I just Re-Created a Homey Cloud “Home” as my other post with testing and differences was setup some time ago before the beta release was finished.

Athom is using a waiting list to iron out the issues while scaling up before releasing to the market. Homey Cloud is a subscription based Homey that gives you the Homey experience from a cloud hosted environment. Homey bridge is the extender to make home automation usin…

I was surprised today by the NEW New Home Wizard for setting up your initial Home(y) in the cloud.

Before you got a default number of rooms if I remember correct.  
Now you can setup something that looks more your house:

Follow the Picture story 😉

As simple as 1 2 3 (4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 😉 )  
And also request your Location from the phone to know where your Homey lives…  
Max 3 floors, but endless variations to become a reflection of your house from the start.

Have Phun!

Nice!  
I hope all current users here will understand we are not the target audience of Homey Cloud and Homey Premium.  
I think it’s a great proposition for what it is! Hopefully it will catch on and generate revenue for Athom so they can keep developing and growing.

(Btw, didn’t know the gasstation at the afsluitdijk has 3 stories 😉 )

Can you create a Homey Cloud “Home” in an account that already has physical Homeys attached or do you need to create a separate account for that?

Yes that is What I did, Actually I have 4 Homeys in my account and Added the Cloud Homey.  
I heard that that is limited to one Cloud Homey per account at the moment. ( obvious with the invite now )

Not quite a good start for Homey Cloud.  
I have the Beta code, but can’t set it up in the app.  
An error occurred, please try again later. If i use it again it tells me I already have a home created.  
Some time later an unusable home with no options appears as offline.

Some things are to normal you forget if you play long with Homey!

As I see several questions how to start this wizard from users with already an Homey.

See screenshots above.
