Huge problems after installing a new modem... But hopefully, Daphne's support (Athom) was very efficient in order to solve it. Thank you !

I ended up in a dead end Working on on…

I ended up in a dead end Working on on a subject with my homey, and therefore I needed support from Athom. I got the response approx half an hour later which I find amazing. I have no idea if that’s normal, but in this case it was first class service related to the quality in their answer as well as their fast response time. It might have been a simple thing for them but that doesn’t change my positive meeting with homeys support team

Very good support

Have received help from Homey support to solve Zigbee problems on my Homey pro 2019. Everything was done via email and I experienced a quick response to the questions asked.
Several solutions were proposed and a good solution to the problem was found.
Homey has an available support unlike other providers of smart home solutions.

Powerful and Easy

The application and device have been created in a way to carefully provide both a powerful smart home integration that is incredibility easy and fun to get up and running.

I am really happy with both the application and the devices.

Homey Pro shipment lost and no help from Customer Support. Very disappointing

New Homey Pro bought in December (and paid!). Waited until May 16th for my turn in cue so product can be shipped to Spain.
After more than a month ( June 26th), the shipment keeps stucked in the NE. Customer support takes days/weeks to answer. They haven't offered a solution or another unit to be sent.
I'm just sending emails with no response. Very disappointed and waiting for another unit or my money back.

Hi German,

As you would have seen with your pre-order in Early Access in December (and have checked checkboxes to agree with), shipping was indeed later. Including our updates over email we tried to make sure you had all the information on production status as well as we could, but if we could improve here please let us know how.

About your shipment, it's really unfortunate that somehow it is stuck. Unfortunately this is hard for us to control as it's the express companies we use that often create a hold-up.

Since we are shipping more devices and are in the middle of the roll-out of our new product in Early Access, our support team has a lot of feedback to process and therefore a whole lot of incoming tickets. We have expanded our team to accomodate this, but unfortunately one of our most experienced team members has gotten ill, so we are working with less support team members on a heavily inflated ticketbox. The ticket form and first, automated response should inform you about that.

I agree that this is a very unfortunate chain of events, certainly in your situation, but know that we *will* process your ticket the right way and *will* make sure Homey Pro arrives with you in the right way – whatever we have to do to make it right. In these busy times, it just might take a bit longer, but know we are working as hard as we can to help everyone in a proper manner.

As a tip: do not email more often as an update to your ticket, as in our systems, that sort from old to new to answer old tickets first, it actually resets the timer. I completely realize this is frustrating, and we're sorry that in these extra-ordinary times for our company with a huge roll-out and unplanned illness we cannot meet our desired response times. We do everything we can to get back to normal quickly and provide everyone the best experience with Homey, including on our support.

You guys are doing a super job

You guys are doing a super job.
Homey is really fantastic...i am happy any day more despite the small challenges due to beta but this is really nothing major and the whole system is working reliably.
I like the opportunity to add virtually any kind of devices to control my entire home and i am making this very big in my house.
The support offered is outstanding.
Really looking forward to see more capabilities and functionalities!!

Thanks to the whole team - please pass my thanks to the whole team again!!

Great product and matching support.

Great product and matching support.
I managed to delete my account but Homey support put me back on the right track within the hour (Dennis rules !).
As a result I feel very comfortable now that I know there is this efficient helpdesk to count on.

excellent customer support

I was a happy homey uses until the unexpected happened, my homey died :-( The customer support reacted pretty fast after my desperate mail if they have time to have a look at it. they ware willing to have a look, but the homey was not salvageable any more. the homey was a 2018 model, and they found a solution for me to replace it with an 2018 model which was laying around for a while in their office. of course I was over the moon with their offer to replace it free of charge, and the next day I received the homey. after re-connecting the modules I have, and programming the homey again ( I had no backup :-( ) it worked like a charm again.
All the credits for Dennis, customer support at Athom.

They have the best customer support…

They have the best customer support ever.
Responstime is always quick and I've always get help, both with software support and Hardware support.

My 3 year old Homey Pro went dead and the Support replaced it with a new Homey Pro.

I have several years of experience of various smart homes and IOT ecosystems and the Homey-concept has proven to be the best all around solution

Thank you Athom

Flaky product. Unhelpful support.

Flaky, unstable device (Homey pro) and shoulder shrugging, couldn't care less support. After 6 months of perseverance we gave up on both.

Hi Terry,

We're really sorry it's taken us this long to respond to your review. You deserved a much earlier reply, especially after such a frustrating experience.

It’s incredibly disappointing to hear that you had ongoing issues with your Homey Pro and felt let down by our support. That’s not the level of service or reliability we aim to provide.

Since then, we’ve made significant improvements to both product stability and our customer support. While we know this doesn’t change your past experience, we do appreciate your feedback and take it seriously as we continue working to improve.

If there’s ever anything we can do, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our support team.

Kind regards,
The Homey Team

I Love my Homey pro but i hate Athom for its greed!

I absolutely love my homey pro, BUT, the price is utter GREED, that is why i will not give it more than 2 stars. Why you might ask?
WHO would EVER dare to take full price for beta products? The hardware inside this device is based on Raspberry pi, a board that cost around 250ddk, lets say 500ddk with ram and what not or even 1000ddk, (danish currency). So then there is the software, ofcourse they should have money for their product for what they have created, but 2000-2800ddk?? For a device with beta version, NA AH.

No doubt that Homey Pro at this very moment is the best product regarding Smart Homes, but that do NOT justfy the insane price they decided to put upon this device. And I hope some other company will start giving Athom competition so we can get rid of this greed
Regarding software, let compare with anything else. Gaming for instance, not hardware but software, beta versions or their so called early access comes with a discount price, they same did Adobe with their photoshop on the early days, i dont know if they still do thisnow, i dont care about them either, it is common to give a discount for products that is not yet done. But definitely not Athoms, its greed greed greed.
I have and had other products based on Raspberry pi, 3d printer, my home theater control system, this device is now dead but never the less it contained the same, hardware and software, i paid 1500ddk for this back in 2018 and that was a finished products, yes prices and expenses raises, but again 3400ddk???

I love the device, no secret about that, and but the price is insane and its does absolutely not justify its self when software is in BETA.

Shove the greed where the sun dont shine.

Hi Steffen,

Thank you for taking the time to review us, and it's great to hear that you are loving your Homey Pro (I assume the Early 2019 version)!

We always love honest feedback, which is why we're happy to take the time to explain our price-point to you. I hope you don't mind I convert it to EUR as that is a bit more convenient for us (and other people outside of Denmark that might read this).

Like the previous generation, the new Homey Pro is indeed also €399. Compared to the version you already love, it has 3.5x the processing power, 2x the RAM and storage, newer wireless chipsets on almost all technologies and a better range. Ánd it includes Advanced Flow. All for the same price.

You are correct in stating that Homey Pro is based on a Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4. However, that is not all that is included in the €399 price. As you might know, the Raspberry Pi CM4 does not include Zigbee, Z-Wave, 433MHz, Infrared or Thread radios, nor the antennas, power circuits, certification, LEDs, ports and casing(molds) etc. that come with a fully functional, assembled product.

The price point of Homey Pro is based on all these costs, including, but definitely not limited to the Raspberry Pi CM4, plus all the hardware and wireless technologies listed above ánd the software development that we're doing on the Homey platform, which is not free either, of course. With Homey Pro, you'll be getting years of software updates included in your purchase as well. Next to that, we have to take into account a retail margin and VAT as well, of course.

We believe in building good products and selling these at a fair price, without resorting to abusing user data or endangering our business (and with that your product). You will see that most advanced automation hubs / controllers are in the ballpark-pricing of Homey Pro, especially those with a quad core and 2 GB of RAM in local processing power, several smart home technologies and continued support, (and not a one-man army or an (almost-)bankrupt company).

As for beta and pre-orders, you are correct in stating that the pricing is the same, you simply get it earlier. We do this, because, unlike games or Adobe, we do not want people buying Homey Pro in pre-order because it's cheaper. We only want users that want early access and that wilfully choose a beta to participate, which is why we chose not to discount it. Especially with the large demand we're seeing and Raspberry Pi's delivery issues, we want to make sure the right people receive the units we're able to build now.

This is not fueled by greed - we could probably make more money selling more units at a discount in pre-order, but we don't want to push people towards this. This is also why our pre-order page shows a pop-up with an explicit opt-in for Early Access before a pre-order is even possible.

In the end, the €399 price of Homey Pro is the right price for us. It takes into account VAT, a margin for retailers, the Raspberry Pi CM4, all the other hardware, radios and custom PCBs, design, development, certification, molds as well as continued support and other costs we have, and makes sure we can run a sustainable business. Whether this price tag is also right for you can only be answered by you. Of course, you're always free to simply not buy the new Homey Pro - it's your choice. I did want to explain a bit to you that the new Homey Pro is more than just a CM4 in a plastic case with our software.

We wish you a great day either way!

Homey Customer Service

I bought a Homey Pro 2023 and a week later my 2019 edition died. I contacted support and i loved their questions, answers and interest in my died homey. Beside this i never experienced this fast and clear communication! Couldn't be better. After all they gave me a new 2019 edition for the time being! My house is back online again :) Thank you so much! To bad i cant give 10 star!

Great support when things go wrong

Great support when things go wrong. I felt listened to and got a warranty issue resolved in a very smooth and quick manner. Which is for me something a company can do to stand out - when things go wrong, at some point things do - it's how you resolve and treat your customers when this does happen that makes the difference. Great customer support on this issue and I am very pleased.
