I'm trying out Homey SHS as a long-time HA & Homeseer user. I'm really liking the advanced flow builder, but can I seriously not see when the last time a flow was triggered? There's no master log or history page either unless I'm missing it? It would also be nice if there was a visual indication of it being triggered when I'm viewing it (Like in HA).

Is there some sort of app that adds this functionality? Is this something that's on the roadmap?

I have a simple BILRESA dual button from IKEA, hoping to control some blinds.

Everything's set up and ready to go, except I'm stuck on the logic. Help greatly appreciated 🙏

I'd like to be able to raise the blinds w a single press of the top button, but pause / interrupt the motion with a second press of the button. Same (opposite) for the bottom button.

I can get the blinds to raise and lower, but only completely.

Any suggestions? Hoping I'm missing something simple...

Hi, I was thinking of getting the Homey Self Hosted Server to run on my UGreen NAS, and getting the Homey Bridge to get the wireless radios, but I read it does not support Thread or Matter? Is that right? It may be an issue for me as all my smart plugs are Matter. Would I in that case be better off with the Homey Pro?

Hi,

I’m discovering the possibility of migrating/starting over in Homey SHS with a bridge coming from Home Assistant.

At first glance my most critical devices seem to be compatible with Homey, however my biggest concern is migrating my Zigbee devices.

I currently have 116 Zigbee devices, of which around 35% are battery powered and the rest are router devices.

I’m mainly wondering:

- How well does Homey SHS/Bridge handle larger Zigbee networks in real-world usage?
- Is anyone here running 100+ Zigbee devices on Homey successfully?
- Would this be realistic on a Homey Bridge, or is Homey Pro basically required?
- How stable is the Zigbee mesh over time?
- Any issues with routing, latency, devices randomly disconnecting, or repairing?

I don’t mind rebuilding automations, but I do care a lot about long-term stability and maintainability.

Would love to hear experiences from people who migrated from Home Assistant with larger Zigbee setups.

Thanks!

I have a dashboard which I'm displaying on my iPad in kiosk mode. From time to time I'll notice that the dashboard isn't up to date with what is actually going on in the room. For example a light shows on in the dashboard but is actually off. Force closing the Homey app on the iPad and then opening it back up always refreshes the dashboard and it's back to normal.

Is it possible to automate a dashboard refresh in a flow? Currently I'm not seeing any cards that do that but would love to know if anyone has been able to solve for this.

Hi everyone,

I’ve built a Homey app for a vast amount of internet radios. Any internet radio based on the Frontier Silicon chipset that is compatible with the UNDOK or OKTIV app is supported. This includes radios from brands such as Kenwood, Roberts, Sharp, Blaupunkt, Hama, Medion, Revo, Ruark, and many others.

The app connects your radio directly to Homey over your local network — no cloud required.

App features:

• Automatic discovery of radios on your local network
• Control multiple radios independently
• Turn on/off, select source, select preset
• Volume control (set, up, down, mute, unmute)
• Playback control (play, pause, next track, previous track)
• Now playing information: source, station name, song, and artist
• Full Flow integration

My own use case

Both of my children have a Kenwood M-7000-S radio in their room. Previously, a fixed alarm time was configured on those radios. On school days, Homey gradually turns on the lights and, at the set alarm time, the radio starts playing.

Homey "knows" whether it is a school day by using other apps and therefore skips turning on the lights on non-school days. However, the radios kept waking the children up because I forgot to disable the alarms on non-school days.

The radios could already be controlled using the UNDOK and OKTIV app (Android and iOS). After reading through some documentation, I built a simple script that I used for a couple of weeks. Over the past few days, I couldn’t resist building a proper Homey app, which is now live in the Homey App Store.

Homey now starts the radios only on school days. As a result, the children are no longer woken up by the radios on non-school days. Happy wife, happy life.

Enjoy!

Control your radio however you want. Turn the radio off automatically when you leave the house, mute it when the doorbell rings, or wake up to your favorite radio station.

I'm new to Homey, but have been muddling my way through smart home tech & automations for a few years. I've just successfully installed Switchbot curtain rollers to close curtains (which cover windows that reflect intensely against our TV) and am looking for a simple way for my husband to trigger them.

Ultimately our TV will be concealed in a cabinet with sliding doors, and I can have sensors on the doors that trigger the curtains closing whenever the TV is accessed; for now, I'd be happy if he could pick up the TV remote and tap an NFC tag on the back of it to close the curtains. He has a Pixel 10 Pro XL and the latest Pixel watch, if that's relevant. I've read that Android phones require unlocking before they can trigger anything via NFC which is a bit annoying, but I know from experience he's unlikely to use a widget on his homescreen so I'm looking for as seamless a solution as possible that won't make him resent my over-engineering 😃

Can anyone ELI5 how to get started here? Order cheap NFC tags (are any ok?) watch some NFC + Homey YT videos (any recommendations?) and get on with it, or are there options I'm overlooking? Thanks so much.

UPDATE: Thanks to some brilliant inspiration from these comments, I found success with the Sony Bravia Homey app — now turning the TV on and off triggers the curtains seamlessly 👏

Hi, I’m new to Homey but so far impressed with the integrations and control.

One thing I’m trying to solve for is powering on a large number (around 30) devices with a short delay between each. The devices have a notable inrush current spike when powered on, so powering all 30 on at once is a problem for breaker capacity, but bringing them up one at a time or in small batches is fine.

I know I could do this with an advanced flow and adding delays but over time I add, and remove, these devices from my setup. So ideally my solution wouldn’t require manually adding each device to the flow and adding lines and a new delay card, or removing one and stitching the flow back together.

In pseudo code terms, I want to act on an entire zone and basically do “for each $device in $zone; power on $device; wait 2; next $device”

I’m not really seeing a way to have a flow act on a collection of devices in a zone without either a) acting on the entire zone at once, or b) enumerating each device manually and acting on it individually.

Even the Loops app can repeat an action but it doesn’t seem to be able to repeat a loop with a different device in a zone for each iteration.

Any ideas on this? Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks!

EDIT: Got this working well with HomeyScript, developed with Claude. Here is the script code, and it works great. https://pastebin.com/gXwxCeSE

I'm in the market for a robotic lawnmower and it seems like the perfect thing to automate via Homey. Things like starting when we're not at home, not mowing when it has recently rained etc.

Ideally I'd like to keep things local, I'm running a bridge and self hosted.

Any advice/experiences?

I bought a couple of Alpstuga air quality sensors and Grillplats plugs. Everything should be matter over thread. I can add them to homey (I use the ikea app inside homey, but not the ikea bridge). However I noticed these devices keep on disconnecting from time to time. I added a few more hoping to make the mesh more stable but no luck. Some of these plugs are within line of sight of the homey. I am curious to hear what your experiences are with the ikea plugs?

Hello!

A while ago I shared the Homey Pro for Stream Deck plugin I’ve been building. Thanks for all the feedback!

Since then I’ve been working on it quite a lot, and this latest update focuses much more on making the Stream Deck feel like a proper live Homey dashboard instead of just shortcut buttons.

Some of the bigger changes:

Fresh live values

Previously some values could lag a bit because of Homey SDK caching.

That is now bypassed for shared polling, so fast-changing stuff like power usage, solar export (including negative export values), sensors etc stay much more in sync with Homey itself.

Presence tiles

Family & Guests now works much better as an actual dashboard view, both for groups and individual people.

Profile images

Plus users can now use:

• Homey avatars
• Remote image URLs
• Imported local image paths

You can also customize borders, backgrounds, radius and warning-state overrides.

Dashboard tiles

Graphs, custom ranges, text badges and warning graph overrides are now much more integrated into the plugin instead of feeling like hidden extra settings.

You can basically build your own little Homey control center directly on the Stream Deck.

Feedback and ideas from other Homey users is honestly super appreciated. Would also be fun to hear how people here would set theirs up.

Take care.

I have 8 Third Reality (Zigbee 3rd gen) plugs. I've only been able to get 2 paired successfully?! Can anyone help me out or are you having similar problems?! I followed the instructions, pretty short and simple but no luck

What is the fastest motion sensor that you tested with homey pro.

At the moment I use ikea matter ones are delay is about 1-1.5s.

Would z wave fibaro motion sensor be faster?
