Anyone who’s dabbled with smart home products from multiple brands will know what a mess it is. Different protocols, different apps, and each one requires signing up for a new account, just so you can turn a light on or off without getting out of bed. Thankfully, certain devices, including Homey, aim to address this fragmentation by serving as a single hub to control all your devices from a central location. When we reviewed the Homey Pro (2023), we rated it 4.5 out of 5 for its ability to connect with and control virtually any smart device in your house. And now that the device is getting a newer model that’s ready for 2026, we expect similar performance, given its key upgrade.
Homey’s updated hub to rule all your smart home devices comes with 4GB of RAM, twice as much as the older model. Homey’s creator Athom says doubling the RAM compared to the older model allows running far more apps and routines, called Flows, smoothly and reliably.
