No there is no dedicated Homey Bridge community. I hope specific bridge questions will be tagged with the homey-bridge tag.
Edit the zone names fastest is from a computer with the https://my.homey.app
But in the app, devices on top select the zone selector and use the gear in the right top corner to edit zone names and move zones.
Hue hubâs are not supported on homey or homey bridge, just on homey pro. In homey (bridge) you see just the bulbs and you can use them. Maybe later the hubâs are also supported
There it stops for me but with an Hue bridge in your account and the Hue lights or plugs connected to that hue bridge these should be visible in the Homey add Devices wizard.
Thanks, these steps i know, but itâs not possible to import the bridge, just lights and plugs. I canât see the bridge. I still think you canât import the bridge, if you could, why are just 2 devices supported? If you could import the bridge, id should support the same deveices as in homey pro. Look at the ikea app, there are the same devices supportet in homey pro an homey bridge (beta).
The IKEA TrÄdfri app is the Athom app that uses the Zigbee directly from the Homey Bridge.
The IKEA TrĂ„dfri hub isnât supported.
You canât compare these two.
As said by @robertklep if you add the lights and plugs from the Hue bridge and power off the Hue bridge the Homey (cloud) canât switch the devices anymore.
I will try thatâŠ
Iâm very confused and donât understand why that some devices donât work if the hue bridge is in homey imported!?!? I might be to stupid
I have a switch (friends of hue) and would like to use it in homey, is that possible? With the hue bridge i can use it with no problems.
The way the Hue app is implemented by Athom means that it requires a lot of data to be transferred between Hue and Homey, especially for sensor devices. Athom decided that they donât want to pay for that data transfer (because Homey is basically running on âtheirâ network, as opposed to the situation with a Homey Pro where it runs on the userâs network) and therefore left out sensor support in the cloud part of the app.
Havenât heard that direct from Athom but am pretty sure that is the reason as we have seen multiple reports about huge data usage from Hue bridge users with a Homey Pro.
Athom has an advantage if the user buys a Homey Bridge and has the choice front different brands of sensors. Probably thatâs designed to communicate differently and is less data hungry.
Correct, it was also my assumption that this was the reason. Not sure why they havenât rewritten the app yet to support (local) push, as the Hue bridge seems to support that nowadays (at least Home Assistant has supported local push for Hue since June this year).
Local? Push, I guess that isnât going to work with the cloud Homey. Could be an improvement for the Homey Pro users but not sure it will fix the issue to get everything to the cloud Homeyâs.
I can work around it if the Pro can access the Hue Motion Sensors through the hue hubs, was using the Bridge as a Homey test before plunging into a Homey Pro.
I bought a Homey Pro a couple of years ago, ran into hard stop when the device drivers for my central heating boiler had a bug in it and the developer was unreachable.
So I had control of a dozen Thermostats, 15 thermostatic valves but could not turn on the boiler
So will be focused on the heating system first, the driver developer tells me it is now fixed, so will try again.
I can get my head back into Homey and if it works out get a Pro, then I can use full functionality.
