Make Your Home Smart with Homey Pro
3 h€ 500 Calm
Connect your lights, heating, and security into one smart system. An afternoon's work and your home starts thinking for itself.
A smart home doesn't start with the gadgets but with a good hub. Homey Pro talks to Zigbee, Z-Wave, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth, which means you can connect almost any smart device: lights, thermostats, cameras, doorbells. Before you get started, make a list of what you want to automate and check whether it's compatible, so you don't hit a wall later.
The installation itself is manageable: plug the hub in, connect it to your Wi-Fi, create an account in the app, and add housemates. Then you pair your devices one by one and use Flows to build your first automations. Lights on at sunset, heating off when everyone's gone, a notification when motion is detected. Starting small and building up works best. Before you know it, your home is doing the thinking and you're not.
First, explore what Homey Pro can do. Make a list of the devices you want to automate and check whether they work with Zigbee, Z-Wave, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
Suggestion: You can usually find compatibility information on the manufacturer's website.Plug in the hub, connect it to your Wi-Fi, and create your account in the Homey app. Add housemates so they can control the smart devices too.
Pair your devices one by one via 'Add Device'. Choose the right category and follow the pairing procedure, which can vary from device to device.
Build your first Flows: lights on at sunset, heating off when everyone's gone, a notification when motion is detected. Start small and expand step by step.
