Homey Pro
Homey Pro
Homey Pro is where I moved my smart home logic—because it’s a Matter controller, a Thread border router, and it speaks basically everything (Zigbee, Bluetooth, Z-Wave, etc.). I use it to run my automations, motion/presence logic, and button behavior while Hue continues to originate the scenes. Homey flows are just more powerful and user-friendly than what I can build in Apple Home.
Pros
- +Matter controller and Thread border router in one hub
- +Supports many protocols (Zigbee, Z-Wave, Bluetooth, etc.)
- +Powerful, user-friendly automation with Homey flows
Cons
- -Adds another hub if you’re trying to avoid hubs
- -Takes some setup to decide where scenes and automations should live
