I have like a lot of smart home systems, and I wanted to have all of the devices and apps in homey! But there is a lot of apps that is not available, like Ecoflow and Google home plus a lot more apps. So I’m wondering if there is any app that can act like homey(not necessarily an app in homey) and maybe bring all of the devices plus apps and platforms all together! Maybe someone can create a new app? But this would be a very good thing! I hope someone can code or find an app! ---

You can run it on a Raspberry Pi, in Docker, in a virtual machine, on an old PC. But if you want to go down that route, [this is a better place to ask](https://community.home-assistant.io/). ---

You can make it work! (At least I hope so grin ) When I forgot something, or something is wrong: feel free to point it out. By default, all Homey devices are available @ HA after a successful connection using MQTT; BUT you ne… \_ > [@Challe\_w](#): > > there is a lot of apps that is not available, like … Google home Not sure what you mean, but 1. this publishes all supported devices to Ghome ![1000034444](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/athom/original/3X/1/4/14708a952744233abd6caffab37737299603dd90.jpeg) Now you can voice command Homey devices and flows when you add a Google Assistant enabled recording device (nest mini, G.hub and such) 2. You can also control non-Homey Ghome devices with Homey 3. You can use Chromecast enabled devices for Homey controlled speech/sound
