Hi everyone,

Brief intro - brand new house in UK, built assuming a reliable zigbee network (no physical light switches). Decided on Home Assistant (honestly, hadn’t heard of Homey). Used an smlight coordinator (now on second one). **Constant** issues with the Home Assistant Zigbee integration failing. Waking up every other day to no lights. Been through all troubleshooting and completely at a loss.

It is not a big house. Circa 70 devices. Is Homey and a couple of bridges the way forward??

I have wall panels - can you fully customise dashboards?

Look forward to hearing.

If your Zigbee issues are caused by interference, Homey will probably suffer the same issues (especially if you have a Silicon Labs-based SMLight coordinator, as Homey uses the same chip).

Homey doesn’t have the same dashboard flexibility as HA has. You will also need a wall panel that’s capable of running the Homey app (so iOS or Android-based) because the dashboards aren’t accessible through a web interface.

I’m in the process of moving the other way. Been using Homey for very long, both the 2019 Pro and now the 2023. I recently got Danfoss Zigbee TRVs since there is an official Homey app that is supposed to support them. This doesn’t work, I woke up to random temperatures… No help from support, and reading the forums others have the same problems and have given up. So now I at least partially moved to HA and there they work perfectly. Regarding other Zigbee stuff like IKEA, I ended up using their gateway and Matter since Homey can’t support OTA updates.
