Affordable, user-friendly and privacy-first smart home hub solution connects more than 50K smart home devices from 1000+ brands to help simplify smart home control, monitoring, automation and energy savings

ENSCHEDE, The Netherlands, March 28, 2023 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Athom, makers of privacy-first smart home solutions, today announced the public launch and began shipping Homey Bridge, an easy-to-use, affordable smart home hub to the U.S., U.K., Canada, and other countries. Previously available only in beta and Europe, Homey Bridge supports more than 50K smart home devices from more than 1,000 different brands, and works in tandem with the Homey App (iOS, Android and web browser), enabling users to customize and automate their smart home based on their unique habits and preferences. Homey Bridge retails for $69 USD, £69 GBP or $99 CAD, and can be purchased on the Homey website, or at Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk.

The elegant and functional design of Homey Bridge forms a perfect centerpiece of a user's smart home and makes it easy for users to connect all of their smart home devices due to its compatibility with six wireless technologies — Zigbee, Z-Wave Plus, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Infrared and 433MHz (UK only). Homey Bridge pairs with the Homey App and enables users to easily connect up to five smart home devices. Upgrading to Homey Premium ($2.99 USD, £2.99 GBP or $3.99 CAD per month) allows users to connect an unlimited amount of smart home devices, and also provides access to additional advanced automation features and Homey Insights. Additionally, the Homey app can be used to control smart home devices as an app-only solution without the need of Homey hardware, with the same subscription pricing structure.

American, British and Canadian households continue to connect a wide array of smart home devices — from TVs, speakers, electrical plugs, lights, thermostats, sensors, home appliances, EV chargers, and more. The volume of connections and devices presents a challenge, however: up to a quarter of respondents in a https://www..deloitte.com/us/en/pages/about-deloitte/articles/press-releases/connectivity-and-mobile-trends.html [2022 Deloitte survey __title__ null] said they "feel overwhelmed by devices and more than half are worried about the security and privacy of their smartphones and devices in their home." Built privacy-first, Homey Bridge is unique in that it doesn't listen in or sell any customer data, or use any of its customers' personal information to create user profiles or targeted advertisements. The result is a streamlined and safeguarded smart home where people can take advantage of technology instead of worrying about who has their personal information or being bombarded with ads.

Homey Bridge is packed with features — including Homey Flow, Insights and Energy — developed over the past eight years for the Homey Pro smart home hub in the European market.

  • Homey Flow enables users to create a series of automated rules that tie their devices together, independent of brand and technology — and help to run their smart homes most efficiently and conveniently, e.g. "Always dim lights in the bedroom when the drapes close" or "Automatically lower the thermostat, turn off the lights and enable the alarm when I lock the front door". Flows can also be started using voice assistants, such as Google, Alexa and Siri Shortcuts, and via widgets for mobile and Apple Watch.
  • Homey Insights allows users to analyze their smart home usage via visual, easy-to-read graphs and charts. For example, users can track trends such as the temperature levels of their homes and thermostat over time, or how much energy their refrigerator uses in summer compared to winter. Homey Insights requires an active Homey Premium subscription — $2.99 USD, £2.99 GBP or $3.99 CAD per month.
  • Homey Energy allows users to see their home's energy usage in real-time, so they can make changes to increase their home's sustainability. For example, users can see how much energy their washing machine uses on 'hot' versus 'warm' wash cycles, how much energy their solar panels generate right now, and which rooms and devices use the most electricity.

HOMEY BRIDGE SPECIFICATIONS:

  • Wireless Communication Technology Compatibility: Homey Bridge contains six wireless technologies: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth Low Energy 4.0 (BLE), Zigbee, Z-Wave (Plus, S2), Infrared and 433MHz RF (UK only), to connect local devices to the Homey app. Homey Bridge automatically switches its Z-Wave frequency with a unique multi-antenna design, based on Homey Bridge's geographical or country location. Additionally, transmitting 433 MHz is automatically enabled in eligible regions, such as Europe and Asia.
