Rollin’ with my Homey
Wanted a device that could tie some of my smart home devices together so I could operate them easier — and didn’t want to spend a ton of money. I was able to connect my SONOS, TV, lights, thermostat and door lock easily in the Homey app. I don’t have a ton of smart home devices to connect, so I like that if I do buy more smart devices, I can just upgrade to the premium app version for a small monthly subscription. I also like that Homey isn’t making me their product and seems concerned with user privacy — which is a big reason I got rid of Alexa. Set up was fairly simple and I like that I can now use the flows on Homey to set up my SONOS to start/stop playing when the lights switch on and off. Going to try setting up some other flows this weekend.

Not sure who this product is for…
I’m very disappointed in the Homey Bridge. I purchased it because it was a Hubitat and SmartThings hub alternative. While this is true, there is a significant difference.Homey requires a subscription if you have more than 5 connected devices. Just 5. I only found this out once the box arrived and could not be more disappointed. Almost every single person that would be interested in a Homey bridge will have more than a paltry 5 devices. You’re essentially forced to pay Homey to use the smart devices you’ve already paid for, on a hub that you also already paid for.As if that wasn’t bad enough, you cannot use this device unless you’re invited to their closed beta. They sell the devices, but there is no way to join the beta unless you’re invited. So until that time comes, you have a paperweight. It’s terrible. You would think that as a paying customer with device in hand you’d be granted the ability to use it, but no. They simply tell you to wait. Why bother selling the devices on Amazon if that’s the case?Even if Homey bridge were not in beta, the only benefit to buying one instead of Hubitat or SmartThings Hub is the lower upfront cost. The problem with that is the fact that Homey will cost more in the long run due to their forced subscription.

Bad range
The range of the signals are horrible and the extend your zigbee network you need to buy the homey pro

Terrible installation experience.
I love my Homey Pro mini hub and I really wanted to upgrade it to Zigbee functionality but didn’t want to spend $400 for the regular Pro… so I thought the bridge was perfect at a much more reasonable cost!I was wrong. I can’t even get past the add device screen. It just flashes red at me and says it can’t start the BLE manager. There’s no physical reset button on it so I can’t try a factory reset. Let’s just say installation was a total fail.

Love my Homey
Despite trying to avoid these kinds of devices for years, we decided to get one and we really like the Homey Bridge. It was easy to set up with the app, and although I had a few issues syncing with our main smart TV and a couple of other devices, it’s gotten so much easier over time. We were able to easily connect our Kasa smart plug (which is very important in our house). One of the features my partner enjoys is the energy data it displays so he can track how much energy our home is using. Lastly, I like how light it is and how little room it takes up.

Hard to use IR functionality.
Difficult to use the IR functionality, which is the whole reason I got this bride in the first place. Disappointing.

“Flow” feature is a standout
Impressed with the Homey Bridge and its software, which has a standout feature called “flow” for true home automation. Setting up the Homey Bridge was quick and straightforward, and the interface is simple and user-friendly. While some smart devices like Sonos and Spotify were quickly identified, I had to manually search for and add others such as WiZ, Yale, Samsung TV, and Google Nest. Despite this, having access to all my smart devices in one app is incredibly useful, and I no longer have to waste time searching through my iPhone apps. Overall, the Homey Bridge has made managing my smart home much easier.

Not the best
It was complicated. It took a few tries to get my device to connect.

Big problems so far. Have not been able to work with SmartAssistant, it does not login. A lot of problems reported on the Internet. So far 2 technicians tried, but to no avail. It just will not pair with Alexa and My Weiser Smartcode 10 lock. Amazon delivery was perfect. A third technician will try to work things out shortly. If he does not succeed, unfortunately, I will have to return it eventhough it looks good.Andre Bergeron

We really like this bridge to have several things connected to one spot and it works so well with Google home I have not tried it with Alexa. I like the sleek look too, you cannot put any things on top or it doesn’t work properly, it was easy to install and it has been a great asset to making our home a smart home. Great price for the functionality and quality of this product.
