Weekly Smart Home Newsletter (platform-agnostic, covering Homey news as well)


Update 5-1: Added links to the relevant newsletter issues as the mods were so kind to level me up!


TL;DR: Weekly curated newsletter covering smart home news and developments across all platforms. Subscribe at https://smarthomenewsletter.com (issues every Friday).


Ok, this feels like I’m abroad :grinning_face: : I’m a Home Assistant user, and yes, I created an account specifically to share this. BUT I’ve actually been covering Homey news in my newsletter and I believe it’s interesting for you!

I started The Smart Home Newsletter because I kept missing important developments in the smart home space. Whether you’re using Homey, Home Assistant, or any other platform, we’re all dealing with the same protocols, standards, and hardware. Matter updates, Zigbee news, new device releases, Thread developments: they affect all of us.

Each week I curate the most relevant news, product launches, and articles from across the smart home industry. Recent Homey coverage included (can’t link them as a new user):

It’s platform-agnostic by design because the ecosystem is bigger than any single platform. I’m not here to convert anyone or compare platforms. I just genuinely think there’s value in a newsletter that covers the whole smart home landscape, and I wanted to share it with communities that might find it useful.

You can check it out at https://smarthomenewsletter.com. If it’s not for you, no worries. And mods, if this isn’t appropriate, I understand, even though I read the FAQ and didn’t find anything against this.

Thank you to all Homey users who signed up over the last few weeks! I would appreciate any feedback you might have.

Another question: to make the “Projects & How-To” section a bit more varied, I’m looking for (English) sites or blogs (preferably personal ones) where people write about their Homey projects. Does anyone know of any?

Subscribing doesn’t seem to work…

I do see your subscription! Could you explain the issue you encountered? (maybe better in a PM)
