Because it will keep running badly, or at least, it will run much beter if every app is SDK3 and mostly: if SDK2 doesn’t need to be in the sourceode anymore, it’s much beter.
It otherwise leaves a mess.

Do you have a TV with browser you can send and URL to?
Or can you send a URL to speakers?
Or an URL to Alexa?
If so, use the Google Services App to create voice.
(You can use the Non-Cloud without setting up anything)
While i do agree, this is not realistic in any way. They cannot change stuff like that or it might be 1 or 2 years later before the product sees the light of day.
I would have prefered to keep the led and speaker also, but these are the products that are gonna come (right now), so pick it or leave it is al we can do.
But i did find a sort of solution: [Vote] Feature App: Homesh: Connect 2023 to Old Homey for Led, Speaker, Zwave(satellite) and network resource - Apps - Homey Community Forum
Already integrated Soundboard in the Homesh Apps:
@Marcel_Visser do you have a router with USB-stick or NAS or UPnP server?
You can use that to play the same sound-files on your speakers.

Maybe try this translation page to keep everything in english. Works easy.

I’m keen on the benefits of the new device and have ordered, but I am concerned on your reliance on the motivation of the developing community and the efforts of your customers to rebuild from the ground up; Personally I have developed my configuration over a period of time and investment and won’t be pleased at being left with a blank that cost GBP400.
How are you going to address these two (very important areas IMHO) as there is a danger that the hardware gets a facelift but the overall solution takes a significant step backwards.
developer migration and migration support? An extended availability of legacy to overlap both products while the new is established?

Unless there is a way to migrate from current Homey Pro to the new one this is going to have to wait. TBH I’m assuming there is as to not have a way to migrate would be an enormous error

Q1. When have you plan for one working migration from old Homey pro to the new one? Since you did not give a clear message, I refrained from a pre-order! It’s to much work to reconnect all my zwave and Zigbee devices, many in the wall some ones just don’t pair that easily.

Hello,
I’m also interested in having the option to backup and restore homey pro 2022’s setup through IP connection (WIFI or Ethernet) from a PC.
That would be a lot lot more convenient than through USB !
Are you planning such a thing ?
Regards

You should prioritize migration from 2016-2019! It’s a No Go to start fresh with all devices from scratch… And again retyping all advanced flows? Realy? Good luck! If you have a Go for that, I will buy the new Pro and some hubs

You should also remember that in the worst case scenario, many of your sensors and actuators may no longer work, as Athom is also discontinuing support for SDK2 apps on the old Homey. If the apps have not been updated by D-Day, you can only download them from GitHub and install them. A restore of such apps will then also no longer work.
The days of the sphere are numbered. Why can’t Athom let old Homey die with dignity and still have to actively euthanise him?
Hi @Emile, I would be interested in your opinion on my thoughts.
Don’t be so dramatic 
SDKv2 apps won’t stop working on Homey Pro (Early 2019) or earlier. Even when restoring a backup they will be restored.

Now that SSH access is coming: will we finally also get access to decent (debug) logging on the 2023 model? Right now it’s pretty much impossible to do any troubleshooting ourselves, except for some trial & error by toggling apps and flows on/off.
And as also mentioned by others: how many devices will the new zigbee chip support? If that’s similar to Conbee II (500 devices), I hope to simplify my setup by taking Deconz out of the equation (separate docker on NAS + Unsupported Homey App) .

Q: Is it possible in satellite mode that you use your local network to extend the zwave and zigbee connection to other houses or garage in your garden

- What was with the matching shoes with Steffan during the key note?
- There were some great status on how Pro 2022 signal strength compare to the 2019 Pro, which can further be extended by satalite bridges, however it sounds like its using a newer chips then the bridge - how does the Pro 2022 signal strength compare to the bridge. I ask so that I can place them properly.

I bought the homey pro for about one month ago. Is there any kind of upgrade system for lower prize if ordering the new version if, as in my case, the old version is bought recently?
