When will Homey be able to match HomeCenter

I'm struggling for  a while now with my Homey. When I ordered I had the perfect replacement in mind for my HomeWizard and WoonVeilig (Alarm system). 

My experience however that it's not even close. I want to build my own alarm system. I use Fibaro motion detectors and door contacts. Looking at the flow options, it's really minimal and by far not like for instand Fibaro HomeCenter.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not posting to dish Homey, just looking for other experience in this area. Is it me, or are others struggling with this?

    depends on what u want at this moment.
    KAKU, hue, push notifications work perfect for me, zwave ya there working on it, same with bluetooth.
    Its getting better n better every week/month.

    When you log-in to ur homey u see this beta label, not to dish u or anything but there is a reason for that
  • Imho Homey will never be a replacement for an alarm system. It it not designed for that. 
    If there is an app it will be able to communicate with your alarm, and add some nice functions, but dont expect to replace an alarm system.
     For the rest, I don't know how long it will take to remove the beta label.
    ( For Gmail the product was good enough to use several years before they removed the beta label :-) )
