Data Privacy and Security Homey Pro prioritizes your privacy and security. All your data is stored locally on the device, ensuring your information remains secure and private. This local storage eliminates reliance on external servers, which can be vulnerable to breaches, offering peace of mind that your smart home is safe and your data protected. Extendable Coverage with Homey Bridge The Homey Pro can be connected to a Homey Bridge for homes needing additional range.
