Homey Pro (2026)

⚠ Similar names, different products: Athom sells this simply as 'Homey Pro' on its store — the year is how the company distinguishes hardware revisions, not a separate product line. It is a memory upgrade over the Homey Pro (2023), which had 2 GB against this model's 4 GB, and Athom is explicit that the two are 'treated as the same generation' for support purposes. Distinct from the cheaper Homey Pro mini, which is a different device.

Before you buy

What do you need to make it work?

No hub for the device alone

Choose a platform above for its connection. A hub can be optional for the device itself and required for a platform or automation.

One device can provide more than one role. These are setup requirements, not a shopping list of separate purchases.

What could you do with this?

Put its functions to use.

Research, not hands-on testing

Start with a documented control or event. The selected connection shows what is confirmed for that platform.

We have not established a control or event to illustrate for this product. Check the connection and equipment information above.

A documented control or event is one part of a setup. It does not by itself establish a complete automation.

The functions, side by side

What can you use, and where?[3]

A platform connection does not confirm every function. Controls and reported events are shown separately from what an automation can use.

Reported events
None documented by the vendor

Individual function comparisons are not available. The control and event summaries above distinguish an unanswered question from a documented absence.

Listed device functions are established from vendor documentation. An ability missing here is unestablished, not necessarily absent.

Connection details and setup sources
EcosystemSupportThe catch
Amazon AlexaWorksWorks with this ecosystem[1][10][13]Athom includes the voice assistant link with Homey Pro as a cloud service and lists Amazon Alexa among the assistants it works with, so the devices Homey runs can be reached from Alexa through Athom's cloud. Athom doesn't list which kinds of device or which controls carry over to Alexa.
Google HomeWorksWorks with this ecosystem[1][10][13]Athom includes the voice assistant link with Homey Pro as a cloud service and lists Google Assistant among the assistants it works with, so the devices Homey runs can be reached from Google Home through Athom's cloud. Athom doesn't list which kinds of device or which controls carry over to Google.
Apple HomePartialPartial support — see the catch[1][10]⚠ Read this one carefully, because it is the gap in an otherwise complete hub: Athom names 'Siri Shortcuts', NOT Apple Home or HomeKit. Siri Shortcuts is voice and automation triggering, not accessory publication — so Homey's devices do not thereby appear in the Apple Home app the way a HomeKit bridge's would. An Apple household should assume voice control and shortcuts, and verify anything more before buying. ⊕ Worth knowing beside it: the hub is a Matter v1.5 controller, and Matter is a route Apple Home speaks — but Athom does not describe that direction on this page, and this catalogue does not publish protocol theory as a compatibility claim.
SmartThingsInconclusiveWe researched this and the evidence doesn't settle it — the catch explains why[1][10]Not established. Athom's page names Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, Siri Shortcuts and Matter, and SmartThings is absent — but a hub vendor's marketing list is not an exhaustive enumeration, and no per-model statement was found in either direction. Recorded as unknown rather than as an evidenced absence.
Home AssistantInconclusiveWe researched this and the evidence doesn't settle it — the catch explains why[1][10]Not established, and worth saying plainly because the two are natural rivals rather than partners: Homey Pro is itself the automation platform, so a household buying one is usually choosing it instead of Home Assistant. Athom names no Home Assistant relationship on the page we read, and no Home Assistant documentation naming the Homey Pro (2026) was checked when this was written.

? Inconclusive means we researched that ecosystem and the evidence doesn’t settle it — the catch says why, and the sources are listed below. It is a statement about the available evidence, never a verdict on the product. A Setup Check researches your exact setup where the official sources don’t answer.

Plans and ongoing costs[1][10]

✓ Works without a subscription: Yes.

Vendor account required: Not established — we have not sourced this yet.

The hub's own job carries no fee — automations run on the device, which is the product's entire premise. One optional paid service is named on the page: 'Cloud Backups' for 'just $ 10 per year'. That is backup insurance rather than a functional gate, and $10/year is an order of magnitude below the monthly-fee model most of this catalogue's camera and security products run on.

Maintenance and offline use

The catch

$449 is the most expensive hub in this catalogue, and it went up: Athom raised the price from $399 on 1 June 2026 and published a post explaining why. The Apple story is narrower than the radio list implies — Athom names Siri Shortcuts, not Apple Home, so this is voice control rather than your devices appearing in the Home app. And one regional detail that is easy to get wrong when buying from a European company: Z-Wave radios are frequency-locked by region, so a US buyer needs the US unit Athom ships for the US and Canada, not an imported one. One radio on the list cannot send in North America: Athom says 433 MHz transmission is currently turned off on Homey Pro in the US, Canada and South Korea.

Who it's for

A household with devices on several protocols — Zigbee, Z-Wave, Thread, Matter, Bluetooth, even infrared — that wants one box to speak all of them and run the automations locally rather than in someone's cloud. The dated support floor of at least June 2031 is a real answer to the question this catalogue asks of every hub. Look elsewhere if Apple Home integration is the point, or if a $449 hub plus its ecosystem is more than the problem is worth.
