Default New Homey Pro Mini cuts the RGB (and other features), significantly lowers
Credit: Athom


  • Athom, maker of the Homey ecosystem of smart home tools, is launching a new Homey Pro Mini.
  • It has the core functionality of the standard Homey Pro but trims things out to bring down the cost to just $199.
  • The $399 price of the Homey Pro is one of the most significant barriers to entry into the Homey ecosystem, so this should help to mitigate that problem.

If you’ve ever looked*into Athom’s terrific smart home*ecosystem, centered around its do-it-all*Homey Pro hub, you might have been excited to give it a shot — but then scoffed at its $399 price tag. Previously, your only other way to get into Homey would be to use its cloud-based Homey Premium subscription. That requires a monthly fee, doesn’t allow for local/private connectivity, and also requires a $69 Homey Bridge if you want a centralized hub for your non-Wi-Fi devices.

Today, though, Athom is introducing a brand new option: Homey Pro Mini. As its name suggests, it’s a smaller, trimmed-down version of the Homey Pro. In exchange for foregoing some of the Pro’s features, the Mini comes with a significantly reduced price tag: $199, or roughly 50% of the cost of the Homey Pro.
