Homey versus Homey PRO

Conclusion:

We tested a few different ways to show the differences between the normal Homey and the PRO. From all tests you can see that the PRO is faster. But what does this mean in practice?

You could tell from my old (normal) Homey that he had trouble with it. Sometimes lights didn't turn on, the APP was slow to respond and sometimes it missed some devices when starting flows. Now with the PRO you notice that the system responds faster. For example, I have a lot of motion sensors that have to turn on a lamp. Sometimes I was in the dark for a few seconds, this is no longer the case.

So the upgrade has certainly made sense.

Which one should I buy?

If you are going to start automating and you are not planning to make your system big then the normal version of the Homey is fine. Only experience shows that once you are working with your Smart Home you want to automate more and more. Because of this you will at some point run into the limits of the normal Homey. The advice is to immediately go for the PRO version.

This test was done with:

Homey version: 4.20
APP version: 6.1.0.633
