device is paired? As for tado, I would stick with it as it in my opinion it is far better than any other system and the scheduling etc still works without an internet conn…

[image] Rasmus_Justesen: will still work of my WiFi is off (has happened a few times, since the provider had tech issues) Hello Rasmus, your Wifi will not be down if your provider have a issue’s. Then you have a Internet acces problem. A lot off device or connected true some cloud solution’…

I would definitely stick with Tado, as tech goes it works extremely reliably. For Hue I would still connect via the Hue Bridge, reliable, faster connection and response especially if you need to control lots of Hue lamps. Much easier to create scenes in the Philips Hue app on your phone which Homey…

Once upon a time the Hue app downloaded almost a DVD every day. I can’t discover if they tried to run Homey + Hue bridge without an active internet connection
