With the introduction of the Homey Pro Mini, Homey presents a new, locally operating smart home center in miniature format. This compact device combines the power of the Homey Pro in a smaller, more affordable package. The Homey Pro Mini offers comprehensive support for numerous smart home technologies and has been specially developed for users who value speed, reliability and data protection.
Key features of the Homey Pro Mini:
- Focus on local processing and data protection – minimal cloud dependency.
- Support for Zigbee, Thread, Matter and Ethernet directly integrated.
- Expandable via Homey Bridge for Z-Wave, Bluetooth LE, 433 MHz and infrared.
- Powerful 1.5 GHz quad-core ARMv8 processor with 1 GB RAM and 8 GB flash memory.
A compact powerhouse for the smart home
The Homey Pro Mini is designed to seamlessly connect a wide range of smart home devices. With support for over 1,000 brands and the ability to run up to 20 apps simultaneously, it is ideal for the typical household. Users can automate devices with Homey Flow, create dashboards and monitor energy consumption with the new energy management features.
Local processing not only ensures speed, but also a high level of data protection. At the same time, Homey’s cloud services such as app store integration and remote access remain available free of charge.
Expansion options with Homey Bridge
The Homey Pro Mini can be expanded with the separately available Homey Bridge to add support for additional technologies such as Z-Wave, Bluetooth LE and infrared. The connection is local, which improves the stability and coverage of the network. Particularly practical: the Homey Bridge can optimize Zigbee coverage in “Satellite Mode”.
Comparison with the Homey Pro
For users with higher requirements, the larger Homey Pro offers enhanced capabilities, including support for more apps (up to 60 simultaneously) and additional network technologies such as Wi-Fi. Nevertheless, the Homey Pro Mini is an ideal solution for most households, offering all the essential features of the larger model in a more compact form.
