I am new to Homey and looking to purchase my first Homey Hub. I noticed that there is the Homey Pro and the Homey Pro Mini. I have recently upgraded my home. I did have just smart Bulbs (still got them) but now added Smart Wall switches. In the future thinking of other devices to be added. So, the …

For me, the power and ease of use of the Homey Pro lies in its ability to seamlessly connect to all smart devices including Matter, Thread, Zigbee, Z-wave, BLE, 433mhz and Wifi. With Homey Pro, I hardly need to think about whether a device will work or not. I have several Zigbee, z-wave and even som…

Weeeeell…… It’s certainly true that you need the Full Fat Homey if you want to add devices other than zigbee/matter/thread. For me though, I really didn’t need to do that and have just moved over onto a Homey Mini. I use Hue lights etc, Tapo plugs, Tado X for heating, Aqara (all sorts), Switchbot,…

That is indeed another thing to consider. Many devices communicate via matter only through their own hubs. So if you have those hubs already, and you are fine with them, you will be able to integrate those devices into Homey Pro Mini. However, if you don’t want all of those hubs, and you want Homey…

[image] Russell_Mulcahy: If not, go Mini. You can add a Homey Bridge later if you ever do need the extra radios. One big downside: the bridge is wifi only; Now the latest Homey finally has an onboard ethernet connector, the extra radios will have communicate over wifi FFS! Could work fine, …

Hi On the Wifi: I think the Fat Pro is also Wifi, unless you buy a dongle? Which you can, of course. My Mini is via Ethernet to the router, but many of the devices are Wifi. I’ve never run the Mini to the router over Wifi but I’m not sure how much of a problem that would be for the relatively low…

Thanks. To confirm, bulbs/globes all one type. Switches all one type. All currently connected to SmartLife. I live in Australia so the list of available smart brands is limited. But not looking at a lot of apps. So what is the primary function of the ram?

So if I buy a Pro Mini and Gateway the. I should be covered? Since my current setup is not hat complicated

It doesn’t sound to me like the RAM size will be an issue. However, I’m not familiar with Smart Life. You’ll need to know that it works well with Homey (Mini or not) and whether the radios in the Mini are appropriate. A quick google suggests that Smart Life is actually by Tuya, and there are some …

Tuya Cloud is the only working app for Homey Pro series, Russel The bridge as Pro Mini extension is something completely different from the bridge as Homey Cloud extension. Homey Cloud (often wrongly called Homey Bridge) can’t run Tuya apps (yet). The ‘official’ Tuya app runs, but it doesn’t allo…
