Smart Home Hub
Imagine tapping one button and your home understands what you mean: the hallway lights glow warm, the blinds rise just enough for daylight, music starts softly, and the heating settles into a comfortable rhythm. That feeling, of everything working together, is exactly what a smart home hub delivers. And among hubs, Homey Pro stands out because it’s powerful, easy, and future-proof.
At Homedia, we believe smart homes should feel natural from day one. In this guide, you’ll learn what Homey Pro is, why a hub makes everyday life simpler, and how you can start in minutes, without technical jargon.
What Is Homey Pro?
Homey Pro is the central brain of your smart home. It connects lights, thermostats, locks, sensors, speakers, and more into one app, so you control everything in one place.
It runs your automations locally for speed and reliability and supports the newest standards like Matter and Thread so you can mix brands freely and grow over time.
In one sentence: Homey Pro brings your devices together, automates daily routines, and keeps everything running smoothly, even when the internet has a bad day.
Why a Hub at All?
Less app-hopping
Instead of five different apps for five different brands, you use one clear interface.
Local is reliable
Automations keep working at home speed. If your internet is unstable, your scenes can still run.
Automations feel easy
Build simple “When this happens → then do that” routines without coding. Start small, grow big.
Future-proof
With Matter & Thread, you’re choosing the modern way devices talk to each other, brand-agnostic and long-term.
See It in Action: Three Everyday Automations
1) “Good Morning”
When it’s time to get up: gently raise blinds, set warm light in the kitchen, pre-heat the bathroom to comfort.
2) “I’m Leaving”
Tap a button or use presence detection: turn off lights, lower heating, lock the door, and arm motion notifications on selected sensors.
3) “Energy-Smart”
Run the dishwasher or EV charging during cheaper hours, or switch off non-essentials automatically when no one is home.
You can build each of these in a few taps, no technical background required.
Matter & Thread: Super Short and Clear
- Matter is a universal language for smart home devices. Different brands, same language. So things just work together.
- Thread is a low-energy network your devices create across the home. It’s fast, stable, and self-healing.
- Homey Pro acts as the controller and includes a Thread Border Router, so adding compatible devices is straightforward and future-ready.
Mix brands with confidence and enjoy a rock-solid connection.
What Can You Connect?
Start with the essentials and add more over time:
- Light: smart bulbs, switches, light strips
- Climate: smart thermostats, temperature sensors
- Security: smart door locks, smoke sensors, motion sensors
- Multimedia: smart speakers, tvs, headphones
- Door and Window: smart contact sensors, garage door opener
Local First: Why It Matters
Homey Pro runs your automations inside your home, not in a distant cloud. That makes everything feel faster and more dependable. Even if your internet drops, your “Good Night” scene still runs as usual. With fewer external services in the loop, control stays private by design. And when you want to manage things from afar, remote access is available on your terms: simple when you need it and invisible when you do not.
Clear Overview, Real Insights
Homey’s built-in dashboards and the Energy view give you a live snapshot of your home, so you can see what is on, how much power devices are using, and where savings are hiding. Pin your favorite rooms and devices, track trends over hours, days, or weeks, and spot energy hogs before they inflate your bill. It is not just control, it is clarity that helps you make better choices every day.
Start in 15 Minutes (Really)
- Unbox & power Homey Pro.
- Install the Homey app on your phone and follow the guided setup.
- Add your first device (we recommend a Thread/Matter bulb).
- Create your first scene—for example “Good Evening”:
- When you tap the scene → dim living room lights to 40%, set them warm, and play your favorite playlist.
That’s it. You’ll feel the difference on day one.
For the Curious: Room to Grow
- Advanced Flow: Build more complex routines with conditions, timing, and branches, still visually, still approachable.
- HomeyScript: For power users, a light touch of JavaScript unlocks special logic for unique setups.
- Experiments: Try cutting-edge features if you like tinkering, totally optional for everyday use.
If you never touch these advanced tools, you’ll still have a fantastic smart home. They’re there when you want them.
Safety Net: Backup & Restore
Create local backups from your Mac or PC and restore to a previous state any time. It’s peace of mind for your automations and device setup. Each snapshot saves your flows, device pairings, and settings, so you can safely experiment or roll back after updates in just a few clicks. Prefer set-and-forget protection? There’s also an optional paid Cloud Backup service that keeps automatic, scheduled backups for quick recovery whenever you need it.
Voice & Assistants
Prefer to talk to your home? Apple Home, Amazon Alexa and Google Home let you control supported devices and run your favorite scenes with simple voice commands or native routines. Say “Good Night” to shut down lights, dim the living room for movie time, or warm the bathroom before you wake. Hands-free. You decide which devices and scenes are shared with each assistant for a tidy, privacy-aware setup. And if you’d rather tap than talk, everything remains fully controllable from the Homey app and widgets.
