flag Homey launches self-hosted smart home software for local control, supporting 50K+ devices with optional hardware.

flag Homey has launched Homey Self-Hosted Server, a software-only smart home platform that runs on users’ own hardware, offering local control without relying on cloud services. flag It supports over 50,000 devices across 1,000 brands and works on Raspberry Pi, Windows, macOS, Linux, Docker, and various NAS systems. flag Users need a separate Homey Bridge (€69) for Zigbee, Z-Wave, and other wireless protocols. flag The software includes all Homey Pro features, with a one-month free trial followed by a €4.99 monthly fee or €149 lifetime license. flag The move targets privacy-conscious users wanting control and resilience, allowing reuse of existing hardware and reducing vendor lock-in. flag Available globally, it reflects growing demand for self-hosted smart home solutions.
