Homey Pro
Homey Pro
Homey Pro is what makes my dual-system setup work: Apple Home stays the clean front-end, and Homey handles the back-end automations and device compatibility. In this build, it let me bring in both Zigbee (Aqara) and Matter over Thread (IKEA) sensors, then trigger the shutoff valve with different logic for critical vs non-critical leaks.
Pros
- +Great back-end automation engine for complex leak workflows
- +Bridges multiple ecosystems so you can still use Apple Home as the front end
- +Lets you mix Zigbee and Matter devices in one automation system
Cons
- -Adds another platform to manage alongside Apple Home
- -Requires time to set up flows and notifications the way you want
