Why did we create Homey Bridge? Because we wanted to bring a proper, powerful, versatile and privacy-aware smart home to a lot more people. We have been building smart home platforms and hubs for well over 7 years now, starting with our Kickstarter for our fist hub in 2014, and later with the release of a 2.0 version and Homey Pro in 2019. Our hubs are used and loved by hundreds of thousands of users in Europe, but for a lot of people, they were out of reach: the hubs cost $299-$399 upfront, without people able to experience the app beforehand. That is why we have rebuilt our Homey platform in the cloud. This allowed us to greatly cut back on hardware costs for the hub itself, which is why we can offer Homey Bridge for $69. What is Homey Bridge? Homey Bridge is the latest smart home hub in the Homey family. It connects to the new Homey online service for smart home control and automation, and allows you to connect devices on Zigbee, Z-Wave (Plus), BLE, Infrared and 433MHz to Homey. 💰 This beautiful, universal hub is available for $69. 🔒 Privacy and security are pillars of Homey and our smart home service. We don't run ad networks or retailing companies, and we don't use any of your personal data for profiling or other double agendas. About the new Homey service 📝 The new Homey, our online smart home service, is just released as public beta, and you can sign up for the waiting list today for free to get access as one of the first in the world. 📱 Homey leverages the years of experience of the team from Homey Pro and uses the same Homey app. 🌍 Where Homey Pro is EU-only, the new service and Homey Bridge are available worldwide! 💰 When adding more than 5 devices to Homey, a Homey Premium subscription of $2.99/month is needed. This is one subscription for the whole home, and how we can run a sustainable business while maintaining privacy. Coming soon 🌎 Homey Bridge can currently be ordered from our website. After the beta it will be available across major retailers in both the EU and the US. 🏬 Retail partners include MediaMarkt, Walmart, Best Buy, The Home Depot, Lowe's, Amazon, Coolblue, Elkjøp, Kjell&Company and more. 💡 During and after the beta a lot of extra device brands will be added to our platform. As it's an open platform, you can expect continuous development with new devices and possibilities! Last remarks We're very excited to bring our beloved Homey to so many more users with the launch of our new Homey service and Homey Bridge. Have any questions? Please drop them in the comments below! 🙂

Looks slick! Does it hook into home-assistant?

@stewup Hi Steward, Thanks! It doesn't hook into home-assistant - with Homey we've built our own open ecosystem over the past five years of retail availability. This means that this is much simpler to set up - everyone able to install a Sonos speaker or a Chromecast is able to get started with Homey and get a better smart home. If you're into home automation, feel free to sign up for our (free!) beta, so you can experience it yourself :)

Looks cool! I've been a big fan of your other products. How exactly does the beta work that seems necessary now?

@gielsbrouwer Hi Giels, thanks for your interest and question, and great to hear you've been a fan :) Our new device, Homey Bridge, works in tandem with our new Homey cloud-based service. You can even use the service to control and automate cloud-connected devices without Homey Bridge, by the way, if you don't need the Zigbee/Z-Wave/IR/BLE connectivity. This service is in beta at the moment, as we want to make sure everything scales well. We have a beta waitinglist that you can enlist on for free via the 'Get It' button, which links you to https://homey.app/beta on our site. We will gradually invite more and more people from the queue/waitlist to our beta. When you've received an access code, you can start using our new Homey service and also connect a Homey Bridge for control of devices on Zigbee, Z-Wave, Infrared, etc.

We bought this (in the states) to try to connect with our Leviton smart electric panel and the smart light switches. It works with none of those. Have several other smart items in our home and doesn't work with anything. We want to return this and are being asked to ship back at our expense to the Netherlands. Um, no. This product was not ready for the US market. There are other smart hubs that can do so much more and actually work to automate. Not super sure what this is for if it doesn't connect to anything?
