Homey Pro runs locally with no subscription, and Homey Cloud starts free without a hub. Its support for more than 70,000 devices and its Matter, Thread and Zigbee support are broad, but community apps vary in quality. Automations run on the hub without cloud delays, with Zigbee, Z-Wave and Matter support. The hub is a hardware purchase, and its software is not open source.
