Research profile · last verified 2026-08-17Homey 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.
Exactly which product this is[1][2]
- Model number
- Not established
- Generation
- 2026
- Region this page covers
- US
- Also sold or listed as
- Homey Pro
“Not established” means we have not sourced that detail yet — not that the product has no model number, generation or regional variant. We publish the gap rather than filling it.
Compatibility
| Ecosystem | Support | The catch |
|---|---|---|
| Amazon Alexa | WorksWorks with this ecosystem[1] | 'Amazon Alexa' is named on Athom's own product page. As with the other named platforms, Athom lists the ecosystem without enumerating which behaviours cross over, so this records a first-party documented path rather than a verified feature set. |
| Google Home | WorksWorks with this ecosystem[1] | Named as 'Google Assistant' on Athom's own page — the voice layer named rather than Google Home as a platform. The distinction is not resolved on the page, so it is recorded as stated. |
| Apple Home | PartialPartial support — see the catch[1] | ⚠ 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. |
| SmartThings | InconclusiveWe researched this and the evidence doesn't settle it — the catch explains why[1] | 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 Assistant | InconclusiveWe researched this and the evidence doesn't settle it — the catch explains why[1] | Not established, and worth stating plainly because the two products 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 read, and no Home Assistant documentation naming Homey Pro (2026) was checked in this pass. |
? 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.

What it can do[3]
You can tell it to
Not established — we could not confirm this from vendor documentation
It reports
None documented by the vendor
Listed capabilities are what we could establish from vendor documentation. An ability missing here is unestablished — not necessarily absent.
Subscription reality[1]
✓ 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 reality
- Works without the internet: Not established — we have not sourced this yet. It does not mean the product fails without the internet.
- Mains device built to run continuously — it holds the automation engine, so its uptime is the household's automation uptime. Internals as Athom publishes them: a '1.5 GHz Quad Core ARMv8' processor, '4 GB LPDDR4 RAM' and '8 GB eMMC Flash', with the memory being the 2026 revision's headline change. Athom frames what the RAM buys in practical terms — with it, 'you can run well over 100 Homey Apps'.
- Security updates: Homey declares security updates for this model until June 1, 2031 (the document this comes from names no country, so which markets it legally covers is not stated). After that date the product keeps working; the manufacturer simply has no stated obligation to keep issuing security fixes.[1][2]
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.
Who it's for
A household with devices on several protocols — Zigbee, Z-Wave, Thread, Matter, Bluetooth, 433 MHz, 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.
