I recently bought a Homey Pro to try to switch from Home Assistant. While Homey has some neat stuff it still feels like a work in process.
One of my biggest peeves is I have to use the app on my phone for some things and the web app for others. For example, configuring a zigbee device. I can do all kinds of stuff on my phone, but not the web app. I don’t want to be jumping between multiple devices to make things work.
The first Homey was introduced 2016, the WebApp about 3 years ago. Before that time, everything had to be done with a smartphone and there were also no Advanced Flows.
The WebApp is constantly being developed, just like the smartphone app. Nowadays, this is a completely normal process for almost all technical things.
I don’t know how often you have to configure a device, usually this is done during the initial setup, maybe some fine tuning every now and then. For this reason, it’s not a high priority, at least for me. And if you want to configure battery-operated devices, you have to do this at the place where the device is installed anyway. Personally, I prefer to do this with a smartphone or tablet, which is much more practical.
