Homey Pro
Homey Pro
Homey Pro is what I’ve been using as my automation hub because Matter devices are usually painless to add and then build real logic around. In this video it’s important because it highlights the downside of HomeKit-only devices: I couldn’t get the Thorbolt MK1 into Homey Pro at all. If Homey is your brain, compatibility matters just as much as the lock hardware.
Pros
- +Great for centralizing automations across devices
- +Matter pairing is straightforward compared to platform-specific devices
Cons
- -HomeKit-only devices like the Thorbolt MK1 may be incompatible
- -Can’t rely on it as a universal solution if a device isn’t Matter
