The Homey Pro Mini is setting a new path for smart home enthusiasts who are eager to manage their devices seamlessly without being tied to subscriptions or cloud accounts. This compact powerhouse features a robust 1.5 GHz ARM quad-core processor, paired with 1 GB of RAM. While this setup allows for running around 20 applications simultaneously—half of what its bigger sibling, the Homey Pro, can manage due to its 2 GB RAM—the Homey Pro Mini still promises efficient performance for everyday tasks.
Offering 8 GB of flash storage, the same as the Homey Pro, the Mini operates on the intuitive Homey Pro OS. This smart home operating system empowers users to control their devices via user-friendly smartphone and tablet apps, as well as web dashboards. For those looking to expand their smart home ecosystem, the Homey App Store provides access to a variety of third-party applications that can enhance functionality and convenience.
A major highlight of the Homey Pro Mini is its ability to facilitate direct control of smart devices through local servers—no subscription fees or cloud accounts necessary for automations. This feature ensures more privacy and autonomy for users managing their smart home environments.
As for its debut, the Homey Pro Mini is slated to make its first appearance in the US by April 2025, priced at $199. For those contemplating an upgrade or a new addition to their smart home hub, the Homey Pro Mini offers a sleek, efficient, and cost-effective option.
