Homey Self Hosted Server - What Does This Mean For Home Assistant Users?

Homey has just launched Homey Self-Hosted Server, allowing Homey to run on your own hardware instead of a dedicated hub. If you’re a Home Assistant user, this video is not about switching platforms, instead, I take a calm, practical look at: 👉 What Homey Self-Hosted Server actually is 👉 What it offers compared to traditional Homey hubs 👉 What it doesn’t offer (and its limitations) 👉 And most importantly, what this means for Home Assistant users and the wider smart home ecosystem Self-hosting, local control, and user-owned hardware are core reasons many of us use Home Assistant, and it’s interesting to see other platforms move in the same direction. ℹ️ You should know that as an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
