🏆 The Homey Community Awards

[Undertaker]

I am delighted

[Gruijter]

Migrating my HP2019 to the new HP2026 right now.

Still have to figure out what to do with the absence of a speaker and app controllable led ring.

Think I will use the HP2019 as satellite only for those purposes.

Welcome to the family Homey Pro 2026!

[RogerSt]

I couldn’t agree more with these winners. Well deserved!

[Undertaker]

Unfortunately, nothing has arrived in Germany yet.

What’s the black ball one?

[Undertaker]

Where did you get the tracking information?

[Peter_Kawa]

Didn’t Abe (@ doekse) send you tracking info?

[Doekse]

Whoops, forgot to share it with you! Check your Slack

That’s my first Homey, from Kickstarter.
Back then when a certain stretch goal would be reached multiple colours would be made, and I wanted black. The strech goal wasn’t met, so I decided to paint it myself. And since I opened it up to paint it I also soldered antenna mounts to the PCB for an external Zigbee and Z-wave antenna
(The zigbee antenna is barely visible, the z-wave is visible on the left side)

From @Doekse via PM on Slack, as already mentioned.

Soooo… When the parcel arrived, I dived into migrating right away, it was a bit of a time consuming hassle with 2 Pro 19’s and no plans up front.
No unboxing movies here (I never got my head around the why ), but pictures, yes.

I noticed the 4GB description at the memory section right away, but I assumed it was a just a typo, because at “Model” it said “Homey Pro 2023”.

But is seems to be a Pro 2026 with actual 4GB’s of memory , what a surprise, again!

Thanks Athom and thank you all voters

With the accidentally installed rc firmware update it shows 2026 now:

The first 62 apps seem to run fine, one hundred should be possible as it seems?

Wifi connection works fine up 'till now

One issue: the 433MHz radio doesn’t respond at all.
When operating migrated devices it says “433MHz sent too many commands”.

What about the classic Pro’s?

They keep functional as backup / test machines and for 433MHz for now
And I still like to use the LED ring as “candles”, and power import/export indicators (red/green) during the day.
I didn’t use the speaker much, but I very much would like a Bluetooth speaker possibility on the next Pro 2026 firmware update

The big surprise arrived today.

Thanks again to all the community members, especially those who voted for me, and of course to Athom!

[Adrian_Rockall]

Mine arrived yesterday, but I have been too busy playing to report here

My previous HP2023 was teetering on the edge of memory, so seeing lots of space again and everything running smoothly is great.

Thanks to all that voted and to Athom.

[Peter_Kawa]

Somewhat unexpected: no need for Microsoft.

The USB tool works with linux (Mint) + Chromium browser

Oh, and offline backup + restore went very well!

[martijnpoppen]

Thanks once again to the Homey team!
I received my additional present today !

[Henk_Renting]

Wow that is a great prize! Congratulations and compliments to Athom…

(By the way: hope you get the Rituals Genie connected to your WiFi. Rituals has been rubbish for months now. See the iOS Android appstores for reviews…)

[Arie_J_Godschalk]

I finally got around to installing my HP2026 Special Edition today.

Looks very nice! And I love the 4GB, finally I have some memory space left

Thanks @athom!
